Chai Tea. Warm Spices, Pumpkin Puree. You can’t get any more “Autumn” than these dreamy Pumpkin Chai Blondies. This is the kind of dessert I think about all day long. I’m always ready to cozy up with a warm pumpkin dessert and hot cup of tea during chilly weather and when that dessert is homemade, oil free, and exceptionally delicious . . . I call it BLISS. Bake these for a Fall party, for a […]
Switching up our hummus today friends . . . That is, using red lentils instead of the typical chickpeas, and adding delicious flavor from black pepper and orange vitality oils! Let’s do this!

I linked my favorite lentil pasta so you can quickly order from Amazon and have it ready in your pantry for pasta night! Trader Joe’s also makes lentil pasta 😉 I love pasta because it is quick and easy enough for a weeknight but can easily be upgraded to […]

I love variety in my meals and I am always discovering new ways to change things up so that I don’t get bored. Then these pancakes happened. And then they happened again. And again . . . And somehow, I still haven’t gotten bored! Each time I indulge in them I am more impressed than the last. The fluffy, cakey texture reminds me so much of restaurant pancakes – but without the sugar or oil, […]
My Wedding Cake! I made a 2-tier wedding cake free from gluten, dairy, eggs, and refined sugar. The bottom layer was a 2 layer 9” vanilla cake and the top a 3 layer 6” chocolate cake. The vanilla cake is my own recipe: 3 c GF flour – either Namaste, King Arthur, or Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 GF blend (not Bob’s original GF made with chickpea flour!!!) 1 1/2 c almond flour 3/4 c oat […]
