Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
You may be asking yourself: “How many more posts is she going to publish with food in front of the lit Christmas tree?!” The answer is: none. This is it. My last holiday recipe. And it’s a gooooooood one! I’m all about the chocolate/peppermint flavor combination this year. I shared my recipe for Peppermint White Hot…
If you’re looking for a delightful and nutritious way to start your day, look no further than this Stone Fruit Almond Breakfast Crisp. Bursting with the flavors of ripe stone fruits and the satisfying crunch of almonds, this breakfast dish is not only delicious but also a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals to kickstart…
I was contacted not long ago by Ryan from POM Wonderful, who offered to send me a case of the company’s 100% pomegranate juice. Never one to turn down something delicious, (I’ve tasted – and really liked – POM in the past), I immediately responded in the affirmative. A week later, a box of chilled POM…
These delectable little bites are – if you will – the love child of my Coconut-Oat Macaroons and chocolate truffles. They are almost completely raw, sweetened only with maple syrup, and easy to make. No oven. No refined sugar. No long hours spent in the kitchen. Sounds like a pretty good summer dessert, no? The filling is…

Consider these truffles the more decadent, evil, dark chocolate cousin to those angelic white…

Pinkberry. Red Mango. BerryLine. Chances are you are geographically close to one of these tart frozen yogurt shops that keep gaining in popularity throughout the nation. Touting a lower fat and sugar content than ice cream, frozen yogurt is obviously a lighter choice than its traditional frozen dessert counterpart. Now, I am a devout ice cream…
Rice pudding – to me – is a dessert that transcends seasonality. Whether you cozy up to a steaming bowl of the comforting dessert on a blustery winter evening or relax with a dish of the chilled treat on a sweltering summer afternoon, rice pudding is a delicious indulgence. Here I offer you a vegan version that is fantastic…
HAPPY AUTUMN!!! Now that it’s officially fall, I can start posting pumpkin recipes with reckless abandon ;). Last fall – in the foodie blogosphere – was the year of homemade Pumpkin Spice Lattes; you know, the seasonal Starbucks beverage that clocks in at 200 calories and 37 grams of sugar for a tall (12 oz) latte made with…
