Especially with summer just around the corner, sometimes, that barbecue flavor just CALLS…but lucky for us, there are healthier and kinder alternatives to chicken…and no, I’m not even talking about fake meat here (although you’re welcome to go that route!) I’m talking about the type of alternative that’s not only […]

I have a confession…I have a mega sweet tooth. BUT, I don’t really eat a lot of sweets. I do bake a lot of sweets, usually for events, friends, and family, but the type of sweets I generally indulge are those which are made of fruit…like this one! “What? I came here […]
These superfood energy balls (think no-bake healthy cookies!) have just a handful of ingredients, are quick and easy to make, and give us an excuse to eat more superfoods! Oil-free, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low-fat, refined sugar free, soy free…I think we got all the “frees” with this one 😀 I […]
Whole -food plant-based, oil-free, packed with 3 superfoods, vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, low fat, refined sugar free…these balls have it all! And to top that off, they also look pretty cool, if we do say so ourselves 😀 These are amazing in the morning when you’re running late and need something […]
No-bake cookies are fun and rewarding because they’re so easy! The dough is edible (and who doesn’t like eating cookie dough?), there’s no waiting for baking, and of course no oven preheating or accidental finger burning from touching hot pans 😛 These little guys are nut-free, using sunflower butter as […]
This is hands down the BEST guacamole ever. Every time I bring this to a party, the entire thing disappears…and quickly! Someone inevitably asks for the recipe by the end of the night. The recipe is fairly simple. The key to getting this right, though, is getting the best ingredients, […]
Dates are amazing. They’re a great whole foods replacement for sugar in many whole food recipes, specifically dessert recipes. I have (had) a sizable box of dates and often make something similar to this when I do…so I’m finally sharing one of these date ball recipes with you! These are […]
You know fall is coming…the air is getting a bit chillier, the colors are getting warmer and rosier everywhere you look, and classic treats like those involving salted caramel are everywhere… Well, we’ve got our own version of that! These bars are cute and delightful…but they’re so rich and delicious […]
Banana ice cream has got to be my single favorite thing to do with the seemingly millions of bananas I tend to acquire. For example, yesterday, I filled an entire reusable shopping bag with them since the grocery store was selling the “overripe” ones at half price. “Overripe” bananas are […]
Let me just start by saying…kale chips have seriously changed my life! If you need to get more greens in your diet, and you’ve tried salads, tried green smoothies…kale chips just might be the way to go. They certainly were for me! I make them all the time and have […]
This raw vegan granola is fruity and nutty, carrying through the full flavors because they’re kept in the raw. This recipe is both raw & vegan, and although I have seen some super complicated raw granola recipes, this is NOT one of them. You’ll find that this recipe is super […]
I’ve always loved applesauce, from childhood onward, and I still love applesauce–only now, I make it a bit differently. Sparing the stovetop in this unique applesauce recipe make it not only retain more vitamin C and fiber but also gives it a fresh flavor that mostly gets lost when making […]
