3-4 ingredients DIY plant-based protein bars featuring my favorite small-batch Paleo granola! Disclosure: I have eaten a disturbing amount of Go Macro and Rx Bars the past few years. And I am grateful to have nourishing on-the-go options created my passionate small business owners. That being said, when I have the time and ingredients to make my own – I prefer to go that route. One of my 2020 intentions is to produce less waste […]

Horacio NEVER cooks or bakes with me! That is – until he heard me say I needed to make a batch of granola because we were down to less than a bag (oh, the panic!)

My favorite cookie, in banana bread form! If you read my last post, you know my enthusiasm for the perfectly textured snickerdoodle.  Since I’m such a fan of cinnamon sugar, I’m always dreaming up ways to add that nostalgic flavor to other baked goods and pastries.

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 […]

It’s been a while since I posted a grain-free recipe and I knew I wanted it to involve chocolate and fluffy cake. I decided on a chocolate chip cookie and cake donut mash-up with the addition of my favorite floral flavor – lavender!  We all love a nostalgic Chocolate Chip Cookie and fresh donuts are equally irresistible so let’s enjoy the best of both! I used nutrient rich ingredients and sweetened with applesauce and stevia […]

After lots of love on Instagram and Facebook I am finally sharing the official recipe for this healthyish yet super decadent tiramisu torte! Confession: Although I love the flavors of tiramisu I dislike how the texture and layers become very “muddy” and become one homogenous mess despite all the work that goes into each component. So I dreamt up this torte with more firm and distinct layers that also cuts and photographs so well! Each […]
