I am an ice cream girl. All the way. Giving up dairy two years ago meant switching to coconut ice cream, and believe it or not- I thoroughly enjoy it. Partly because it’s creamy and still has that density that we’ve come to expect from ice cream. It’s also healthier than ice cream because guess what:…… Continue reading I Scream for Nice Cream!
What’s the weekend without a good slice of dense, rich chocolate cake? I like to call this particular recipe “Chocolate Cake 2.0” because it’s THAT good. That subtle hint of citrus stemming from the blood oranges that get pureed into the batter (pulp, skin & everything) after being boiled for 2 hours, is incredibly good- yet…… Continue reading Gluten Free Chocolate Blood Orange Cake
I started typing this blog entry surrounded by the strong smell of freshly brewed coffee, the friendly buzz of people, & a few, rare minutes of “freedom” as one of my best friends entertains my youngest child, Grace. So very thankful to the friends who make this blog possible; because through their help, they enable…… Continue reading Gluten Free Raspberry Clafoutis
I was the grinch of Valentine’s Day. Truth. I absolutely recoiled in the festivities surrounding this date. It wasn’t about the sentiment or meaningfulness of cupid’s holiday or anything along those lines. It was just the cheesy, completely over-the-top decor & frilly heart garlands hanging everywhere. From the packed, noisy restaurants dimly lit in an attempt to create a…… Continue reading Say it with Chocolate! Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Tartelettes
So, are you a muffin or a cupcake person? For me, the answer depends on the time of day you pose the question at. I crave warm muffins for breakfast & cupcakes the rest of the day. Simple enough logic, right? A healthy banana muffin can make for the perfect breakfast to-go, in all seriousness. It’s the ultimate…… Continue reading Paleo Banana Muffins
We like our weekends lazy, but this one was everything BUT. Our weeks are incredibly busy with dropping off kids, picking them up, taking them to dance class & karate, baking, blogging, working, running with the house (you get the idea)! Am sure your weeks are jammed packed, too. I sometimes think it’s an obsession for us…… Continue reading Brookies: Brownies, Meet Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Psstt…If you haven’t tried chia pudding yet, this post is for you. Yes, you. It’s the holy grail of health foods. It’s so incredibly filling & nourishing & packed to the brim with almost everything your body needs. But if you don’t like carrot cake- hmmm.. perhaps you should omit the “topping”. Because it’s truly…… Continue reading Chia Goodness Overload: Carrot Cake Chia Pudding!
So, I am revamping an older post because, guess what? This incredibly simple, creamy, drinkable vegan chocolate recipe ended up being the most popular smoothie on the blog in 2015! I am thrilled because this means I’ve connected with other fellow die-hard chocoholics who are in search of healthier alternatives. If like myself; you’re not…… Continue reading Creamy Raw Cacao, Almond Butter & Oats Smoothie
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
