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…

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.

Plant-Based Paleo Granola with Figs and Honey
Posting a paleo recipe on what is generally a plant-based blog? That’s right folks! Gird your loins – we’re about to break free from some labels. Seriously, though.

‘Tis the season – granola time again. Granola is an easy, crunchy, tasty, and delicious addition to your snack and breakfast repetoire. One batch requires minimal work, makes a good amount, and is pretty much foolproof (provided you don’t burn it in the oven). And the customization options are endless! This particular granola is a…

Chewy One Bowl Chocolate Chip Cookies (with Chickpea Flour) – v, gf
So who here thinks chickpea flour tastes gross? Show of hands. That’s quite a few of you, but I’m betting it’s from when you tried some adventurous gluten-free chickpea flour recipe and tasted the batter and thought, dear god, what monster have I created? Chickpea flour – un-baked – is kind of bitter. It does…

Back to School Cocoa Granola with Buckwheat and Cocoa Nibs – v, gf
Friends, I’m going back to school! Part-time, anyways. I’ve finally decided that now is the time, and I’ve enrolled at CSNN London to obtain my Registered Holistic Nutritionist designation. I’ve wanted to do this for years and I didn’t want to waste any more time – so now I’ll be working full-time and taking classes on…

Chickpea Blondies with Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate (v, gf)
Chickpea Blondies with Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate (v, gf) As someone who has greatly extolled the virtues and deliciousness of the black bean brownie, I’m sorry to report that I had to read it in a magazine before making the connection that if black beans made brownies, chickpeas could make blondies. Once that lightbulb…
