It’s time for a guest post! Today’s recipe for flourless chickpea-based cookies was created by my food blogger friend Brittnay, whose blog The Nut Butter Hub is inspiring and creative. Read her post below and stay tuned for my latest Peanut Butter Cookie recipe which will be posted on her blog in the near future 😉 It may sound kooky and a little bit wrong, but chickpea cookies are delicious! We were a little bit […]

A lot of you know creating raw cheesecakes is one of my greatest pleasures. Case in point: This Strawberry Stunner. Matcha-infused. A holiday favorite. Key Lime with hidden veggies. And a few others in the archives. Creating these cakes seriously gives me life!

On these days, a sweet, frozen, drinkable concoction is about the only snack that satisfies. And thankfully, with a freezer full of fruit, these blended treats come together in a minute or two. Homemade smoothies and shakes satisfy me in the way that a soft-serve cone […]

Today I’m sharing a very special and extremely delicious buckwheat salad that’s worthy of being in your weekly rotation  . . . The number of food bloggers that exist in the black hole we call the internet has grown, and continues to grow, expotentially. And the number of cookbooks? Let’s just say it would be easy to fill a massive library with nothing but cookbooks. I can’t say I mind endlessly browsing through cookbooks, but […]
