Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding

That old adage of “New Year = New Goals” is an opportunity for all of us to start afresh. I am not particularly fond of New Year resolutions; as we tend to go on the slippery slope of setting unrealistic expectations stemming from multiple resolutions. Not to say I haven’t been there, or done that…… Continue reading Vanilla Chia Seed Pudding

Creamy Raspberry Overnight Oats

In a perfect world, we would all wake up to a freshly-brewed cup of coffee & an enticing breakfast that’s “calling our name”. That surely doesn’t happen (to me, at least)… But I need to make breakfast happen for the 6 beings that run my heart: my 2 and 4 year-old kids, my husband, a dog,…… Continue reading Creamy Raspberry Overnight Oats

Sundays Call For Thin & Crispy French-Style Pancakes!

If you love crêpes, I strongly encourage you to put off the urge to do other (clearly not as important) things & keep on reading… If you don’t like thin pancakes & happen to stubbornly prefer fluffy & moist, “buttermilk-style” pancakes; am sad to inform you this recipe may not be for you.

We…… Continue reading Gooey, Moist & Chewy Breakfast Chocolate Chip Cookies

Life-Changing Dark Chocolate & Pecan Granola

At a glance, this bowl may look like the ultimate naughty treat. “Look away!”- may be a common thought or impulse- but fear not. I will deconstruct this bowl of dark chocolate goodness for you, and there’s nothing in it that’s innately “bad” or unhealthy- so to speak. Unlike most granola recipes which call for crunchy turbinado…… Continue reading Life-Changing Dark Chocolate & Pecan Granola

Amazing Avocado Toast Ideas

Above: Avocado on Spelt Toast with Micro Greens, Chili Olive Oil,  Sea Salt, Paprika & Red Pepper Flakes My love for avocado runs DEEP.

Beyond Blissful Bakes: Blueberry Buttermilk Spelt Muffins

I have shared with you guys that my very busy household (composed of my husband + two toddlers + our very yappy pet dog) does not entirely partake in my gluten-free/dairy-free/sugar-free lifestyle. I made it a point when I started on this food journey that while I would incorporate a lot more whole, unprocessed, foods into their diet; I would not impose any…… Continue reading Beyond Blissful Bakes: Blueberry Buttermilk Spelt Muffins
