Today marks mine and Mike’s 8th wedding anniversary, which seems completely crazy to me. (Crazy that eight years have passed, not that we’ve stuck together that long. Although, maybe it is a little crazy since we were so young when we got married…who says kids can’t make good choices? Lol.) Anyway, people have been congratulating us all over the place for passing the “seven year itch”, so I’ll take our 8th anniversary as a really good omen. I don’t like PDAs (which includes PDAs on the blog!) so not to worry, I won’t get all mushy here. But I will tell you a little something […]...
Salted Coconut Caramel Sauce {Paleo}
I know you’re going to see this caramel and think I’m a liar. You’ll think it was made with naughty things heavy cream, white sugar, and bricks of butter....
Healthy Chocolate-Walnut Fudge
A while ago I bought a bulk-sized package of creamed coconut on Amazon. I was actually looking for coconut cream but I couldn’t find it; not realizing that several coconut products (creamed coconut, coconut cream, and cream of coconut) were named in a lawyer-like fashion with their meaning hinging on an ever-so-slight difference in word ordering, I bought a six-pack. How different could creamed coconut really be from coconut cream?, I asked myself. I was about to find out. Let’s just say, perhaps the only thing they have in common is that they’re made from coconut....
Vegan Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk
This is one of those recipes that you might look at and think Hmmm…now what am I going to do with that?! Surprisingly, it has so many uses beyond its obvious use as a substitute for regular (store-bought) sweetened, condensed milk....
Healthy Shamrock Shake {Mint-Flavored Smoothie}
I’ve never had a real Shamrock Shake, and by “real” I mean one from McDonald’s. Even though my shake is a knock-off, I’m guessing it has more real ingredients than the McDonald’s version… A lover of all things mint, I decided to re-do the Shamrock Shake into a breakfast-worthy meal that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day, or any day you want a sweet but healthy start....
Individual Chocolate-Topped Mint Cheesecakes {Healthy Enough for Breakfast}
In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I have a quick and easy (naturally) green treat that’s healthy enough for breakfast. Because what’s more fun than green food for breakfast on St. Paddy’s Day? I like to think eating green is as important as wearing green on St. Patrick’s....
Thick & Creamy Vanilla-Pistachio Drink
This drink is incredibly rich; if you’ve ever had a European hot chocolate, the thickness of this drink will probably remind you of that. But hot chocolate wasn’t my inspiration…I had sahlab in mind!...
Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are some kind of wonderful. The best kind of wonderful, actually, because when chocolate is involved and it nourishes and energizes you instead of making you feel lethargic, groggy, and weighted-down, it’s pretty amazing. I’ve been working on perfecting my grain-free naturally-sweetened chocolate chip cookie recipe for quite a while now, and I’ve tried all different variations. Some with a mashed banana base, some with a nut butter base. While they were all delicious, I wanted something that is as close as I could get it to a classic chocolate chip cookie flavor. No bananas welcome, and sorry nut butter, I still love […]...
Paleo Cream of Wheat-Style Porridge
I know this is my second breakfast post in a row, which is a little out of the ordinary for me, but lately my breakfasts have been more interesting than my other meals! And this breakfast in particular is just too good not to share with you....
Cranberry Flax Cookies {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}
A plateful of these little beauties is just the sort of thing that makes an ordinary afternoon in December a little happier. Picture this…...
