Guilt-Free Treats
3-Ingredient Trail Mix Clusters
I needed to make a chocolate dish for a get-together but needed something healthy and super fast to make. I decided to make these clusters of chocolate with dried fruit and nuts. These are so good! I’m almost embarrassed they’re so easy! Everyone loved them and I felt like I stayed true to who I am!

Read MoreChocolate Chip Cookie Dough Protein Bites
I have one kid who is very hard to feed. This week I decided to turn his favorite flavor (chocolate chip cookies) in to a low-sugar, high protein and healthy fats treat I feel good about sending to school with him. I almost cried when he took a bite and said, “Wow! These are so good!” And he was right! These are good!

Read MoreGluten-Free Brownie Pudding Cake
When I was a kid, my mom would make brownie pudding cake on cold, wet days. It was so comforting topped with a big scoop of whipped cream that melted into the gooey chocolate. When it snowed a few weeks ago, I needed some warm, gooey comfort. But I didn’t want the next day sugar/gluten hangover I get. So I set out to make a grain-free, low sugar version. I was so pleased with the results, I nearly cried.
Read MoreThe Best Pumpkin Dish You’ll Make This Fall
Excited doesn’t really cover how I feel about this recipe. I made it on a Sunday and literally dreamed about it the night before. Yes, I am that big of a loser and yes, it did live up to my dream. I used to make a pumpkin dump cake that made my heart happy. It was creamy and warm on the bottom with a crunchy, sweet top. I LOVED it! The problem was, it was loaded with both white and brown sugar and was topped with a cake mix…. which you had to add even more sugar to. I thought about cheating and just making the darn thing (Yes, it would have been worth it), but before I sold my soul I decided to try to make a healthier version. I’m SO glad I did.

Read MoreBetter than the 70’s: Healthy Peanut Butter Fruit Dip
I clearly remember New Year’s Eve growing up. We’d get together with my BFF’s family (no, seriously. We’re in our 30’s now and we still talk multiple times weekly). The adults would do horribly boring things (like chat about things other than Barbies and tutus) and the kids would run around all night. A few…
Read MoreHow to ripen bananas… FAST!
Last week I went to make banana bread when I realized I didn’t have any ripe bananas! Making banana bread with under-ripe bananas is lame. The bananas are too hard to mash so you usually end up with weirdly-textured banana chunks in your muffins. I don’t think my son would be impressed with this. So I had to ripen my bananas fast. Here’s how it went down.
