Paleo Cinnamon Raisin Noatmeal Cookies

June 7, 2018 By faith 3 Comments

Paleo Cinnamon Raisin Noatmeal Cookies are cinnamon-spiced with rich buttery, nutty flavor, soft and chewy texture (thanks to shredded coconut), and bursts of sweet raisins.

There’s something about oatmeal cookies that makes them the ultimate comfort food. They’re soft and chewy thanks to oats and raisins, laced with cinnamon, and often with a little nutty crunch in the form of walnuts. For those of us living a paleo lifestyle, these noatmeal cookies are a beautiful substitute. Full of nourishing ingredients like grass-fed butter, coconut, and almond, they are a surprisingly good replica of regular oatmeal cookies (the coconut is what gives them their chewy factor!)….

No-Added-Sugar Vanilla Bean Chia Pudding with Easy Cherry Sauce

May 24, 2018 By faith Leave a Comment

No-Added-Sugar Vanilla Bean Chia Pudding with Easy Cherry Sauce combines creamy vanilla pudding with sweet, intense cherry sauce; it’s an irresistible combination!

Chia pudding revolutionizes the making of pudding! Gone are the days when you have to stand over a hot stovetop, stirring your heart out. Chia pudding makes itself; all you do is combine chia seeds and liquid and stash it in the fridge overnight.

Also gone is the time when pudding was full of unpronounceable non-food “foods”, like what you’d find in the store-bought pudding mixes. Making chia pudding at home lets you use wholesome, nourishing ingredients.

And lastly, having pudding equate to something that’s heavy laden with sugar is also a thing of the past. You can sweeten your own homemade version of chia pudding with any healthy sweetener that fits into your lifestyle, like fruit (like mashed banana or pureed dates), stevia, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, etc….

This thick and rich Healthy Paleo-Friendly Snickers Smoothie with chocolate, caramel sauce, and salted peanuts will have you convinced you’re eating ice cream when it’s actually healthy enough for breakfast.

What if I told you it’s easy to transform a banana and just a few other ingredients (which are mostly just fridge and/or pantry staples) into something that tastes like both a milkshake and a candy bar? Welcome to the world of smoothies….

Baked Chocolate Custard Tarts

April 13, 2017 By faith 1 Comment

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)….

January 19, 2017 By faith 5 Comments

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….

Low-Carb Overnight Black Forest Mocha Chia Seed Pudding is an elegant breakfast that’s easy enough for any morning.

I know I’ve been a little cherry-crazy lately, but I hope you’re not all cherried out yet because I have a doozy for you today! There’s nothing like the promise of a fabulous breakfast to get you out of bed in the morning, and knowing that this beauty is waiting in the fridge will do the trick….

June 23, 2016 By faith 6 Comments

These Classic Chocolate Walnut Brownies are deeply chocolaty with flavor notes of coffee and vanilla to satisfy your most intense chocolate cravings!

When I’m in the mood for chocolate, more often than not I reach for a bar (80 to 90% cacao for me, please), but there are times when I’m just in the mood for a really good brownie.

If you’re looking for a great brownie recipe that’s gluten-free and a bit healthier than most, this one is it….

Easy No-Churn Mango Lassi Frozen Yogurt

May 12, 2016 By faith 6 Comments

Easy No-Churn Mango Lassi Frozen Yogurt whips up easily in a high-speed blender for a healthy frozen treat to satisfy your ice cream cravings.

If you read my other blog (An Edible Mosaic), you may already know that I am a sucker for mangos. Alphonso mangos in particular have my heart (a love affair that I picked up while living in Kuwait; my niece and I used to make Mango Soft Serve with them), but they’re next to impossible to find here in DC. I’ve settled for what I consider to be the next best thing, Ataulfo or Champagne mangos, which are also pretty fabulous….

Carrot Cake Snack Cake

April 7, 2016 By faith 2 Comments

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….

Red Velvet Freezer Fudge

February 4, 2016 By faith 3 Comments

Red Velvet Freezer Fudge whips up in just 10 minutes for an indulgent-tasting treat with a healthy secret ingredient: beet!

I made fudge, I told Mike one day as he was just coming home from work. Want to try some?

My grin must have been a little too broad, or he must have seen a devilish gleam in my eye (that only vegetables in dessert can bring out, lol!) because he took one look at me and then at the fudge and declined my offer flat, claiming to “not like fudge”. (Um, weirdo! Lol, kidding.)…
