Paleo-friendly Baked Chocolate Custard Tarts feature a smooth and dense chocolate filling with a nutty crust.
When there’s a single lonely avocado that’s about to be on its last legs in the fridge, guacamole is typically on the menu. But then there are those times when I get creative and dream up chocolate indulgences to make a little healthier with avocado (like my Fudgy Blueberry-Orange Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Avocado Ganache and 5-Minute Classic Chocolate Avocado Mousse)….
30-Minute Strawberry Balsamic Vanilla Chia Seed Jam is a healthier take on a classic favorite jam. It’s basically strawberry chia pudding, so not only is it perfect for topping toast with, but feel free to dig right in with a spoon!
Every year when strawberry season rolls around I go a little hog wild, especially if I’m picking my own. There’s some kind of primal instinct that kicks in when I go into a strawberry field with nothing but an empty container. Every single time I end up coming out with way more than intended or needed. But I could do a lot worse than too many strawberries, lol….
Cherry Vanilla Energy Bites are a delicious and energizing mid-morning or early-afternoon snack.
We all have a favorite snack that we reach for over and over again when hunger strikes between meals. I like to pair protein and healthy fat for longer-lasting satisfaction, and sometimes I just need a sweet treat….
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?…
Low-Carb Paleo Almond Butter Chocolate Bars is a delicious take on real-food candy with just 2 g net carbs per serving!
Now that we’re finally past the mid-way point of January, spring is basically right around the corner (at least that’s what I’m telling myself!). Admittedly, we still have quite a way to go, but at least one of the coldest months is mostly behind us….
Cranberry Orange Bread with Walnuts is aromatic with orange and warm spices, and subtly sweet 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….
This homemade Low-Carb Chocolate Peppermint Candy is a healthy take on one of my favorite wintertime treats: Peppermint Patties! Full of healthy, real-food ingredients, I think these are 100 times better…and each piece of candy has just 3.5 grams of net carbs! (These candies are basically what is known as a “fat bomb” in the low-carb high-fat/keto world!)
Aaaaand, just like that, it’s candy season once again. (Because apparently Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and Easter are just not enough, lol.) But Christmas candy is some of my favorite candy (hello, fudge, caramel pecan turtles, and candy canes! s), and I’m always up for the challenge of remaking treats with a healthy spin….
These deeply chocolaty, fudgy-textured Vegan No-Bake Chocolate Brownie Bite Truffles are a great healthy treat to have on hand to keep you focused on clean eating without feeling deprived.
This time of year, magazines inundate us with ideas on how to eat clean and make healthier choices throughout the holiday season. Ideas like eating dinner and then heading out to an evening party where there’ll be a dinner buffet, or eating a main course off of a smaller appetizer-sized plate. Or carrying a glass of water in one hand throughout the duration of a party so it’s harder to eat food….
Hot Buttered Roasted Pears with Vanilla and Black Pepper is a simple way to dress up pears and let their delicate flavor shine.
I think I say this every season (hello, summer cherries), but fall is one of my favorite seasons for fruit. Apples, pears, and pomegranate are reason enough for me to put fall at the top of my list….
Try a Hot Butterbeer Latte for One (inspired by Harry Potter!) when you want a fun fall-inspired hot coffee drink that isn’t a pumpkin spice latte.
Now, let me preface this by saying that I am a firm believer that there is a time and a place for a PSL, namely, nearly every day from October through November, and in my belly. But like the saying goes, variety is the spice of life and that’s where this fun little number comes in….
Hello and welcome! I'm Faith and I believe you can have your cake and eat it too. For breakfast.
