Head to Heal is always looking for inspiring cookbooks and we carry a new one that fits the bill in the Wholistic dispensary! It is called Joyous Cookbook by nutritionist Joy McCarthy. It is chock full of delicious easy recipes and great nutritional information. Her Gluten Free Pizza Crust recipe is a keeper. It is protein and fiber rich. It makes enough for one 12 inch pizza crust.
