What’s creamy, delicious, and tastes like real French Style herb-garlic soft cheese? This! Treeline French Style Cheese is an amazing find for anyone who is avoiding dairy, but longing for the satisfying texture and savory flavor only soft, spreadable herb-garlic cheese can offer.
It’s cashew based, and gluten, diary, and soy free. There are several varieties, and I found it at Wegmans in their Natural Foods refrigerated section. Treeline makes several varieties, and they all sound delicious. I’ve used the herb-garlic variety.
Here are three ways I’ve tried it:
Next time you’re in the mood for some creamy and savory goodness, give this a try. It’s a little pricey, but totally worth the splurge!! ~ Vicki

Looking for a way to satisfy your longing for bread without compromising your Paleo, Keto, or nut-free eating plan? Check out this bread recipe! This recipe also works for those of us who may have been avoiding bread because of the yeast used as the rising agent.
Flax seeds, the main ingredient, are considered to be a superfood because of their nutrient-dense profile. Flax seeds (which contain protein, fiber, omega 3’s fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins, and lignans) are most easily digested and assimilated when they are ground into meal.

Twenty minutes a day of sunshine without sunscreen provides our daily dose of vitamin D, naturally!
But on those occasions when you’re going to be outside longer, you’re going to want to use a sunscreen that isn’t loaded with chemicals that are known endocrine disruptors.
A better option is to use a broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen containing only zinc and/or titanium dioxide. We’ve searched out a couple of great options for you to try:
The first, Countersun Mineral Sunscreen by Beautycounter, is a water-resistant, light-weight zinc oxide formula for face and body that contains aloe and antioxidants. It needs to be re-applied at least every two hours; more often if you’re in the water. Our own Kristin Stephens is a Beautycounter consultant! For more information about Countersun Mineral Sunscreen, click here.
The second, All Good Kids Sunscreen Lotion, is a broad-spectrum, hypoallergenic, gluten- and GMO-free, vegan, biodegradable formula. All Good also makes sunscreen formulas for adults, and you can find these great products on amazon.com and at Target.
Remember to protect your skin this summer and go out and enjoy the sunshine!
