Food allergies and desserts just don’t seem to mix, do they? There’s nothing worse than craving a sweet treat, heading into the kitchen, and finding yourself completely at a loss as to what to make. I tried to help you out in the cookie department with Super Healthy Cookies…but I really don’t think there’s such  [Continue reading...]

Spring is finally getting its act together and showing up a little bit more around here. I actually wore flip-flops (!!) this week to run errands, and even braved a walk in just a lightweight long sleeve t-shirt (!!!). Pretty major. A few weeks ago  when we were still in the tumultuous throws of Will  [Continue reading...]

 You guys, I’m pumped. For three reasons. First, just read the title of this post. Do I even need to say more? I’m sharing a recipe for super healthy candy cups that involve decadent chocolate, creamy nut or seed butter, and the richness of coconut oil. So really I don’t think I need to do  [Continue reading...]

Can you feel spring in the air yet? It’s a little slow in coming to some of us northerners (ahem—hurry up, please!), but that doesn’t mean I’m not ready to celebrate the new season.

If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to alleviate my stress, it’s tying on my apron and baking cookies. Measuring the ingredients, stirring the dough, shaping the cookies, and watching them brown to delicious perfection in the oven sets my mind and heart at ease…especially when there is chocolate involved! But sugary cookies laden with empty  [Continue reading...]

Thank you so much for your outpouring of kind words about the loss of Gracie. Reading all of your comments and emails yesterday made the first full day without her easier to face. I’m so grateful! As promised, here are the truffles! Maybe it’s because Gracie joined our family on Valentine’s Day (almost 13 years  [Continue reading...]

Like I mentioned earlier this week, I’m really limiting sweeteners right now on my healing protocol…so I’m eating very few sweets right now. Every 4 or 5 days, if I’m truly feeling deprived (which is rare), I treat myself to something just a little indulgent, like these Honey Almond Chai Wafer Cookies. They’re my take  [Continue reading...]

It’s not often that I get cravings, but earlier this month I found myself hankering for all things chocolate. Cacao nibs and cocoa powder were going on everything! I whipped up this Dreamy & Creamy Chocolate Shake as a low-glycemic afternoon snack one day. It totally hit the spot. This time of year, I keep  [Continue reading...]

So back before Thanksgiving, I was scrolling through Facebook one night and came across a recipe mentioned in a comment thread for an upside-down pear gingerbread cake. I must have had a sweet tooth that night, because it sounded so good to me that I nearly leaped up out of my chair right that second  [Continue reading...]
