Happy Fat Tuesday! It's a little weird to have a "healthy" dessert for you on Fat Tuesday of all days. With Fat Tuesday and Valentine's Day this week, I knew I had to bring you a chocolate recipe. And I guess I just can't help myself, I went and made it healthy. So what is it about this ...

Grain-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies {gluten-free, vegan, soy-free}
If you follow my Food I've Made Pinterest board, you know that I recently made a batch of my High Protein Energy balls. I hadn't made them in a while since it'd been so long since I could eat peanuts or tree nuts. They were eaten up so quickly I had to make a second batch a few days later. As I ...
Vegan mint chocolate chip ice cream pie
The dog days of summer are here. Where I live, it's hot. If I close my eyes and walk outside, I could mistakenly think I walked into a sauna. The last thing I want to do is turn on my oven and bake. But I still need dessert. Oh, yes, dessert still needs to be had. My sweet tooth is kind of ...

Gluten & dairy-free pumpkin pie bars
Happy Halloween! We had a fun weekend filled with Halloween festivities. Meghan, as the cutest bumble bee I've ever seen, wore her costume to various events all week. Halloween becomes a week-long event these days! Tim and I had an adult costume party to attend this weekend. As you can ...
Healthy apple peanut butter cookie bites-49 calories each
I wouldn't classify any kind of baking as easy, per se. Baking is a science that's easy to screw up. But when it comes to different types of baking, I'd say that unhealthy baking is infinitely easier than healthy baking. Throw a few sticks of butter, a cup of white sugar, half a cup of brown ...
Crockpot apple cinnamon bread pudding
Remember those crown-shaped princess sandwiches I made for Meghan's birthday party? As you can imagine, they created a lot of leftover bread. There's no way I was going to throw all that leftover bread away, so what's a girl to do? Make one of her favorite desserts--bread pudding! I think ...
Pumpkin spiced white hot chocolate
This warm drink combines two of my favorite flavors: pumpkin spices and chocolate. Really, you can't go wrong here. Even though fall doesn't officially start until September 23rd, it was here the moment I took a drink of this spicy, comforting hot chocolate drink. When I saw this picture of a ...
Maple Cinnamon Soft Serve with Cinnamon Raisin Cookie Dough
I've told you that my pregnancy cravings have been for salty, spicy, savory foods. That doesn't mean I never crave anything sweet, but nothing beyond my normal need for sweet treats. When I was pregnant with Meghan, it was a totally different story. I wanted something sweet all the time. I ...
A Healthier Birthday Cake
Guess whose birthday is just under a month away? Hard to believe, but this little girl is turning 3. Last year, after two major healthy-cake failures, at the last minute I caved in and made a boxed cake for her birthday. I was out of time and desperate. When I looked at the ingredients on ...
Carrot Cake Smoothie
Things That Make Me Happy: 1. Checking tasks off of my to-do list. 2. A clean house. 3. When I have to wake Meghan up from her nap and she's still so sleepy she lets me rock her. 4. New clothes. 5. Finding fun home decorating ideas on Pinterest. (Can you say obsessed?) 6. ...
