Grain-free Banana Bread Protein Cake
It seems like every time I go to the kitchen to prepare a meal or snack I end up with a bag of garam masala in one hand and a can of lentils in the other. I’m actually shocked that this recipe; prepared for breakfast on Monday, consists of just two spices, none of which…
5 minute Breakfast Cup-cake
Sometimes all I want for breakfast is a bowl of apple sauce drenched in cinnamon and ground flax. I know it sounds gross; and I’m sure you’re already imagining how awful it may look, but it’s slop factor has never stopped me from slurping it up for breakfast on the daily. Placing it’s swamp-esque features…

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Out of all the things I missed while I was in India – hot showers, blankets (it’s too hot to sleep with any but I missed the cuddle factor), and my kitchen, cookies were at the top of the list. Always. If you’re not allergic to gluten, you can find countless biscuits and cookie-like treats…
