Dr. Lucy’s Gluten Free Cookies

December 31, 2011 by Melissa

I've been trying a lot of cookies lately. I'll admit, I succumbed to the temptations of Christmas and had a sampling of holiday desserts. Everything in moderation, though, right? As long as I can have a bite of a cookie that looks good, I'm fine with moving on after one bite (this is especially true if I wasn't the one who made the cookie, because I'm usually weary of treats when I don't know … [Read more...]

Caramel Apple Baked Oatmeal

December 30, 2011 by Melissa

 It looks like apple "upside-down cake"!Ok, so this is more of a dessert than a breakfast, but some people just have to have their morning fix :) I don't condone being sugar'd up at breakfast, but some breakfast foods have more sugar than candy bars, so if you're going to do it, you should do it smartly (i.e. more flavor, less sugar). And, because I tend to have oatmeal in the evening, this is a … [Read more...]

This banana bread is gonna help you start your day off on the right foot. It's packed full of wheat, flax, and oats, and a mixture of healthy walnuts, applesauce, and bananas. Now, doesn't that sound like a relief after a holiday season of indulgence? Plus, it tastes so good, you may even be tempted to warm up a slice and top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert instead of that … [Read more...]

Cranberry Orange Muffins

December 24, 2011 by Melissa

I love that cranberries are in season and available everywhere right now! I have a stock-pile of the dried version, but I get so excited about being able to use fresh ones. I saw this recipe in a loaf-form, and thought it'd make perfect muffins, especially for Christmas morning! I love the combo of orange and cranberry because it is so fresh and bright. Because I have a small crew to feed (just me … [Read more...]

New Cappuccino LaraBar!

I couldn't think of a better Christmas present than to receive a brand new flavor: Cappuccino!So happy with new LaraBars!This new flavor blew me away. I am a coffee-aholic, so I loved opening the wrapper and immediately smelling that warm and comforting aroma of espresso. Loaded with chunks of almonds, this … [Read more...]

Wine Time!

December 16, 2011 by Melissa

 During the holiday season, I'm sure you're clanking glasses more than ever. Cheers to that! I absolutely love wine and I know that it has many health benefits, yet I confess I rarely get my "glass a day." That's why, when I heard about these bars from ResVez that offered the Resveratrol equivalent of 50 glasses of wine in every bar, I just had to try them! Amazingly, I was not only not … [Read more...]
