I'm sorry to have back-to-back chocolate recipes coming your way. Okay, I'm not sorry. Is there really such a thing as a food blog with too many chocolate recipes? I don't think so, either. When Meghan asked me for a chocolate popsicle, my mind immediately went to the Fudgsicles of my youth. ...

Homemade tropical spinach fruit roll-ups
I've been on a bit of a healthy snack mission lately. I have a lot of go-to snacks that I make often, but I really wanted to expand my repertoire and come up with some new snacks. Meghan loves fruity snacks, so I thought homemade fruit roll-ups would be a great place to start. I've never been ...
100% whole grain blueberry-lemon muffins
I used to make muffins often, but these days I really don't. While I was eating gluten-free, I just didn't get into trying to perfect the gluten-free muffin. (Although I did try a few versions of this recipe, and it was fabulous.) I guess I just got out of the habit after that. When Meghan ...
Snack attack! Healthy snacks for growing kids
There are times when Meghan will go through a phase of barely eating anything at all. I wonder how she still has boundless energy when she's eating like a bird. The last few weeks, it's been the exact opposite of that. Her appetite is voracious and she eats and eats and eats. I think we've ...
The world’s healthiest brownie {vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free}
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 ...
Roasted butternut squash soup with ginger and lime
Here's the thing with kids. I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen. I want to be with them when they're at the table, painting hearts and learning that markers should not be eaten. Even if I didn't want to, I need to be there for table time activities like this, because Luke will eat those ...
Sunflower veggie wraps {Gluten-free, vegan, soy-free, nut-free}
Last week, I had a gift card to Barnes and Noble and forty five minutes, by myself, to browse the store. I haven't had that luxury in too long. It was heaven. I love bookstores. In addition to making the stack to t0-be-read-books on my night stand even bigger, I also left ...
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 ...
Butternut squash rice bowl
This butternut squash rice bowl is so creamy, so decadent, you will never believe that it's dairy-free. This is one of the most sinful-tasting healthy dinners I've ever had. Not only does this dinner taste fantastic, but it can also be quick and easy, ready in 20 minutes. I say "can be" because ...
40 Fabulous Healthy Fall Recipes
This is the first week that I feel like fall has really arrived. Where I am the leaves are nearing their peak color, the air is cold, and my summer clothes have been put away. I had fun sorting through all my fall recipes for this post. There are so many I won't be able to enjoy this year ...
Homemade sunflower seed butter: a cost comparison and recipe
It was a sad, sad day when I realized Luke had an intolerance to peanuts and tree nuts. Peanut butter and almond butter were staples in my diet and giving them up meant a little less joy in my daily eating. Sunflower seed butter (also known as simply "sun butter") has replaced my ...
End-of-summer vegetable soup
When I woke up Saturday morning to dark clouds and pouring rain, I knew exactly what I was going to make later that day. It was time for soup. I had a myriad of CSA vegetables that I needed to use up, and there is no better way to use up vegetables than throw them in a soup. As the final days ...
