Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding (Tastes Like Healthy Peanut Butter Pie!)

September 10, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

This Chocolate Peanut Butter Chia Pudding tastes like healthy peanut butter pie, but is nourishing enough to enjoy for breakfast.

I still remember the first time I had peanut butter pie; truthfully, it was by no means healthy peanut butter pie! This wasn’t a pie I grew up with; my mom was an apple and pumpkin pie maker, so I was an adult the first time I had it. I was in college at the time, and it was at a chain diner, I think Perkins, if I’m not mistaken, or maybe it was Denny’s. I remember thinking, Oh wow, that’s what I’ve been missing all this time?! Let’s just say it was pretty dang good, lol.…

Black Forest Chia Pudding Nice Cream Recipe (Healthy Banana Ice Cream)

July 16, 2018 by Faith Leave a Comment

Black Forest Chia Pudding Nice Cream Recipe (Healthy Banana Ice Cream) is fruit-based (cherries and banana), contains healthy fat (chia seeds), and is equally satisfying for breakfast or dessert. I remember the first time I tried my hand at making banana ice cream (aka nice cream). It was circa 2010 and I was living in Buffalo craving a soft serve from Kone King something fierce. A friend told me about nice cream and I decided to try it. Back then, I had no idea just how versatile nice cream is, and that it can be made into things like this Black Forest Chia Pudding Nice Cream […]...

Low-Carb Keto No-Churn Vanilla Cheesecake Ice Cream with Strawberry Swirl and Chocolate Chunks

February 12, 2018 by Faith 5 Comments

Low-Carb Keto No-Churn Vanilla Cheesecake Ice Cream with Strawberry Swirl and Chocolate Chunks is the perfect treat to keep in your freezer for those times when an ice cream craving hits! I had high hopes of making cheesecake-stuffed chocolate-drizzled strawberries this Valentine’s Day. Alas, the best laid plans. (But if you haven’t seen them, do a quick Google search because they are quite possibly the cutest food ever. But I’ll admit, I was feeling a little unmotivated – ahem, lazy – when it comes to meticulously piping cheesecake into strawberries.)...

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch

January 1, 2018 by Faith 1 Comment

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Maple Brown Butter Frosting and Hazelnut Caramel Crunch are soft and chewy with flavor notes of nuts, caramel, and maple. On the first day of the New Year it’s probably more customary to share a healthy new year’s resolution type of recipe. I’m breaking all the rules with these whoopie pies! But they might just be so wrong they’re right....

December 12, 2017 by Faith 2 Comments

Thank you to Back to Nature for sponsoring this post. I am happy for the opportunity to share brands that I believe in with my readers, and I hope you enjoy my recipe. As always, opinions stated are my own. Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip pairs caramel flavor, pecans, and chocolate in a satisfying cheesecake-like treat. Confession time. It’s hard for me to fully enjoy something like a slice of yellow cake heavy-laden with a thick layer of vanilla bean buttercream (but yuuuum, vanilla bean buttercream). Or a hot fudge sundae with ice cream that’s just starting to melt because of the rich and decadent […]...

Salted Peanut Butter and Chocolate Snickers Brown Butter Blondies

October 30, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Salted Peanut Butter and Chocolate Snickers Brown Butter Blondies are gooey little bars of bliss…a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy! Every now and again I get the urge for some kind of junk food. Like a hotdog with a side of fries, or a juicy burger and a chocolate milkshake. Or pizza and wings with blue cheese (yuuummm). Or on the sweeter side, chocolate cake, mint chip ice cream, or blondies. The struggle is real, friends....

Keto Chocolate-Coated Maple Walnut Cheesecake Truffles are quick and easy to whip up, and a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth while getting in healthy probiotics! Are you the type of person who orders a different flavor of ice cream every time or do you stick with your tried and true favorite? I go back and forth between things like mint chocolate chip, chocolate peanut butter, […]...

Sno Ball Brownies {aka Chocolate Brownies Topped with Marshmallow and Toasted Coconut}

April 7, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Sno Ball Brownies {aka Chocolate Brownies Topped with Marshmallow and Toasted Coconut} feature a fudgy brownie base, fluffy marshmallow layer, and toasted coconut topping. Anyone else remember eating those little cream-filled chocolate cakes covered in marshmallow and pink coconut as a kid? Those were the sort of things that my sister and I considered a complete treat when we’d go to our friends’ houses and have them…because my mom never kept them around (and now I’m glad she didn’t, lol!)....

Easy No-Cook Tiramisu is easy enough to make any night, but special enough for a special occasion. We all have that one thing that when we see on a menu, our eyes light up and we just can’t resist ordering. For me, it’s tiramisu....

Crispy Toasted Puffed Quinoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bars

February 24, 2017 by Faith 5 Comments

Crispy Toasted Puffed Quinoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bars are a real-food take on a favorite candy bar! Growing up in the ‘80’s/90’s, things like Boston Baked Beans (the candy coated peanuts), candy cigarettes, and Warheads were our junk foods of choice. My sister also had a thing for Nestlé Crunch Bars, but I was more of a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup kind-of girl. If I had been able to try this real-food version of a Crunch bar, things might have been different though; IMO, this blows the real thing out of the water....
