Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe (Paleo)

May 25, 2020 by Faith 25 Comments

This paleo Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe has rich chocolaty flavor and great texture! It’s saved me when I just want a little something sweet that’s fast without eating junk food.

Healthy Chocolate Mug Cake Recipe in White Mug on Wooden Table

Like I mentioned when I told you about my Chocolate Cupcakes for Two, I’m kind-of particular about my cake. (As Mike likes to tell me, I’m kind-of particular about a lot of food-related stuff, but that remains to be proven and is an entirely different discussion for another day.)

Anyway. I don’t think there is anything more disappointing than seeing an absolutely stunning cake and then sinking your teeth into what you think will be pure bliss, and realizing that it tastes like rubbery-textured cardboard.

Such a bummer.…

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Recipe for One (Paleo)

March 27, 2017 by Faith 4 Comments

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Recipe Close Up

This Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake Recipe for One features a sweet vanilla-scented shortcake, and an easy-to-make homemade strawberry sauce. It’s perfect for those spring or summer nights when you want a little treat just for you. I’m not going to lie; as a kid I really disliked strawberry shortcake. It was the soggy cake that deterred me! Not to mention the fact that I really didn’t care much for whipped cream either. (I was such an odd child, lol!)...

To Syria, With Love {And My 10 Mid-East Inspired Sweets E-Cookbook Launch}

November 24, 2014 by Faith 41 Comments

This post has been a long time coming. It’s a bit of a break from my normal type of post, but I think you’ll find it interesting. Plus, it’s really close to my heart, so if you have time, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to read it. Grab a drink and settle in. ;)...

Deluxe Cake Batter Fudge

April 14, 2014 by Faith 11 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m a little hard-pressed to find a dessert that’s suitable for Easter outside of carrot cake, lemon bars, or orange chiffon cake. And of course all the cutesy little bunny and egg-topped cupcakes and cookies. There’s nothing wrong with any of those things (in fact, I die over a good slice of carrot cake!), but I don’t know…I like to mix things up a little. If you’re the same way, this fudge will definitely keep things interesting....

Toasted Coconut Cream Pudding

January 15, 2014 by Faith 17 Comments

Here in the Middle East, hospitality reigns supreme. This means that at any time a guest could pop by unannounced and you have to be ready to be hospitable. Which basically means you have to be willing to drop whatever it is you were doing before they arrived and entertain them, and of course you need to have a well-stocked fridge so you can offer them refreshments....

Vanilla-Cardamom Pear Hand Pies

November 15, 2013 by Faith 22 Comments

I’m one of those people. You know, the people who get an idea stuck in their head and can’t sit still until it’s not just an idea anymore. I need something tangible to come from it. Like the time I woke up with the idea of snack cake stuck in my head. It didn’t take long before my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Snack Cake came into fruition. Unlike that cake, these little hand-held treats took a bit more thought. All I knew was that “hand pie” was stuck in my head like glue and the idea wasn’t going anywhere until they were made....

Healthy Candy Apple Wedges {Paleo}

October 30, 2013 by Faith 40 Comments

How many of you will admit to sneaking some of your kid’s Halloween candy when no one is looking? I don’t have kids (yet!), but yeah, I’d be guilty as charged. It’s the stuff we won’t buy for ourselves, but if it’s just hanging around, it’s fair game. If you didn’t buy it for yourself, the calories don’t count, right? ;) I like to have healthier treats that will still satisfy a sweet tooth at the ready....

Butter-Rum Brown Sugar Cake

December 23, 2011 by Faith 27 Comments

Does anyone remember butter rum flavored Life Savers candy? (By the way, what happened to those? I haven’t seen them in years.) When I was a kid, my grandmother always used to have a roll (or two) tucked away in her purse, and they made an exceptional (albeit, very rare) treat when my sister and I could convince my mom to let my grandmother give us one! (I guess my mom ran a pretty tight ship, lol.)...
