Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes

I am a die-hard chocoholic. No shame in my game. No desire to hide it, either. I just reinvent my favorite chocolatey desserts to make them healthier, and more chocolatey. Both of which are possible, let me explain. I strip them of white sugar, white flour and butter or other forms of dairy. But- I…… Continue reading Paleo Chocolate Cupcakes

Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Life without peanut butter (or any nut butter, for that matter) would be incredibly dull + boring, don’t ya think? There once was a girl (not naming names) that was seriously addicted to a certain peanut butter recipe (that was conveniently written) on the back of a certain peanut butter jar. By the way, sorry…… Continue reading Flourless Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Oh.My.God. I have a newfound appreciation for what chia & chocolate can accomplish when paired together… Chocolate Chia Pudding is the stuff breakfast dreams are made of. It’s the stuff dessert dreams are made of. This pudding is: rich, creamy, chocolatey and healthy. All four adjectives hold true in the same sentence. Chia is a…… Continue reading Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding

Gluten Free Raspberry Clafoutis

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

Say it with Chocolate! Healthy Chocolate Hazelnut Tartelettes

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

Brookies: Brownies, Meet Chocolate Chip Cookies!

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!
