  • RECIPE: Spicy Chickpea & Kale Salad

    This Chickpea & Kale Salad is similar to your standard chickpea mash, but with a little spice and greens thrown in. It’s creamy, full of flavor, and easily customizable! Pair it with some celery + carrot sticks for a quick snack or turn it into a main meal as a big salad or sandwich.  I…

  • RECIPE: Oil-Free Protein Pancakes

    Hello, friends! It’s been a LONG time, but I’m back and I owe you some recipes! I’d love to hear how you’re all doing, so leave me a comment below telling me a bit about your summer so far! I can’t believe we’re nearing the end of July…the days are flying by. Is this really…

  • My Fully Raw Week and What I Ate

    In an effort to reset my system and heal my body of any damage from the emotional eating these last few months, I chose to do a week of fully raw. No cooked foods, no oil, only fruit-sweetened, and consumed as much fresh fruit and veggies as my body craved. Things have been stressful and…

  • Blender Vanilla Cake with Coconut-Raspberry Frosting

      I have never worked so hard on a recipe before and quite frankly, I hope I don’t have to for a while! Lots of frustration and tears shed, but I was SO determined to create the cake that Willow requested for her birthday. There came a point when I was close to throwing in…

  • REVIEW: March Favorites

    Happy April, my friends!! I hope everyone is having a lovely Spring so far. We’re counting down the days to Willow’s 4th birthday and I’m wondering where in the world the time has gone?! Speaking of Willow, she’s become obsessed with taking photos and managed to fill an entire memory card! I’m making my way…

  • RECIPE: Chocolate Muffins

    Funny story about these muffins – I created this recipe months ago, but when I went to type up the blog post, my notes got all jumbled together and I couldn’t figure out which trial was the one. I stared at four separate pieces of paper with jotted measurements and couldn’t figure it out! I was…

  • RECIPE: Red Velvet Mini Donuts

      I love when recipes get created spontaneously and unexpectedly. Willow has been on a HUGE pink kick…I’m talking smoothies, clothes, and coloring everything pink. My favorite is when she drew a picture of our family and gave Josh pink hair. Last week she asked for pink donuts and at first I thought, “how in…

  • RECIPE: Nutty Cookie Bars

    If you open our refrigerator, you’re bound to find jars filled with just about every variety of nut (and seed). Not only are they packed with protein, but they also make excellent milks, cheeses, desserts and much more. I was experimenting with a new cookie recipe and was feeling a bit lazy…rather than taking the…

  • RECIPE: Rich, Creamy (Vegan) Hot Cocoa

    After a day of sledding or snow fort building, there was nothing better than warming up to a mug of cocoa. For me, every time I sip on hot cocoa, I’m flooded with childhood memories of playing out in the snow and cold with my brother – and we’d come inside to hot cocoa with…

  • RECIPE: Triple Chocolate Peppermint Brownies

      When my friend Angela, over at Canned Time, invited me to be a part of the Family Favorites Dessert series, I was over the moon and excited for my chance to try NuNaturals Stevia products. So, thank you, Angela, for the opportunity and challenge. I knew that my dessert had to be something super…
