Oil-free Sweet Potato Fudge Cake (no sugar!)
A vegan and gluten-free healthy fudge cake recipe made without oil or sugar. It’s moist, dense, and can be frosted! Oil-free recipes. I’ve been making lots of them. Not because I endorse a fat-free diet. Oil-free and fat-free are not the same. Healthy fats – avocado, nuts, seeds, oils, butters, olives, fish are GREAT. Dietary…
Lemon Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
Celebration is a beautiful thing. Celebration is a surrender to what is; a wholehearted appreciation for the present moment. Celebrating our lives, our bodies, our circumstances, our food, our allergies; everything that has led us up to this point, is our choice.
Chocolate Muffins (gluten-free + grain-free)
Kevin’s Mom, Renee, was here visiting for a 2 week stint before she made her way to Germany to visit Kevin’s sister. During Renee’s time here, we got to celebrate her birthday. Instead of getting her a gift that she’d have to lug around with her on her trip, Kevin and I made a batch…

5 Minute Blueberry Quinoa Flake Bake with Lemon Cream
There are berries everywhere here in Montreal! The strawberries are tiny and juicy, the raspberries aren’t too tart, and the blueberries have such an amazing flavor! If there’s one thing I don’t miss about living in Alberta, it’s the lack of fresh, flavorful produce. Plus, I could buy a couple of pints of blueberries and…
Grain-free Chocolate Caramel Cannoli Cake with Cara’s Cravings
These last couple of days have been nourishing, relaxing and full of balance, a nice change from the stress and anxiety that was rocking our lives as we prepared for the move. All of our things were loaded onto the moving truck successfully, our visit with my parents has been fabulous, I’ve had time to…
5 Minute Banana Chocolate Chip Quinoa Flake Bake
It’s baaaaack…. The breakfast that I was head over heals in love with last summer is making a major come back. Quinoa flake bakes are the king of all quinoa flake recipes. They’re a breakfast cake, a protein monster, can be made vegan, are loaded with fiber, and contribute over 15% of your RDA of…

I try to supplement my chocolate cravings in creative ways that help me avoid succumbing to sitting on the floor of the pantry with my arms elbow deep in a family-sized chocolate chip bag. While sometimes I end up turning to the dark side, other times I surprise myself and come up with a creative…
