Rachel tailored this cookbook for those with food sensitivities and chronic illness. As for the truffles, they are filled with good ingredients, like 100-percent dark chocolate, tahini and maple syrup, which allows these desserts to be somewhat blood sugar friendly.

This Is a Way Better Mayo-Alternative
It's called Sesame Tahani...and Chef George Duran who's ABC's Good Morning America Food Contributor says if you give it a chance, it can also be your new mayonnaise, with practically none of the nutritional issues the venerable condiment currently has. Chef George stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about how great Sesame Tahani actually is. He puts on burgers, spreads it on toast and uses it in place of where you put peanut butter or mayo. The reason he can do that, he told Tonia, is because Sesame Tahani offers a creamy texture with something of a Mediterranean flavor profile that really sings with ground beef. And it still offers a somewhat nutty texture as well. Chef George says when put it on a burger, those who have not had it yet will really be surprised at how good it is!
