4 Ingredient Itty Bitty Strawberry Coconut Tarts

I’m constantly wracking my brain over what treats I can make that Kevin will actually like. He’s a simple guy. No dried fruit, no bananas, and definitely no lentils or crazy spices!

Candy Apple Macaroons + Sugar Reduced Journey

Oil-free Blueberry Streusel Scones

Lately I’ve been playing with rice, chickpea, sorghum, and buckwheat flours, something I would have never had the courage to do until a couple of weeks ago. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since beginning HP it’s that you just need to dig in and test ingredients until you get it right! Each flour is…

I had to pick up a couple of groceries on the way home last night. As I was pulling up to the store there was a sign that said bison steak $5.99/lb. If you know me, you know I LOVE bison. So it should come as no surprise that the minute I stepped foot in…
