“Go ahead, have chocolate pancakes for breakfast.”“Ok.”“And please, don’t feel guilty at all.”“Ok.”“Trust me, eat them, smile because you just had brownie pancakes for breakfast, and they only set you back about 130 calories. ““For all the pancakes?”“Yup.”“And does that include sprinkles?”“Yes. Sprinkles too. You convinced?”“Don’t need to tell me twice. Give me my breakfast!”That is the … [Read more...]
Malted Chocolate Chip Cookies
When Picky Palate genius, Jenny, posted this recipe, I knew that I had to have it. Of course, I knew I had to try to make it as guilt-free (or reduced-guilt) as possible first, so I could enjoy it. After several trials, I finally came up with a cookie that mimics the spirit of these bars without so much of the need to instantly hit the gym afterwards. And, as always, I just had to share them with … [Read more...]

Chia Seed Coconut Pudding with Toasted Almonds
You know what really cracks me up? Fifteen years ago, you were one of three things:1. the worst gift giver2. the most gracious gift receiver3. the lucky few who were spared by not getting the gift…all because of chia! And now?

I Heart Keenwah Candy
This is the first quinoa product I wanted to tell you about, as mentioned yesterday! I was really excited when I first heard about I HeartKeenwah. This is a candy, using quinoa! Because it highlights the grain as the star ingredient instead of hiding it, the candy tastes nutty and warm, and the sweetness leaves the taste of honey on your palate.

Crazy About Quinoa
I think it’s safe to say I love quinoa. I’ve posted a few recipes using quinoa, and I promise, I will post more in the near future. Quinoa is nature’s “perfect food” because it is a gluten-free grain that is packed with protein, so it is balanced and metabolized without spiking your blood sugar.(Quinoa Banana Pancakes:) I use quinoa everyday, sometimes in several meals. · I like to use it … [Read more...]

The recipe results in one parfait, … [Read more...]
Skinny Funfetti Cake Shake
Do you love birthday cake flavored treats? I do! Have you seen my popcorn mix?! Enough said. I love that this “milk” shake I’ve made fulfills my hankering for ice cream and cake at the same time! Plus, I absolutely love birthday cake ice cream (you’re crazy if you aren’t swayed by sprinkles). You can use any vanilla cake mix that you prefer, but I use this one because I buy one package and use it … [Read more...]
Everything Nested M&M Cookies
First off, I love white chocolate, so I nearly flipped my lid when I saw white chocolate m&m’s on the shelves. So, if you’re in my boat, you know what I mean…if not, well then I feel sorry for you and you are welcome to use your favorite m&m in this recipe. Truly, sorry. Secondly, I’m slightly ashamed of the “adult Easter egg hunting” I participated in today: i.e. day-after-Easter on-sale candy … [Read more...]
