Finally, a chocolate pudding that does not contain avocado, banana or coconut flesh. After searching the internet, perusing several websites with inventive ways to create a veganish-vegetarianish chocolate pudding, I discovered one recipe that was closest to what my mind had imagined as a healthy version of this chocolate delight.  On the site, The Vegan 8, recipe guru Brandi, has created all kinds of updated versions of favorite desserts.  My creation is Brandi's version of Vegan Mexican Chocolate Sweet Potato Pudding with a few minor changes and it is fantastic ( http://thevegan8.com )!  My basic chocolate pudding varies somewhat as I wanted to use different quantities, sweeteners and milks, and leave out the cayenne:   2 cups packed, cooked, cooled, organic sweet potatoes (baked at 400 degrees for an hour or so) 2/3 cup organic cashew milk (mine was homemade, but you can use store bought) 6 T.

Always on the look out for products that make life a little easier, and more enjoyable, I was delighted to discover Mikey's Original English Muffins.  Although they do not have the same texture or taste as a traditional English muffin, they are a terrific find for those who strive to maintain a gluten-free diet. The texture is more that of muffin meets bread in the shape of a biscuit, which completely satisfies any craving one might have for a tasty, toasted breakfast bread.  Of course, I would prefer they were organic, but with only six ingredients (including non-GMO eggs), I enjoy slathering on my favorite nut butter or some Probiotic Melt Organic Buttery Spread - it is vegan, soy-free, non-GMO, and probiotics for better digestion. I can devour one every now and then without concern. Both Mikey's and Melt have offer other products you might enjoy.   https://mikeysmuffins.com/ http://www.meltorganic.com/our-products/introducing-new-melt-organic-probiotic-spr...

There are so many ideas on eating a healthy diet that I like to provide a glimpse into all types of concepts and options available.  The Ketogenic Diet is a hot topic with its roots in the treatment of certain types of epilepsy.  On his blog, Robb Wolf, provides a mini history of the use of a Ketogenic Diet on patients suffering with epilepsy.  It is a good read to add to your dietary information arsenal.   Links to Part I & II below: Image via Robb Wolf website http://robbwolf.com/2015/09/24/the-origin-and-future-of-the-ketogenic-diet-part-1/ http://robbwolf.com/2015/09/30/the-origin-and-future-of-the-ketogenic-diet-part-2/
