These nutrient-dense, caffeinated Pick-Me-Up Chewy Apricot-Almond Bars are perfect for snacking on when you need a natural burst of energy.
I’m not usually a big snacker, but some days I just need a little something after a long workout or to carry me through from lunch to dinner. These are the perfect thing to keep on hand for healthy snacking….
Blueberry Almond Streusel Bars whip up in 45 minutes for a beautiful paleo brunch or dessert.
I’m not normally one to celebrate things like National Chocolate Cake Day, National Pickle Day, or National Hug Your Cat Day (well, really, I *try* to hug my cat every day, and I say try because normally she lets me know in no uncertain terms that she just isn’t the touchy/feely type…but anyway)….
Avocado replaces butter or oil in this loaf cake that’s moist, dense, and aromatic with almond.

This little pie was worth it….
Mike has always been somewhat of a social butterfly, but when the weather starts to warm up he is even more so….
I always like to have a healthy candy alternative on hand for Easter and Halloween so I don’t give in to the junk food/sugar high that’s all around….
Homemade granola is one of my favorite weekday morning breakfasts that always feels like a treat.
No matter what kind of granola you make, homemade is so much better than anything you can buy at the store, plus, it’s the sort of thing that you just feel healthy eating….
