My Dad’s love for the caramel filled, pecan bottom, chocolate covered treat, otherwise known as the Nestlé Turtle, runs deep. Not as deep as his love for jujubes, but pretty close. It’s tradition that Dad get a box of Turtles every single Christmas. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Even…
Christmas is just around the corner and my mind has been filled with appetizer ideas for the big day. Preparing the appetizer table has to be one of my favorite parts about entertaining. I like coming up with unique recipes that will entice people to try new things but be healthy enough for them to…
I have a weak spot for DIY chocolate bars. Given the popularity of the no bake homemade Twix bars I made for Halloween, I’d say that you all do too! The no bake version was made with a no bake cookie base, sunflower butter and medjool date caramel and allergen-free chocolate, but wasn’t safe for…
I know what you’re thinking… ‘Brussels sprouts? Why would you waste a perfectly good post on Brussels sprouts?’ That’s a fair question. I don’t really like them either. That is unless they’re prepared using the recipe below or added to a grain-free veggie bowl like I did here. Maybe it’s all the roasted garlic, the…
I’m a Rocky Mountains girl through and through. The peaks draw me in with their magic, captivate me with their beauty and pull on my heart strings. I feel more at home in the shadow of a mountain than I do anywhere else in the world. When it came to decide where Mom, Dad, Christina…
< I love hearing Kevin talk about his childhood in Germany, especially the memories he has of Christmas. The traditions his family created during the holidays are so different from my own. The Christmas markets that one could visit for hours, visits from Christkind, children being kept from seeing the Christmas tree until the very…
We made vegan cream cheese and now we’re going to do something awesome with it. Are you ready? It’s one of my favorite dairy-free recipes to date! You’re going to start by making a walnut-based crust. It’s just four ingredients, none of which are dried fruit. As much as I love the no bake crusts…
A dairy-free cream cheese recipe that’s great on your ketogenic diet if you’re dairy-free and wanting the dairy feel. Serve with your favorite low-carb vegetables, boost your fat intake on your ketogenic diet, or smother overtop homemade ketogenic crackers. We’re making cream cheese! And, it’s fabulous if you’re doing keto without the dairy. Eating keto…
Whoop, it’s the last day of the month! I thought this day would never come. Really, I didn’t. After this evening’s hot yin class at Moksha Yoga NDG I will have completed 60 straight days of yoga. Wow, even writing that boggles my mind. I feel like I’ve gone through a meat grinder and been…
I ate this for breakfast yesterday morning, had it again for lunch… and can just about guarantee that I’ll be enjoying it again today. It’s just that good. Now I know what you’re thinking, ‘dairy-free butter chicken? It has to taste off.’ It doesn’t. I had my fair share of authentic butter chicken while I…
