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! And improves my mood times a million =) I consider cheesecake blending/testing my emotional equivalent to coconut oil as fix-all to skin problems. That’s a big statement, I know! My coconut butter and oil, […]

Hi! Hey! Have a told you . . . That I really hate . . . CARROTS! Yes, really. Unless they are really really tiny and hidden in soup or bolognese, get away from me!!! And I especially hate them raw.

Homemade smoothies and shakes satisfy me in the way that a soft-serve cone […]

CINNAMON ROLLS!!!! Who else loves them?! I have the fondest memories of sweet cinnamon-laced yeasty bread covered in sticky icing. I think it’s how my love affair with cinnamon began. To this day, I still can’t turn down a big gooey cinnamon roll. However, the after-effects aren’t as heavenly the delicious taste. <– Sugar crash alert!!! Even though I have dreamed up plenty of ideas of creating a healthy, plant-based version, I’m lazier and more […]

My new Vitamix Ascent 2500 has taken some getting used to. Those who know me well know that I am a creature of habit. I often avoid new opportunities, new schedules, new people, and ahhh . . . new blenders? Although I am still wishing for my old trusty original Vitamix at times, I can confidently say that the Ascent is AMAZING for blending whole grains into flour. This may seem like a strange thing […]
