Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
Here we are still in the month of January and I’m already posting a Valentine’s Day-inspired recipe. This is an impressive feat for me, especially considering that the vast majority of my time is spent chasing after and playing with our ever increasingly adorable little toddler. This cake is chocolaty, rich, fudgy, dense, and decadent,…
So I’ve got the adults covered this Valentine’s Day with my Flourless Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Sauce for Two; now it’s the kids’ turn. These crispy cereal clusters are a cinch to pull together, and what kid (or adult, for that matter) doesn’t love the peanut butter & chocolate combination? I used dark chocolate chips, but…
We are one week shy of Christmas Eve! That gives me seven days to fit in a few more holiday-themed recipes; let’s start with this uniquely delicious “butter”. There’s no actual butter in the recipe, but the texture is smooth & creamy and the flavor is rich & decadent, so I couldn’t come up with a more…
When I was in college, my sorority had an annual holiday party with our “brother” fraternity. Our hosts always served hot chocolate spiked with Peppermint Schnapps (among other alcoholic beverages); tasty, yes, but you wouldn’t want to drink more than a few of those doozies. Fortunately, I didn’t overdo it and I still enjoy the chocolate/mint…
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…
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…
This is my first venture into the field of cake pops – yet another foodie trend that took over the blogosphere this past year or so. You can probably guess from the photos that I didn’t actually use cake for the pops… but rather Cake Batter Cashew Butter “truffles”. I combined Ashley’s cake batter-flavored cashew butter with…
For all of you fans of my dried fruit and nut “truffles”: I am sorry for abandoning you for so long. It’s been about two months since I posted the Ginger and White Chocolate Truffles, and it’s high time for another version. 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…
