WHO ELSE LOVES A BOWL OF COMFORTING CREAMY PASTA FOR DINNER?? On a different note, who doesn’t love drinking green juice? Well, let me tell ya – green juice is a lot more delicious when it’s incorporated into a dreamy pasta dish 😉 I know it’s quite an unconventional pairing, but I easily get bored with basic sauces (looking at you, marinara) and I hate pasta that is drowned in heavy sugary/oily sauce! So I […]

My goal with this Berry Crisp Ice Cream Pie was to capture all my favorite desserts into one delectable no-bake treat. At the first sign of warm temps and sunshine this Spring, I prepared my ice cream machine, stocked up on berries + ordered my favorite small-batch Paleo granola perfect for all the no-bake cookie crust/crumbles/bites I’m dreaming up for the coming months.   (Fun Fact: June is Paleo Month!)

(Anyone else have extremely fond memories of eating cinnamon toast on white sandwich bread?!) And when you have a bunch of bananas staring at you on the counter, you […]

Nothing compares to a warm, gooey homemade cookie – ima right?? It’s one of those nostalgic experiences that instantaneously brings us bliss =) And if you’re anything like me a sad, disappointing cookie (lacking flavor and textural contrast) is a fine way to ruin that beloved cookie experience! That’s why I worked long and hard to create a healthier cookie that still checks all the boxes for being delish!!!  A few key ingredients for a […]
