Vegan Apple Cake
Posted on September 9, 2015
A healthier spin on the classic apple dessert, this cake does not disappoint. No mixer needed for this apple cake! I’m pretty lucky that any photos of this cake exist. I baked it one morning while L was napping and then was setting up my shoot that afternoon while he decided that an afternoon nap…

Posted on January 5, 2015
A no-bake treat and healthy snack made with just a few ingredients. These naturally gluten-free energy balls are so convenient to have on hand! Every day since L was born, you would think I hadn't eaten in a week. Seriously, I'm so hungry ALL the time. He eats every three hours and I do too.…
Chocolate Chunk Banana Ice Cream with Chocolate Fudge Ripple
Posted on July 3, 2014
This healthy version of ice cream is naturally vegan and gluten-free. I’ve got another ice cream recipe for you that doesn’t require an ice cream maker! Although, this one is a little different. When I was in the midst of a baking rampage a few weeks ago, Matt asked if I could try to make…
Homemade Peanut Butter & Fig Granola {Gluten-free}
Posted on September 3, 2013
Easy homemade granola with chunks of dried figs and a crunchy peanut butter base. I made a batch of this granola early in the summer. The first day I made myself a bowl with yogurt and blueberries then proceeded to eat most of the chunks out of the leftovers. Luckily the base was still good…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Bites {Gluten-free} {Vegan}
Posted on July 7, 2012
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…
Vegan Mango Shake
Posted on December 19, 2011
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…
Skinny Pumpkin Spice Mocha Iced Latte
Posted on October 4, 2011
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Sometimes I don’t drink my coffee until I get to work so that I have incentive to get to the office. After waking up by 6am, going to the gym, showering, getting dressed, making lunch and eating breakfast, it is a long way to go…
The Best Homemade Applesauce
Posted on September 15, 2011
Before coming back from our weekend away, I had to take advantage of the apple picking available! We went to Windy Hill Farm which had a decent selection of apples to choose from. I was really excited to see they had my favorite variety ready to go. Besides the beloved Honey Crisp, we got a…
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Pretzel Pops
Posted on August 3, 2011
I told you I’d come back with these cookie dough balls. Actually, the only thing that kept me from eating the entire batch at once was all of the ideas brewing in my head. Some of the ideas that you all suggested were kabobs, frozen yogurt/ice cream topping and mix-in, cheesecake, and cupcakes. I can’t…
Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Dough Balls
Posted on July 28, 2011
I had a couple options for tonight’s post, but it seems my Facebook fans and Twitter followers are huge peanut butter lovers like I am. For all the years before my blog, I thought I was alone in my peanut butter addiction. What a relief to know there is a support group! So, in honor…
Mixed Berry Sauce
Posted on April 26, 2011
I’ve been wanting to make a variation of this sauce for a while now: something that would take a scoop of vanilla ice cream to the next level (because let’s face it, vanilla will never be chocolate), add texture and flavor to a slice of basic angel food cake, or be so pretty you want…
Boston and a Chocolate Cupcake
Posted on February 2, 2011
Last weekend, the Husband and I went to Boston for a short trip to visit our foodie friends/newlyweds, Jon and Ali. Given that they love food as much as we do, most of the weekend’s itinerary revolved around eating! We had brunch at The Friendly Toast, tasted beers at Harpoon Brewery, dinner at B&G Oysters, …
The Vegan Challenge
Posted on January 26, 2011
Note: This post is a reflection of my week-long Vegan Challenge. I thought it would be an interesting change of pace from the norm. This post does not cover the ethical rationale behind a Vegan diet. I’m not Vegan. I’m not even Vegetarian. I don’t keep kosher either. When I diet, I use plans like…
