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…...
Peanut Butter Banana Bread Whoopie Pies {7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats}
Today is day two of my 7 Days of Festive Holiday Treats event, and I’d like to have something for everyone. I know this recipe will appeal to the more health-conscious. Maybe you enjoy festive baking, but want to eat a bit cleaner – something along the lines of my Skinny Caramel Macchiato Cookies? I think you’ll love these....
Skinny Caramel Macchiato Cookies
Ladies, this treat is for you. Because I know that some afternoons just require a little sweet treat to perk things up. (And afternoon coffee needs a partner, right? ;) ) On one such afternoon when I was brewing up a pot of French press, I decided to take a peek into my pantry to see what I could nibble on along with my coffee. As soon as I opened the door, the overwhelming smell of my favorite caramel extract wafted out. Sadly, it had spilled (no idea how that happened!) but at least it made the entire pantry smell like heaven. And don’t worry, […]...
Date Loaf Cake
Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting, has just begun; this means that for a whole month Mike and I won’t be eating or drinking from sunrise to sunset. (I will still be posting regularly though — I have quite the backlog to share with you!) The point is to teach you patience, discipline, and empathy for others who aren’t as fortunate. I have to say, it really works…food and drink (especially cold water!) never taste as good the rest of the year as they do during Ramadan....
Coconut-Chocolate Chunk Muffins {Paleo}
A couple weeks ago my mom and sister came over for coffee one afternoon; snacks were a must and I was prepared with these muffins. As my mom reached for one, she asked what they were. Just give them a taste…you’ll like them, I coaxed. (I didn’t want to turn her off to them before she had even tasted them by saying they’re paleo…my mom is a healthy eater, but she’s very much a traditionalist. She hears paleo and thinks cardboard texture and flavor.)...
Chocolate Avocado Pudding {Vegan}
Vegan Chocolate Avocado Pudding is lusciously rich and creamy with deep chocolate flavor…but secretly healthy! It’s not new, but on the off chance that someone hasn’t made chocolate avocado pudding I wanted to share my version. If you’re on the fence about making it, give it a try! If the fact that it’s healthy doesn’t sell you, just know that its creaminess rivals that of any chocolate pudding you’ve indulged in. (And no, you can’t taste the avocado!) :)...
Toasted Coconut-Almond Biscotti {Giveaway!}
I have a picture of each of the seasons in my mind…summer is grill parties, fall is harvest dinners, and winter is comforting stews, roasts, and casseroles. But every time cheery spring arrives with its bright blossoms, chirping birds, and sunny days, I feel like brunch is in order....
Honey-Nut Banana Muffins {Gluten-Free; Naturally Sweetened}
Ever notice subtle seasonal changes in your eating habits? I don’t just mean the gravitation towards soups in the winter and salads in the summer…these days it seems like I crave something warm and comforting all day long. Case in point, every day around 3 o’clock in the afternoon I like to make a cup of tea…it keeps me warm on these chilly January days. And of course a little treat along with tea never hurts, right?...
