Easy Sugar-Free Turtle Cheesecake Dip

December 12, 2017 by Faith 4 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 (quite literally) hot fudge, and garnished with a generous swirl of sweetened whipped cream.…

Lemon and Thyme Chicken Caprese

July 24, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Lemon and Thyme Chicken Caprese transforms a classic caprese salad into a full meal that strikes the right balance between being satisfying but not overly heavy. One of the best things about summer is the food. Whether your favorite is corn, watermelon, peaches, green beans, or tomatoes, there seems to be some new local produce popping up at the farmers market every week. I, for one, am hard-pressed to choose a 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 […]...

Thai-Inspired Chicken and Vegetable Detox Soup {Paleo}

January 2, 2017 by Faith 8 Comments

This cleansing paleo Thai-Inspired Chicken and Vegetable Detox Soup is packed full of both flavor and nutrients. After all the making merry that goes on during the holiday season, most of us could probably use a little TLC in the form of nutrition. After even just a couple days of less conscious eating (read: junk food indulging!) I find that I’m noticeably less energetic, more bloated, and less able to focus. I don’t like to beat myself up over it (because that just leads to a bad relationship with food and let’s be honest, ain’t nobody got time for that), but I do like to […]...

Sumac-Spiced Baked Eggs with Kale {Paleo}

December 19, 2016 by Faith 1 Comment

Paleo Sumac-Spiced Baked Eggs with Kale are just different enough to be more interesting than your average egg dish, but not so off-the-wall that they’re not a crowd-pleaser. Sumac adds a pleasantly tangy flavor that nicely compliments the earthy kale. Last Friday evening, Mike and I photographed and catered a private event. It ended up being a pretty random thing for us; a friend of a friend needed a caterer and I was recommended to cook, and as a total bonus Mike was available for photography. What was the event? A sweetheart of a guy was proposing to his girlfriend (and she said yes!) and […]...

30-Minute Sesame Beef and Snap Pea Stir-Fry Skillet Supper {And Well Fed Weeknights Cookbook Review}

October 3, 2016 by Faith 10 Comments

This paleo, Whole30-friendly 30-Minute Sesame Beef and Snap Pea Stir-Fry Skillet Supper was inspired by Melissa Joulwan’s Well Fed Weeknights cookbook; it’s full of real-food ingredients minus any icky add-ins, and it’s even better than takeout from your favorite Chinese restaurant. So, in a nutshell, Melissa Joulwan is a paleo goddess. She’s the mastermind behind the Well Fed cookbooks and not only are her recipes approachable and innovative, but they’re pretty dang amazing whether you eat paleo or not. I think we can all agree that it’s a pretty good day when you get to eat a meal that’s as insanely delicious as it is nourishing, […]...

Sugar-Free Pumpkin Spice Syrup {For Lattes and More}

October 8, 2012 by Faith 36 Comments

Since I shared my recipe for Pumpkin Spice Syrup a couple years ago, I’ve received request after request for a sugar-free version. You ladies really love your pumpkin spice coffee (I do too!) and I aim to please....

Mini Vanilla-Almond Cupcakes {Grain-Free & Sugar-Free}

April 1, 2012 by Faith 19 Comments

Here’s the recipe I promised you in my Philly Indulgence post…but I can’t take credit for this delicious recipe. ;) My friend Lisa (author of the bog Thrive Style) is incredibly talented. She is constantly coming up with super healthy treats that are just as delicious as they are healthy…which means they’re perfect for not only nourishing your body, but also for satiating a sweet tooth. (And when I mean healthy, I don’t mean healthier-but-still-not-healthy; I mean legitimately healthy. Breakfast-food healthy.) And when I can eat a breakfast that tastes indulgent but will leave me feeling energized and ready to start my day, I am […]...
