Vegan Blueberry Chia Cheesecake Cups
There’s nothing quite like enjoying dessert out of a little, wee cup. If you haven’t tried it, I highly suggest that you do. In fact, I suggest that you do it with everything that you eat. Using a smaller dish for your meals (and snacks) will make all of your portions look larger. You’ll feel…
5 Ingredient Strawberry Fudge Truffles
Valentine’s Day obstacle #1: the box of chocolates. Valentine’s Day obstacle #2: my absolute love for all things truffles. Valentine’s Day obstacle #3: my habit (that I’m working on releasing) of reaching for food to deal with my feelings. Are you feelin’ me on this one?
Vegan Chocolate Pudding (soy-free, nut-free)
I had every intention of coming up with a bunch of Valentine’s Day recipes for you, but wouldn’t you know it, the big day is next week and I’m just getting my head into the Valentine’s Day dairy-free recipes zone. Since getting back from New York last week, I’ve been in a frenzy to finish…
Gluten-free & Vegan Meal Plans
Many of us want to nourish our bodies with healthy, home cooked meals that will make us feel good about ourselves, our bodies and our future. A bunch of you out there are also quite new to the vegan, gluten-free or grain-free eating style or are interested in learning more about it. And I just…
Oil-free Carob Swirl Brownies
These are New Year’s resolution approved brownies. They’re oil-free, chocolate free (for those of you who have given up caffeine in 2013), flourless, under 15 grams of sugar and only 200 calories each. Make a batch and enjoy the fudgy goodness of a traditional brownie without all the added stuff. You’ll stick to your goals,…
3 Ingredient Chocolate Turtles
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…
Vegan + Gluten-free Twix Bars 2.0 (nut-free)
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…
Grain-free Christmas: Butter Tarts and Cinnamon Stars
< 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…
No bake Vegan Cranberry Cheesecake Squares
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…
Apricot Ginger Chia Chews
Cleanse day 5. Oh heck ya. We’ve done a full day of liquids, ate more veggies than we ever thought possible, and resisted cravings left, right and sideways. Nicely done! Make sure to check back over the weekend to view the meal plan for week two of our cleanse. Cravings got you down? You’re not…
