I don’t believe in a life that doesn’t involve treats. But I have to be careful with my treats. I’m so sensitive to sugar and right now eggs and I aren’t friends. So when I wanted a little treat, I knew I couldn’t use my old go-to pb cookies recipe. I needed to re-vamp. I’m very happy with the results.
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.

These cinnamon raisin biscuits remind me of childhood, but without the processed, sugary ingredients.
I’m the youngest of three kids. The oldest is my brother. While he was a fabulous big brother (no really, he was) and is still one of my heroes, he was still a big brother and had to mock and tease me without remorse. In
Every morning my son’s breakfast includes a mini muffin. This is my way of cramming a bit more protein and nutrients into him in an unprocessed way before sending him off to second grade to solve the world’s great problems. I always look for muffin
Even with the knowledge I have now, I still have that taste for delicious pastries branded in my brain. Luckily, there’s a much healthier way to indulge. These scones are sweetened only with dried fruit, cinnamon and orange zest and made with a combination of almond flour and coconut flour. This keeps the protein high and the processed carbs low. These scones have less that 5 grams of sugar ea
Three of the things I’m most passionate about in life are my husband, my kids and our health. My whole life, I knew I wanted to be a… continue reading
