Tangy Peach & Lime Popsicles for Lazy Summer Afternoons
Here are the facts: it’s August, it’s very hot, it’s very humid, and I think we’re all overdue for a good peach and lime popsicle recipe. I thought about posting a recipe for energy bites (that’ll probably be next) because that seemed very ‘back to school’ but pah! Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I…

Cashew and Goji Berry Superfood Energy Bites for Glowing Skin
Let’s welcome the new year with cashew and goji berry superfood energy bites for glowing skin! I realize we’re three weeks into 2019 now, but in my books, it’s definitely still ‘new year’ territory. Still plenty of time to settle into 2019 and get a feel for what kind of year it will be. The new…

Coconut Protein Bars with Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt (gf, paleo)
Let’s talk about chocolate and coconut…. I enjoy but rarely make ‘macaroon-type’ things – you know, stuff with shredded coconut. I don’t know why, but my first instinct would probably be to make my collagen cookie dough protein bites for the eighty-billionth time (they’re just so tasty!). Having made these delicious coconut protein bars, though, I…

Libido-Boosting Dark Chocolate Maca Truffles – paleo, vegan, gf
Let’s Talk A Moment About Your Libido Ah, Valentine’s Day. It’s a holiday about love and romance (and cards and candies), but it can also serve as an opportunity to check in with ourselves about our sexual health.

One Bowl, No-Bake Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Balls with Collagen – grain-free, gluten-free, paleo
These collagen protein chocolate chip balls started as an experiment and have now become basically a staple in my life. I’m not sure I can live without them. I’ve literally made this recipe 10+ times and it’s time to share it. I found the original recipe for these on Healy Eats Real and I felt compelled…

Autumnal Pumpkin Spice Muffins – Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo
As Mindy says on The Mindy Project: “Autumn is the time when the leaves go from green to orange, the lattes go from vanilla to pumpkin, and girls toss their razors out the window for there will be no bare legs seen until April.” Oh Mindy, so wise. Personal grooming aside, as soon as the calendar…

No-Bake Muesli Energy Bars with Almond Butter
It’s a gorgeous day here – blue skies, breezy, warm but not hot, and no humidity. I’ve gone for a bike ride, bought strawberries at the farmers market, picked up my books from the library, walked about, and now I’m blogging and eating maca chocolate. In other words, utter perfection. Let all summer days be…

Chocolate Chip Shortbread with Dark Chocolate and Coconut Oil – V, GF
Well, it’s Valentine’s Day! This is a day to celebrate love, in all its forms. Love for your family, your friends, your pets, your lover, your garden, your home, and above all, yourself. Today is a good day to give yourself a little extra care. Maybe an epsom salt bath, maybe a special nourishing dinner,…

Classic Raisin Molasses Bran Muffins – v, gf
I love bran muffins. It’s something that I easily forget when I’m busy stuffing chocolate chips into every recipe I make, but a trip to Virginia last weekend (Virginia has nothing to do with bran muffins, per se, except that I was there when I remembered how delicious bran muffins are) reminded me that the…

Chocolate Chunk Nut Butter Blondies (with Teff Flour)
Are you enamored with teff flour yet? I am! Teff flour is my new baking darling. Making cookies? Teff flour. Making brownies? Teff flour. Making snack bars? Heck, yes, teff flour! Even the Globe and Mail is publishing full page articles extolling the virtues of teff, and when the Globe and Mail gets on board,…
