Chocolate-Covered Sponge Candy

December 30, 2020 by Faith 31 Comments

Homemade Chocolate-Covered Sponge Candy is easier to make than you might think. If you love this candy as much as this Buffalo girl, this recipe is for you! Here the crunch and complex sweetness of caramelized sugar candy is coated with chocolate for a treat everyone loves.

We don’t talk candy much around here, which is probably for the best.

Of course with the exception of things like Crispy Toasted Puffed Quinoa Dark Chocolate Candy Bars, Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, and Paleo Candy Apple Wedges.…

Vanilla Bean and Maple Toasted Pecan Marshmallows {Paleo}

November 13, 2017 by Faith Leave a Comment

Vanilla Bean and Maple Toasted Pecan Marshmallows {Paleo} are a fun and festive treat to have on hand during the holidays or any time a sweet tooth strikes. I’m about to tell you something that I hope doesn’t change your opinion of me: I’ve never been a huge fan of marshmallows (gasp!). I wouldn’t by choice top my hot cocoa with marshmallow instead of whipped cream. I’ve always hated those yellow peeps things at Easter. And when s’mores time rolls around I’m always happiest roasting a marshmallow or two for someone else and just snagging a little piece of chocolate for myself....

Protein Chocolate Fudge {Gluten-Free; Vegan}

March 25, 2016 by Faith 9 Comments

Protein Chocolate Fudge that won’t foil your healthy eating…this rich gluten-free treat is sweetened with dates and pure maple syrup with complex flavor notes of vanilla and espresso. We all get those days. Maybe that one coworker was relentless today, or maybe traffic was especially fun. Maybe your hubs is giving your marriage vows a run for their money (hey, it happens in real life). Or perhaps it’s just that time of the month. Whatever the reason, sometimes we just need a little chocolate in our lives, especially when it’s healthy like this Protein Chocolate Fudge. Am I right, ladies?...

Sweet and Spicy Mango Vinaigrette

May 15, 2015 by Faith 5 Comments

One of my favorite things about moving to a new place and exploring the area is checking out the local restaurants. You know, seeing who has the best coffee and where I can grab a quick lunch on the go. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it. ;)...

Last summer when Mike and I were leaving Kuwait to move back home, I was trying to use up everything I possibly could from our pantry....

Chinese-Inspired Plum Sauce {Paleo}

May 7, 2014 by Faith 7 Comments

I got you some fruit – your favorite!, Mike said with a huge smile one day a while ago when he came home from work. I ran over eagerly and peered into the large brown paper bag he was holding, wondering if it was housing apples, grapes, figs, or maybe even dragon fruit....

Ras el Hanout {Moroccan Spice Mix}

January 17, 2014 by Faith 23 Comments

What I love most about my Middle Eastern kitchen here in Kuwait is how it smells. Yes, it’s clean, so there’s the background smell of cleaner (which I actually love), lol. But it’s the other smells that captivate me… The heady aroma of spices mingling with the soft scent of sweet fresh fruit and the bright smell of freshly ground Turkish coffee. Every time I pass the shelf where I keep my canister of Turkish coffee I can’t help but stop for a moment and inhale deeply....

Homemade Vanilla Powdered Coffee Creamer

December 18, 2013 by Faith 40 Comments

I have been sitting on this recipe for like a year now. A while ago (long before Mike and I moved to Kuwait), I was rumaging through cleaning my pantry and came across a gigantic box of nonfat instant powdered milk way in the back. Don’t ask. I was almost hoping it would be past its expiration date so I wouldn’t have to think of some way to use it, but alas, fate had other plans for me....

June 27, 2013 by Faith 27 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram, you might already know that yesterday I made natural food coloring. This is because I recently got the idea in my head that I absolutely had to make blue frosting. I’ll tell you all about why I needed it soon, but for now, here is a big hint…...
