Chocolate Avocado Pudding

This is something my kids love to see in their lunch boxes and I feel so good about putting it in! Bananas, Avocados, Almond Milk, Cacao Powder, and Dates come together in minutes for a delightful little lunch box dessert.

Butternut Squash Smoothie

I never thought I would wish for the day that Celine would just eat a PB & J – or that i could just feed my kids cereal for dinner- but i do. I so do ((#greatmom)). When it comes to school lunch, I always include some veggies, (carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, avocado, peas), whetherRead more

Power Cookie Balls

These cookie doughs are sweet, sticky, yummy, balls of heaven! Oats, maple syrup, almond butter, and chocolate chips are such a simple but winning combination that every human in your family will love.

Game Changing Chocolate

Call me Granny. It’s 8:23 and I’m in bed. This could be really bad for my social life. (ha-my social life.) Anyway, Celine turned one! Hip Hip! We had an ‘Under the Sea’ party for her and boy, did she love it!  Initially she was a little bewildered by all of the people, lanterns, blue and yellowRead more

Healthy Candy Bars

Candy Bars. Oh, what a special place they hold in my heart. They remind me of Halloween, minus the part that included dressing up in a less than original costume (a snowboarder) and freezing my bum off trying to trick or treat. These are sweet, salty, chewy, and chocolate-y. They’re a must.  Though they’re healthy, they’re still prettyRead more

Chocolate Avocado Mousse

Note: This post and recipe have been updated. Click here to view the new recipe.   Two weeks ago, my sugar/chocolate addiction pushed it’s limits. I had to get rid of it and since going ‘cold turkey’ has never been an effective measure to get off something ‘for good’, I knew I had to ‘add in’Read more

Almond Joy Granola Bars

1. I got 8 hours of sleep last night. 8!! My nugget actually slept through the night and I just can’t believe it. Life is just full of wonder isn’t it? 2. Sometimes I do the ‘dumb thing’ and think about the past. I’ve deemed this dumb, silly, and quite honestly ‘stupid’ because it causes me toRead more

Black Bean Brownies

This is how you enjoy brownies on a diet. Excuse me, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Made with black beans, coconut sugar, and flax seeds, they’re completely vegan and guilt free.

Raw Cacao Truffles

On my last birthday I was sick, sleepy, and pregnant. A true winning combo for an exciting birthday. I didn’t mind considering, for me, a good birthday is spent by eating good food, my favorite Apple Cake (thanks mom), and spending it with my family. We were pretty tame and decided to get tickets toRead more

Vanilla Almond Milk

This is my version of Pressed Juicery’s delicious Almond Milk. It’s so tasty I somtimes have it for dessert or for a very sweet snack in the afternoon. Dates, vanilla, sea salt, and homemade Almond Milk make this smoothie.
