Sometimes cookies just look and taste better (and feel fancier!) in bar/blondie form! It also means less time scooping and standing over the oven, so it’s a minimalist’s dream! 😉 Speaking of a damn good blondie, I’ve managed to perfect an oil-free version thanks to the magical combo of sweet potato and nut butter! And it’s easily GF and vegan courtesy of Chelsea Approved cookie mix! The texture is amazing along with the fiber content […]

Trade your morning oatmeal for this nourishing yet indulgent baked version that has the nutrition benefits of buckwheat and oats, yet the flavors of pumpkin and pecan pies!  We love it when something that’s healthy enough to be breakfast tastes like two Fall pie favorites!  Extra delish served with Eat Fronen vanilla ice cream and date syrup (or reserve caramel from the topping!) Make this for a family breakfast, picnic, potluck, or a special dessert […]

There’s no shortage of Tiramisu and Tiramisu-inspired desserts and breakfast treats on social media lately! However, many of them contain eggs, gluten, dairy, etc. or they don’t have the same luscious textures/ratio of cake, cream, coffee and cocoa that’s characteristic of a true Italian Tiramisu.

However, a healthier version of a fried cinnamon sugar coated confection like a churro is not something you see everyday, and certainly not a task I embarked on up to this point. Highly processed vegetable oils, gluten, eggs and dairy are ingredients that […]

A fresh bakery-style blueberry muffin with a giant streusel or sugar top, served warm is one of the best sweet indulgences! But finding one that isn’t full of gluten and dairy is the quite the feat! And TBH, I haven’t quite mastered the perfect flour combo for achieving the perfect muffin texture sans gluten in my trials thus far!  Enter: Chelsea Approved Banana Bread Mix! And although this mix does make an epic banana bread, […]

I love to celebrate summer with food and I can’t think of anything that captures summer energy more than a fresh fruit pizza with a rainbow of seasonal stone fruit + berries! Less labor intensive than cake, and just as impressive this dessert is a perfect option for serving at barbecues, pool parties, birthdays, or a simple weekend at home. A great way to get a friend, partner or kids involved, because the decorating options […]
