Do you like the whole "super foods" movement? I do. I think that it's awesome because more fruits, nuts, grains, and vitamin-rich foods from all over the world are becoming available to everyone to try!(Acai Powder from Nativas Naturals)(quinoa flakes)If you don't like trying new things, I'm sure this food movement is very frustrating to you, but if you're like me and love trying new things, then … [Read more...]
Almond and Espresso Chunk Biscotti
How do you go about eating chocolate with your breakfast without feeling guilty about it? Well, to me, that means I have to bake it into a biscotti! Biscotti are perfectly dry, not too sweet cookies that compliment your coffee because they become one with your morning jolt of caffeine. I love when you dunk them and they take on a coffee flavor, so I feel like the flavors of your biscotti have to … [Read more...]
5-Layer Oatmeal Dream Bars
I don’t want to sound like Ina Garten here, but I never really appreciated baking with “really good” chocolate until I was able to do so. I had no idea what I was missing! Please, try to use some awesome chocolate in this recipe, like the Scharffen Berger 70% like I used, because the melty pools of chocolate are the true stars of these bars! Plus, because I tried to use a healthier oatmeal cookie … [Read more...]
The Little Rock Half Marathon
(Here's my finish line shot!)Well, the weekend I had been preparing for has come and gone and I can't believe it! I ran the Little Rock Half Marathon!(Ready? Yeah, sure.)I had such a wonderful weekend. Steve and I drove to Little Rock on Saturday and the craziness started there...(Cool and collected before the race!)You wouldn't believe this (or would you?) but I forgot my running shoes! Yup, the … [Read more...]
Vegan Apple Almond Muffins
I made this recipe for two reasons: 1. I really wanted to make a muffin recipe, and 2. I really wanted to use my square muffin tin because I haven’t used it in so long! I’m so glad that I can be swayed so easily to start experimenting, because these muffins turned out amazing! I was so shocked upon first bite, that I texted my boyfriend (what a tolerant man), my mom, and all of my Twitter … [Read more...]
Fat-Free Chocolate Coconut Pudding Cake (Vegan too!)
I was rifling through some cookbooks looking for some inspiration, when I stumbled across a recipe in Better Homes and Gardens for a chocolate pudding brownie that had a wonderful back-story. The cake was originally conceived during wartimes and used no butter, no eggs, and very little sugar. Women could make this cake and not use precious resources (like butter, eggs and sugar) that were scarce, … [Read more...]
Travel in Healthful Bliss
This is my final energy bar review before the half-marathon! Can you believe it? I’m so nervous. Remember my review on Wine Time bars? Well, the company came out with another line of bar, called the Travel Timebar. Where the Wine Time bar resembled a candy bar, the Travel Time bar resembles a granola bar. There are two flavors: Almond Coffee, and Granola Citrus Burst. The Almond Coffee bar was … [Read more...]
Strawberry Granola Muffin, for one (Vegan!)
I haven't done a vegan muffin "for one" in awhile, so I figured it was about that time again. And, because I've been on such a granola kick lately, I figured I needed to incorporate that obsession into my newest creation. The *granola recipe is the same as my Cinnamon Raisin Granola, sans raisins (so, plain cinnamon granola basically) and using agave instead of honey (for the purpose of keeping it … [Read more...]
Nutrition With NuGo Dark
The countdown is well into effect now for the half-marathon: T minus 6 days! Ah, I get butterflies every time I think about it. I’m so scared and excited; you’d think I’ve never done it before. But I have! Remember last year’s half-marathon? I can’t wait to have another wonderful, challenging experience and spend some time with my friend Jessi, whom I miss so much (moving is tough!). I’m excited … [Read more...]
Blueberry Shortcake Cookies
These cookies are really amazing. They have the texture of cake, the taste of blueberries and graham crackers, and the delightful hint of sweetness from white chocolate. They are a hearty cookie that will be sure to satisfy you. I tested them on my apartment building staff by leaving a plate of cookies in the lounge area, and if the clean plate club means anything...well, you get the idea :) … [Read more...]
