Mango Muffins Recipe

March 20, 2020 by Faith 30 Comments

As a play on the flavors in an Indian Mango Lassi drink, this Mango Muffins Recipe has deep mango flavor with a hint of vanilla and cardamom and a soft, tender crumb.

One day a while ago, Mike came home with a box of mangoes. He was so excited because he found them up at a local Indian market for me because I had asked him for Indian (Alphonso) mangoes.

I asked him where the mangoes were from and he proudly exclaimed “The Indian market!” I checked the produce stickers and had to laugh when I saw that they were from Mexico.…

Low-Carb Fathead Carrot Cake Sticky Buns

March 19, 2018 by Faith 10 Comments

Low-Carb Fathead Carrot Cake Sticky Buns have everything you love about sticky buns, minus the carbs and sugar! I think there isn’t any dessert that’s more representative of spring than carrot cake (or maybe some kind of lemon treat!). I’m always surprised by how many people like it! (I mean, it’s a little surprising…it is cake with veggies in it, lol.) I make my family and close friends cakes for their birthdays and carrot cake is definitely a fan favorite....

Cheater’s Salsa {Paleo; Whole30}

January 30, 2017 by Faith 6 Comments

Paleo and Whole30-friendly Cheater’s Salsa puts fire-roasted canned tomatoes to perfect use, combining them with fresh onion, garlic, jalapeno, lime juice, and cilantro for an easy sauce similar to restaurant-style salsa that comes together in mere minutes. The past three times I’ve gone to Wegmans I’ve seen a homemade guacamole and fresh salsa display front and center in their produce area. They have all the fixings you need to make your own (tomato, avocado, lime, garlic, jalapenos, cilantro), and there are also tubs of store-made guac and fresh salsa. The last time I saw that display I couldn’t resist anymore (I guess that’s the ingenious […]...

The prospect of a 2-Minute Gluten-Free Microwave Muffin will make you want to get out of bed on even the coldest mornings! Plus six other ideas for healthy homemade hot breakfasts that whip up in about five minutes to start your day off right. The prospect of a warm breakfast is sometimes the only thing that can coax me out of my cozy bed on a frigid winter morning. But then reality hits and the thought of actually having to make a hot meal at an ungodly hour is enough to make me hit snooze for the next 30 minutes, lol. Thats when its handy […]...

Low-Carb Pumpkin Spice Chia Seed Pudding {Paleo and Vegan-Friendly}

October 24, 2016 by Faith 28 Comments

Paleo and vegan-friendly Low-Carb Pumpkin Spice Chia Seed Pudding is a healthy way to satisfy your pumpkin spice cravings. A friend recently informed me that use of the term “fall” interchangeably with “autumn” is regarded as somewhat savage by non-Americans. I didn’t believe her at first because use of the term savage regarding something so trivial seemed a bit, well, savage to me, lol. It turns out, she’s right though....

Vanilla Yogurt with Grape and Blueberry Compote with Honey and Fresh Rosemary: An Easy Breakfast or Dessert

September 6, 2016 by Faith 17 Comments

I’m thrilled to share #mydailysiggis story along with a few tips and tricks for managing this busy time of year, and my Vanilla Yogurt with Grape and Blueberry Compote with Honey and Fresh Rosemary recipe makes an easy, elegant breakfast or dessert. On any given day when I check my email, I’m likely to get multiple messages saying something along the lines of “time flies!” or “I can’t believe that summer (or fall, or winter, or spring) is nearly over!” or “soon enough it’ll be Thanksgiving (or Christmas, or New Year’s, or Memorial Day)!” or “it’s been forever since we caught up!” I swear it feels like […]...

No-Cook Superfood Chocolate Fudge {Paleo}

August 24, 2016 by Faith 4 Comments

The only thing better than chocolate is chocolate that’s as nourishing as it is delicious; this paleo No-Cook Superfood Chocolate Fudge fits the bill perfectly. Keep it stashed away in your fridge for when your deepest chocolate cravings hit. The term “superfood” is such a trendy buzz word that for me usually conjures up images of things like leafy greens, grapefruit, salmon, and olive oil. Maybe even dark chocolate. But truthfully, butter never crossed my mind. That is, until I met Heba of EatLuv and discovered her passion for top-quality clarified butter (ghee), which provides a whole host of health benefits....

Mexican-Spiced Triple Chocolate Muffins

May 27, 2016 by Faith 5 Comments

Mexican-Spiced Triple Chocolate Muffins feature deep chocolate flavor with a hint of cinnamon and cayenne; if you’re a fan of Mexican Hot Chocolate, these muffins are for you! Some people see a couple of near-rotten bananas on their countertop as a reason to bring out their favorite tried-and-true banana bread recipe (for me, that would be this thing of beauty). But as a food blogger, I see extra-ripe bananas as a reason to think outside the loaf....

Pumpkin Spice Latte Snack Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream

October 21, 2015 by Faith 45 Comments

This Pumpkin Spice Latte Snack Cake with Brown Butter Buttercream is the perfect festive treat to whip up if you’re in the mood for a little fall baking! I seriously hope you haven’t reached your quota of pumpkin spice latte fun yet this fall because this cake is one of the best pumpkin creations to come out of my kitchen in a while. And come on, you probably still have a can of pumpkin in your pantry…or maybe even half a can or so in your fridge that you’re wondering how to use up? I have you covered....

Strawberry and Cream Smoothie Bowl

June 26, 2015 by Faith 9 Comments

Every spring I look forward to picking strawberries the same way I look forward to picking apples in fall. It’s like a seasonal rite of passage. But then when the time actually comes to do the picking, typically my basket isn’t even halfway full when I end up thinking about how much easier it would be to just buy the fruit pre-picked. So it goes every year, lol....
