My mom has always loved coconut macaroons. I’ve made many variations on the macaroon and there are tons of recipes out there (years ago I posted this recipe and this one too...they're really old, so don't laugh, because I've come a long way since then!). My mom even makes a version that has almonds in it. When she sent me this recipe and told me it was her easiest version yet, I knew I had to try … [Read more...]
Rocky Road Cookies
When I was growing up, I remember it being really special when my mom bought Rocky Road Ice Cream. I couldn’t believe that there were flavors that had so many things mixed in! Now, Rocky Road is considered child’s play because of all of the wacky and complicated things that can be in your ice cream carton, but for me, it is the classic flavor that ruined just plain old ice cream. Remembering this … [Read more...]
Skinny Peruvian Lucuma Milkshake
I love an interesting, new ingredient. I was sent Lucuma powder, and I immediately started doing some research on it. As a powder, it can be used as a sweetener. The powder comes from a South American fruit which tastes similar to an apple, and in regions such as Peru, it is the most popular ice cream flavor. It is considered the vanilla of Peru! So, I have decided to honor the ingredient and make … [Read more...]
Apple Pie Overnight Oats
What a comforting yet refreshing way to start the morning: pie! No, not really (though yes, I'd really love pie for breakfast). My apple pie overnight oats have all of the flavor of apple pie, the slightly tender yet crisp apple chunks, and all of the nutrition of whole grain oats and protein-packed yogurt. Totally awesome if you ask me!I love the cupcake mug my grandma found for me! Apple Pie … [Read more...]

Allergy-Free Strawberry-Filled Oatmeal Cookie Squares
When I made these allergen-free cookies for the first time, I was really excited! They’re the perfect snack to throw in your purse when you know you’re going to have a busy day, or they’re the perfect dessert at the end of it all. They remind me of Nutri-Grain bars but so much better, because they’re homemade! These are the ultimate moist, chewy, hearty cookie while being free from: fat, nuts, … [Read more...]
Almond Joy Popcorn
Remember my love of Almond Joy candy bars? Well it’s peeking it’s little head again and attacking my popcorn bowl! It’s ok, I’ll surrender. Don't these look like a tasty combo?Although this may seem like an indulgent treat, you could make an argument for the health benefits of air popped popcorn, dark chocolate, toasted almonds, and unsweetened coconut…so why not mix them all together? Sounds … [Read more...]
Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Dough Dip
I know that the cookie dough dip turned crazy huge when Chocolate Covered Katie put out her recipe for chocolate chip cookie dough dip. It looks amazing! I’ve always loved chickpeas, especially because they have a neutral flavor that you can use in savory or sweet dishes. So, when I was whipping up my Quinoa Goji Oat Cookies, I made a mental note that the dough would be amazing as a dip. When I … [Read more...]

Chai Spiced Granola
If you couldn’t tell, I love making healthy granolas (my Super Healthy Cinnamon Raisin Granola is one of my favorites). I was inspired to use my vanilla chai tea for this granola while I was baking my Vegan Vanilla Chai Muffins. The smell filled my kitchen and was so yummy: subtly spicy and sweet. I used some cooked quinoa to add another grain to the mix, but also to add protein, and I threw in … [Read more...]
