Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
It’s a brownie. It’s a cookie. It’s a… brookie? Crownie? Whatever you call it, it is deeeeeelicious; every bit as scrumptious as that Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie for One that I haven’t been able to get out of my mind over the past couple of weeks. This version uses oil instead of butter, white chocolate chips instead…
In fact, I used to detest the flavor and texture. As a little girl, I’d bypass all of the Mounds and Almond Joy bars in my Halloween loot and head straight for the Snickers and Twix bars. Then I discovered the Girl Scout Caramel Delights cookies, (we didn’t call them Samoas down in PA where…
I’m not quite sure how I went so long without a macaroon fix, but I decided it was high time to create another variation to what just might be my favorite cookie recipe. For this go-around I went with a carrot cake flavor profile, using grated carrots, chopped pecans, and a trifecta of warm spices: cinnamon, ginger,…
Oh pumpkin, how I love thee. As soon as the first hints of fall begin whispering in my ear to crack open the first glorious can of pumpkin of the season, I run to the grocery store and stock up. Now that it’s officially fall, I can post pumpkin recipes with abandon, right?! These paleo cookies…
I’ve made Gina’s Chocolate Chunk {Paleo} Cookies many times; John, Lily, and I all absolutely love them. They’re easy to make, call for healthy ingredients, and taste fabulous. I rarely make a recipe more than once, so the fact that the cookies have become a staple in our house tells you just how awesome they are! I…
I couldn’t shake that peanut butter cannoli from my mind, but my arteries were still yelling at me in protest (I’m ever the cardiologist’s daughter) over the insanely decadent fat-laden indulgence. I’m okay with splurging once in a while, but – as you know – I make healthier sweets to enjoy on a regular basis. My sweet…
Although it has definitely been cool enough for baking here in Massachusetts over the past few days, I am aware that there are other states that are currently seeing above-average temperatures; and why shouldn’t folks who live in those areas be able to enjoy homemade seasonal treats? If it’s still warm where you live but…
A seasonal favorite of kids (ok, and some adults) across the country, caramel apples are inarguably one of the edible encompassments of fall. The confection-encased fruit-on-a-stick treats are proffered at apple orchards, fairs, festivals, birthday parties, and Halloween celebrations just to name a few traditional venues. Although I love the flavor combination of rich caramel…
Blame “mommy brain”, tiredness, or just plain old laziness, but the only recipe I could come up with for you this week is another version of my beloved coconut-oat macaroons. I’m nearing double digits with the number of macaroon variations I’ve posted, but I just can’t get enough the the crisp outside, chewy inside, and overall deliciousness…
If I delivered presents to children around the world in one night, these are one of the cookies I’d like to refuel with. Crispy outside, soft inside, and a delectable hybrid of coconut macaroons & classic peanut butter cookies, they are healthy enough to eat for breakfast but tasty enough to satisfy your sweet tooth….
