No Bake Double Layer Brownies

This little gem is the second dessert I took to our Easter family get together this year. I promised I’d post it, and so here it is…in all of its chocolate-y glory! It’s incredibly rich, decadent and satisfying. One for the books for sure! These brownies do not require baking; the ingredients don’t need cooking and… Continue reading No Bake Double Layer Brownies

Mama’s Famous Carrot Cake

My husband and I brought two desserts to our Easter family get together this year. We wanted to give the family somewhat of a dessert option, and since I was the one in charge of bringing dessert, I knew I had to act upon it. 🙂 Some people love chocolate, some don’t really like it. Some… Continue reading Mama’s Famous Carrot Cake

Nutella Strawberry Banana Crepes

Day two of crepe making is here. Hooray! And guys, let me tell you, my crepe-making obsession is only getting stronger. Yikes! 🙂 I’ve been making crepes left and right — to the point where I just leave my crepe pan on the stove permanently (as soon as I wash it, I put it back… Continue reading Nutella Strawberry Banana Crepes

Peanut Butter Honey Granola Crepes

I have been having way too much fun with my new Le Creuset crepe pan. I am obsessed; I can’t (and won’t) stop making crepes. I am in love with the crepe making process, the smell of them while they’re cooking, their texture, their taste, and the endless crepe making possibilities. Crepes not only taste heavenly,… Continue reading Peanut Butter Honey Granola Crepes

Healthy Turkey “Sloppy Joes”

Yesterday was one of those days where motivation oozed out of me. I woke up and felt like an Energizer bunny — I had so much energy that I could not stop moving. It was GREAT. It helped me get breakfast done quickly, get my laundry going, my bed made, and my house cleaned for the day. Even… Continue reading Healthy Turkey “Sloppy Joes”

Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Bread with Sugar Glaze

During this time of the year, the snow is melting (or has melted already), the days are longer, the sun is shining brighter, the weather is getting warmer…and we can actually hear birds chirping outside our windows. Ahh. I LOVE THAT. Warmer weather brings so much hope, so much excitement. Excitement for all that is to… Continue reading Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Bread with Sugar Glaze

Vegan Zucchini Bread

Yesterday was one of my best friend’s birthdays. And naturally, as a good friend would, I baked her a nice little birthday treat! This particular friend of mine is Vegan, so her treat needed to be a Vegan-friendly treat. I didn’t want to make her something too sweet or too heavy; I was thinking it… Continue reading Vegan Zucchini Bread

How To: Make Homemade Almond Milk

I feel like Paleo lifestylers drink a lot of almond milk; I know I do. I use it for my smoothie making, add it to my coffee, and include it on various recipes. Almond milk is just so refreshing and neutral tasting; sometimes one just needs a cold glass of this non-dairy drink to completely… Continue reading How To: Make Homemade Almond Milk

Paleo Triple Chocolate Muffins

Chocolate. A weakness to many…to which I am no exception. It is so indulging, so satisfying, so comforting. This plant-based all-natural delight has played, and continues to play, a very important role in our culinary world. There is so much we can make with chocolate; anywhere from cocoa rubbed ribs to chocolate chip waffles. Chocolate… Continue reading Paleo Triple Chocolate Muffins
