My favorite food on Thanksgiving has ALWAYS been the pumpkin pie! And when I discovered how much sugar and processed ingredients go into it, I was determined to find a recipe that is healthier and happier! These pumpkin pie squares are easy because they don't require the extra steps that come with regular pie crust. This healthy alternative replaces evaporated milk with canned coconut milk, and sugar with honey! A healthy and happy solution for the whole family! The pie filling can also be used with any of your favorite pie crust recipes as well, and you can top your pumpkin pie with anything you like! Pumpkin Pie Squares!Ingredients:

Not just the cream on top. *Use organic ingredients when feasible. Our first thanksgiving recipe is now up on the blog! Tis' the season for sweet pastries and pie (even in bite size form)! My mom has always made THE BEST pie crust in history, and I think we have officially converted it to match our healthy Lyme lifestyle.

This recipe is actually a special recipe from the mind and heart of my dad! My dad served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Australia when he was younger, and he recently wanted to recreate this cookie that he had on his mission a lot. Needless to say, they were a huge success and our family loves these delicious creations now! These cookies are made with whole wheat flour, coconut, and oatmeal. They're soft and chewy on the inside, and are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth! Not to mention they are organic, and refined sugar-free! Yum! Australian Anzac CookiesIngredients:

*Use organic ingredients when feasible* Hello! This is your friendly sugar free chocoholic, and I'm here to tell you that IT IS POSSIBLE to eat chocolate and be healthy! This is one of my FAVORITE recipes, and I have to consciously decide to only eat one a day because they taste so similar to store-bought candy! These are so yummy, creamy, and filled with peanut butter! What a great combination! ;) These are also organic, and refined sugar-free like always, and makes a great treat for the holidays! Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups!Ingredients:

*Makes 24 chocolates *Store in refrigerator Remember those bright red fruit roll-ups you used to eat as a child? Remember how they used to turn your tongue red and they mostly tasted like flavored sugar? When I was a kid, I ate these fruit-roll ups on the daily, and the exorbitant amounts of sugar and corn-syrup contained in these kinds of snacks made me incredibly sick and I'd always spend the day with a stomach-ache. Well, we have now come up with a solution! These fruit roll-ups taste like candy, are refined sugar-free, and contain necessary nutrients from real fruit. The awesome thing about this recipe is that you can tweek this recipe to your liking. I'd highly recommend tasting your fruit puree before drying it, and if you feel like it needs more sweeter or cinnamon, you do you. You also don't have to use plums. Whatever fruit you like will make this recipe delicious and successful! Plum Fruit LeatherIngredients:
6 cups plums (cut in half and pitted, they do not have to be peeled) 1/2 cup raw honey 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 2 tsp. ground cinnamon (if desired) 1/4 tsp. cloves (if desired) Directions:
