Eat Healthy – Live long, Live strong
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…
I love pizza. I love the crispy crust and melty cheese. I love that a homemade pie can be healthy if you use a whole wheat crust, a small amount of sharply flavored cheese, and wholesome add-ons. I love the variety of cuisines that can be morphed into pizza with a wide array of toppings….
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…
There’s something undeniably comforting about the aroma of freshly baked bread filling your home. It’s a warm invitation to gather around the kitchen and savor the simple pleasures of life. If you’re a fan of sweet, nutty, and slightly spicy flavors, then you’re in for a treat. We’re going to explore the delightful world of…
We plowed through the paleo Chocolate Chip, Coconut, & Almond Flour Cookies in no time; and instead of making yet another batch, I decided to tweak the recipe with a new flavor profile. Carrots took the place of the chocolate chips, I added in some ground cinnamon, and I swapped the honey for Grade B maple syrup…
Mac & cheese falls under the “I make it for my kid, but I secretly also love it” category. You know, the category that includes pizza, chicken fingers, burgers, etc. John and I joke that we make a lot of kid food; and we started doing so well before Lily started eating solids. A lot…
