Asparagus salad with Wheat Berries, Raisins and Pickled Onions

Yes, you are at the right place.  This is still Keep It Sweet Desserts and I still prioritize baking over any savory production in the kitchen, but sometimes I need to get a little creative with mealtime. In case you are wondering, I’m still working off the cookie weight (as I like to call it) [...]

Cookie Butter Lava Whole Wheat Banana Muffins

I think I looked at about fifty different banana muffin and bread variations before finally deciding to make these muffins.  My objective was to make something healthy but special.  I didn’t want plain old banana bread and I sure didn’t want something that was boring and dry. Luckly, I had bookmarked Jenny’s recipe for these [...]

Banana Brownie Chunk Greek Frozen Yogurt

Well, I think I am officially old. My 28th birthday is on Tuesday and while I know that in the big picture that really isn’t old, I certainly feel it.  After a late night out in the city last night, my body is just begging for a day of rest.  A big difference from when [...]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bites {Gluten-free} {Vegan}

Well, I think/hope that this will be the last banana recipe for a little while.  As I said before, the banana consumption in my apartment has a direct correlation with our workout frequency and things are finally back to normal at home.  We are headed to Napa later this week so the motivation of a [...]

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Dough Balls for Earth Day

How has everyone’s week been?  My days have just flown by and every night as soon as I finished in the kitchen I practically collapsed in exhaustion.  Working more hours lately has meant less time in the gym but my legs have never been so sore.  I wear sneakers in the kitchen most of the [...]

Apple and Peanut Butter Oatmeal Crumble

This past weekend, in the midst of browned butter muffins, goat cheese biscuits and that little eating fest called the Super Bowl, I decided I should bake something healthy for a change.  I know.  You just took a double take, didn’t you? The thing is, I generally eat really healthy and exercise like a maniac [...]

Triple Chocolate Muffins with a Peanut Butter Swirl

Today was my first day back to real life. The early morning alarm, a half-awake trip to the gym, and then that rush to shower, eat breakfast, pack lunch and basically race against the clock to get to the office on time. I didn’t like it. Did I spend the last three weeks recovering from [...]

Vegan Mango Shake

It is amazing what a week can do. One week out of the office and I’m smiling more often than not.  Now, that smiling could be related to to the  number of chocolate chip cookies that have come out of my oven in the last few days, the fact that I’ve gotten to sleep past [...]

Lighter Carrot Snack Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

Ok, I’m going to be honest.  I’m posting a recipe for carrot cake and I don’t even like carrot cake. You see, I really thought I did.  Moist cake slathered in cream cheese icing, how could it be bad?  Well, of course my version that I thought I would like is void of raisins, walnuts [...]
