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…

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…

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.

Heavenly Vegan Chocolate Chip, Coconut, and Zucchini Muffins
Baking with coconut milk feels so luxurious to me, like the equivalent of taking a bath in milk like Cleopatra – if the milk were non-dairy, of course, and bathing in it weren’t so wasteful and excessive. But you get my point. There is something decadent about coconut milk. It’s the velvet of the non-dairy milks,…
