While on my Spring Cleanse, my diet was dairy, sugar, caffeine, alcohol, and gluten free. I found great foods that met these parameters. Since then, I added back red wine, in moderation, but not much more. I've found great gluten free products that are tasty and satisfying.

In previous posts I mentioned my interest in making Raw Foods a part of my diet. After meeting Diana Stobo and purchasing her cookbook, I started drinking spinach shakes every morning. After completing the Spring Cleanse, I continue to avoid foods with refined sugar, gluten and dairy. This has created a challenge when craving desert. That is, until I discovered this absolutely delicious Brownie recipe. Try it. It's amazing.
