Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos

February 11, 2019 by Faith 3 Comments

The floral flavor of rose is balanced by the earthy sweetness of vanilla and rooibos in this caffeine free Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos.

Normally I’m not a huge fan of floral flavors like rose or lavender, but this Rose Tea Latte with Vanilla Rooibos is surprisingly mellow. The addition of cream helps with that, and the vanilla and rooibos add complexity. It’s a feminine drink with a surprising balance of earthy and floral flavors and creamy texture. You can use a little beet root powder food coloring if you want to make it pink.…

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

October 24, 2016 by Faith 27 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....

Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds {Paleo}

February 22, 2016 by Faith 12 Comments

Paleo Smoky Roasted Garlic Cauliflower “Rice” with Toasted Almonds is a delicious grain-free side dish that comes together easily and pairs well with any number of things. My husband is a real meat and potatoes man; and when I say meat, anything will do except pork (which we don’t eat), and by potatoes I mean starch of any kind (usually some form of pasta, bread, rice, or potatoes). You can imagine my surprise when he told me earlier this year that he wanted to cut way back on starchy foods as well as sugar! I was as happy as a lark, armed with low-carb versions […]...

Red Lentil Bolognese

March 27, 2015 by Faith 8 Comments

This dish is a little nostalgic for me, but not in the way you’d expect. Other than being a darn tasty meal, it has no personal significance aside from the fact that it’s the last recipe I have that hasn’t been shared on my blog yet that I made and photographed while Mike and I were still living in Kuwait. (We left there last summer, so that shows you how long I’ve had this recipe in my queue!)...

Hearty Garlic and Herb Mushroom Stew {Paleo and Vegan-Friendly}

Even though I don’t usually share their sentiments, I can at least understand how some veggies fall into the “eww” category for some people…...

Low-Carb Herbed Cauliflower “Rice” with Pine Nuts {Paleo}

December 11, 2014 by Faith 8 Comments

I know, I know… ‘Tis the season for festive foods…and festive typically leans more toward the side of indulgent descriptions like gooey, buttery, or chocolatey. So what’s the deal with this low-carb dish?...

Pina Colada Smoothie {Frozen Treat Week}

July 26, 2013 by Faith 35 Comments

The final treat Im sharing in honor of Frozen Treat Week is a real doozy. In keeping with the other two healthy treats Ive shared for this event (3-Minute Easy Cherry-Chocolate Sorbet and Almost-Instant Healthy Mint Chocolate Chip Soft Serve), todays treat is equally healthy. And every bit as delicious. Im not even kidding when I say that last summer I dont think I touched a carton of ice cream once because of this smoothie. And thats not to say that I didnt crave ice cream....

Smoky Lentils with Pomegranate + Mint

May 22, 2013 by Faith 14 Comments

In law school I had a friend who claimed that he had a real archenemy, superhero-style. As in, Batman vs. The Joker or Superman vs. Lex Luther. And he was serious. He said they’d glower at each other every time they had the misfortune of crossing each other’s path, each secretly plotting and scheming terrible things against the other. Not so much violent things, more like things to mind-manipulate or humiliate each other. Bizarre? Maybe. But I’ll admit that law school tends to foster a little bit of bizarre the way a hot day fosters the desire for a cold beverage. Perhaps par for the […]...

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 Peanut Butter, Banana, and Honey Milkshake

February 18, 2013 by Faith 39 Comments

One of my favorite family traditions is every winter we snowbird down to Florida for a couple weeks of vacation. We are Disney fanatics, the whole lot of us (well, maybe aside from Mike, who claims that he goes for my sake…but when we’re there he seems to be enjoying the food and merriment for his own sake as well, lol), so the bulk of our time gets spent there. (Last year I posted about the afternoon tea we had at The Grand Floridian.) We have a few favorite places where we always eat in each Disney theme park; at Hollywood Studios one of our […]...
