Meet my new all-time fave Christmas cookies: These Grain Free Molasses Beauties! If you tried my grain-free snickerdoodles from 2 posts back you’re familiar with this pillowy dough that makes the healthiest and tastes grain free, vegan cookies. For this molasses version, I added molasses and changed up the spices a bit, but the perfect texture remains! Not only is molasses festive in December, it also packs a healthy dose of iron, a mineral many […]

Say helloooo to your new favorite fancy cookie. Crisp, buttery shortbread. Rich, gooey caramel. And salted dark chocolate. We’re really raising our Christmas cookie standards this year! I must say this recipe is a one for true bakers who enjoy the process of seeing a recipe come together. It’s not the quickest. And the ingredient list is longer than average. In other words, it’s the perfect project for a cold winter day when you just […]

So naturally, they’re my go-to […]

And though you are welcome to serve it as a side, I definitely prefer it as a stand-alone meal, given that I could eat the whole batch at once. This dish covers all the bases both nutritionally and in terms of flavor and […]

Squash may be my favorite things about the Fall and Holiday season. So trust me when I say I have tried squash in many, many recipes! And in the sweet realm of things, this delectable breakfast or dessert clearly stands out among the other […]

Banana bread is so . . . classic! And yet this is the first recipe for it that I am posting after over 4 years of blogging! And because I am all about getting creative and updating classics, I couldn’t resist adding a healthy dose of cinnamon and a few splashes of cold brew to the batter 😉 The result is a fluffy, tender, cinnamon-spiked cake with an unexpected (but welcomed!) rich, earthy flavor from […]
