Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Paleo and Vegan)

February 21, 2019 By faith Leave a Comment

These Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats (Vegan) are nutty and sweet with subtle notes of caramel and a hint of vanilla.

I recently found a huge bag of dates tucked into the back of my pantry. I’m not one to waste food if I can help it, and I wanted to find a way to use them. Crumb bars came to mind! Dates make a delicious filling for crumb bars because they’re naturally sweet and have subtle notes of caramel. Plus, dates are packed with fiber and are a good source of vitamins and minerals. Cinnamon is the perfect spice to accentuate the flavor profile and pull everything together in my Gluten Free Date Bars with Almonds and Oats….

Whip up this Low Carb Easy Pancake Muffin Recipe to satisfy your sweet pancake cravings without the carbs!

Pancakes are generally reserved for special mornings in my house. On the other hand, because you can grab them on the go, muffins are perfect for any day. It’s the best of both worlds when your muffins taste like pancakes…and are low carb too! These muffins have a moist, tender crumb and subtly sweet flavor with a hint of maple, thanks to the addition of a little funugreek….

Vanilla Low Carb Chia Pudding with Fresh Blueberry Sauce

Vanilla Low Carb Chia Pudding with Fresh Blueberry Sauce makes a nutritious, delicious meal on the go!

Vanilla pudding is one of those desserts that people seem to be very nostalgic about. Maybe it was a Handi-Snack tucked into your lunchbox or maybe it was a homemade from-scratch family recipe. Or maybe it was those boxes of JELL-O instant vanilla pudding. Whatever the reason, if you have a soft spot for vanilla pudding, you’ll want to try this low carb chia pudding….

February 9, 2017 By faith 1 Comment

These Paleo and Vegan Chocolate Chia Pudding, Pomegranate Banana Nice Cream, and Mango Soft Serve Parfaits for Two feel special enough for breakfast for a special day.

I always see those gorgeous chia pudding/smoothie bowl/banana soft serve parfait-type things on Instagram looking equal parts healthy and gorgeous, dripping with exotic fruit and nuts, and stylishly sporting things like chia or hemp seeds, cacao nibs, and matcha swirls, the way fancy ladies drip gemstones and sport stilettos.

Dang, those parfaits are drop-dead stunning, aren’t they?…

Paleo Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread

January 5, 2017 By faith 1 Comment

Paleo Cranberry Orange Walnut Bread is aromatic with orange and warm spices, and subtly sweet thanks to coconut sugar with a lovely contrasting sweet/tart flavor thanks to fresh cranberries. It’s perfect for breakfast or snack time!

Once the chill of January sets in after the holidays, things can seem a little anticlimactic. Unless you have a tropical vacation planned, there’s not much else to do except hunker down for the winter and make the best of it. I don’t mind too much though; cold evenings are perfect for snuggling up with cozy blankets and mugs of steaming hot chocolate, and cold days are perfect for baking….

April 28, 2016 By faith 1 Comment

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)….

My Favorite Noatmeal (aka Low Carb Oatmeal)

April 21, 2016 By faith 95 Comments

My Favorite Noatmeal (aka Low Carb Oatmeal, which is actually oat-free porridge) is a hearty warm breakfast that can be made on the stovetop or in the microwave for a healthy, quick breakfast that only has 5g net carbs per serving.

Like many of us, I’m a creature of habit who craves routine. I get up, make coffee and a quick breakfast, and get to work early before breaking for my mid-morning workout. Routine keeps us centered, but the downside to this is that I’m prone to falling into eating ruts, particularly with breakfast….

Carrot Cake Snack Cake

This Carrot Cake Snack Cake is healthy enough for breakfast – really! It’s aromatic with warm spices and just sweet enough to satisfy a craving.

Not long ago my mom came to Virginia for a visit. It was during the same month as her birthday and being the traditionalist that I am, cake was in order. Particularly, of the carrot variety, because that’s her favorite….

Caramelized Butternut Squash with Cacao Butter and Coconut

January 7, 2016 By faith 4 Comments

Caramelized Butternut Squash with Cacao Butter and Coconut is sort-of a cross between a winter squash pie (like pumpkin pie) and a crisp or crumble…but without the added starch from the crust or crumble topping. You won’t even miss it!

No one bats an eye when you say pumpkin or sweet potato pie is for dessert…but tell them butternut squash crisp is on the menu and suddenly you’ll get raised eyebrows, quizzical looks, and you’ll hear a combination of skepticism and intrigue in people’s voices as they ask you exactly what it is….
