5 Ingredient Chewy Vanilla Coconut Cookies
There’s nothing like waking up in a foreign country and knowing that there’s a little something hidden away in your hotel room that will make the world of difference to your stay. I’m not talking about extra sunblock, a fancy sundress, or the tens of tiny bottles of rum from the mini bar. I’m talkin’…
Coconut Almond Bark (no sugar added)
I wish I would have come up with this recipe sooner. Like 3 years sooner. If you like coconut, you’re going to LOVE this bark. If you don’t like coconut, I suggest you make a batch of chai spice roasted almonds and forget this post ever existed. Sure, you could make these for people as…
Paleo Chocolate Fudge + Vanilla Bean Mug Cakes
Have I mentioned how much I love Pinterest? I think my life has become more creative as a result of spending at least 20 minutes a day on the site. I have my eye on fork magnets, flower eggs, and perhaps a bit too many wedding ideas for a girl who’s not even engaged… yet. But…
Pumpkin Gingersnap Chia Breakfast Parfaits
Pictures like this make me miss home, and my kitchen. There’s something to be said for being able to mosey on down to your kitchen and create whatever tickles your fancy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m having a great time in London; there are so many amazing shops, great energy, and tasty food to be…
Baked Maple Peach Acorn Squash Dessert
One of the lessons I’ve learned from tracking my daily eats in my food journal, is that my body responds really well to squashes. Every time I eat them I feel energized, satiated, and if done up right, they satisfy my sweet tooth, too! I’ve been trying to introduce myself to a new type of…
Gluten-free + Vegan Gingersnap Cookies
I loved the idea of gifting my homemade cake stands to friends and families for the holidays. (Thanks everyone!) Thing is – you can’t really give a cake stand to someone without having treats on it, especially if they know that you love to bake. So I tried to figure out what seasonal recipe I…
Grain-free Carrot Cupcakes with Dairy-free ‘Cream cheese’ Buttercream
Every couple of months there’s a recipe that; no matter how many times I try, just won’t work out. I have a really hard time giving up on things and have a very strong desire to reach for my dreams, no matter how ridiculous they may be. Who dreams of making the perfect grain-free cupcake?…
5 Ingredient Jam-packed Protein Cakes
One of my biggest frustrations over the past couple of months has been my inability to build muscle. I changed up my workouts, tried out new activities, nothing was helping. As part of my shifting and staying motivated project, I decided to take a long hard look at my diet to see if there were areas…
Frozen “Boo”nana Pops (no sugar added)
It’s rare that I come across a recipe that I want to make SO badly that I literally run down to the kitchen to prepare it on the spot. The last time it happened was when I’d found Averie’s Blueberry Banana Oat Cakes. Just a couple of substitutions and it quickly morphed into what is…
Low Fat Vegan Maple Flax Cookies
Kevin and I decided to take it easy this past weekend. He’s been traveling so much for work that it was the first weekend in over 2 months that we’ve been able to just hang out. What relaxing activities did we do? We sat on the couch and caught up on our favorite shows! Many…
