Let’s carry the flavors of the holidays into the New Year because a) COVID times and b) healthy chocolate peppermint cookies should be a year-long thing! Made with unrefined ingredients, and plenty of chocolate, these brownie meets cookie meets hot cocoa treats are an indulgent homemade treat during the Christmas season and beyond! I must say, staring out into the icy snow, there’s nothing better than a homemade Peppermint Hot Chocolate Sandwich Cookie + Mug […]

It’s not every day a gluten free, vegan “custard” based pie turns out to be the most creamy, luscious, perfectly-textured slice of heaven, but my baking fairy godmother was surely looking over me while creating this amazing Creamy Pumpkin Pie! It’s challenging enough to make an egg-based pie not too gummy, overcooked, undercooked, or watery, but plant-based versions have their own set of challenges because tapioca and other starches can often create a “glue” texture […]

But do we really need an excuse to indulge in a sweet, yet healthy homemade brunch? I think not . . . .

There’s no shortage of pumpkin recipes on the blog, however, nothing quite like these Soft Paleo Pumpkin Cookies!

Also important: they’re healthy enough for breakfast, or anytime snacking 😉 They only take about 10 minutes to make the easy-peasy dough, and then just 10-12 minutes to bake. A lot faster than pie!!! They’re delish warm, chilled, & […]

TBH, I still love frozen creamy things even when it’s cold outside. So I trade my soft serve and frozen berry/stone fruit desserts for Fall-spiced frozen perfection like this SWEET POTATO PIE SMOOTHIE BOWL 🙌 It’s got the comfort of Thanksgiving desserts but the benefits of some super healthy ingredients.You’d never guess it’s full of fruits, veggies, and adaptogens! Make it for breakfast, lunch, a satiating afternoon treat, or dessert! And it’s fun to blend, […]

Something about October and leaves falling from trees makes me crave a sweet potato every day! It’s seriously one of the most nourishing foods and there’s plenty of fun ways to eat them so I never get bored. From baked, to diced and roasted, to steamed whole and doused in cinnamon. And there are endless flavors and toppings that pair well with the sweet flavor and comforting starchy texture. My go-to is to throw them […]
