Grain-Free, Sugar-Free Banana Nut Bread
When you taste this banana nut bread, you will find it difficult to believe it is both grain-free and sugar-free! It is not overly sweet like most quick breads but instead has the perfect amount of sweetness. The addition of the applesauce makes the bread so moist and of course, if you love chocolate, the […]
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
I like the idea of having one “go to” cookie recipe that I know I can count on to turn out cookies that taste great and are a favorite of most. This recipe is my choice for just that! The big question however is, what kind of chocolate chip cookie texture do you prefer? Is it […]
Apple Pie Crisp Bars
Any pie lovers out there? I’m not raising my hand on this one because I will say, I’ve never been one myself. I do however have very fond memories of growing up and watching (sometimes helping) my Mom make pies. She was and at 96 years old, still is very good at it! I remember she […]
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread
This yummy bread is perfect for fall and would be a great addition to your Thanksgiving Day menu or to take as a hostess gift to your Thanksgiving dinner destination. My family is not big on the traditional pumpkin pie fare, so I will be having several loaves of this bread on hand. They freeze […]
Chocolate Avocado Banana Pudding
This pudding is rich, creamy, delicious and so NUTRITIOUS!! It’s full of fiber, protein, healthy fats and antioxidants. Topped with fresh organic berries and you really have it going on! I prefer to serve mine as a dessert but it is healthy enough to eat for breakfast!! This makes approximately 3-4 servings. Cover and refrigerate. I think it will […]
Chocolate Power Balls
Power balls are a tasty mouthful when you’re craving something sweet but are trying to stay clear of sugary treats. With the combination of protein powder, nuts and coconut, they can serve as a healthy little snack. But be forewarned, it is very easy to overindulge in these little guys! There are so many different variations […]
Easy Gluten-Free Carrot Cake Cookies
As you may have noticed, these carrot cake cookies are gluten-free but not grain-free. Normally all my recipes are both but I decided to add some gluten-free oatmeal for a little extra texture. Therefore, they are technically not grain-free but could easily be converted by omitting the oats and adding additional almond flour. I honestly didn’t […]
Grain-Free “Monster” Cookies
I’m sure most of you have heard of monster cookies…chocolate chips, M&M’s, peanut butter chips and oats. This recipe is my healthier version of monster cookies that are grain-free and loaded with dark chocolate chips, walnuts, shredded coconut and cranberries for a little extra sweetness. What I love about these cookies is that they are crispy around the […]
Sugar-Free Holiday Spiced Nuts
A bowl or two of nuts sitting out for your guests or served along side your other appetizers is always a nice little touch. These holiday nuts add an extra “wow” and seriously require a warning label on them! They truly are the perfect combination of sweet and salty and all the spices of the […]
Loaded Banana Sandwich
I got the idea for this banana sandwich when I saw a similar one online and I decided to put my own twist on it. There are countless combinations and you could totally make this your own by adding all your favorites. I used almond butter and some homemade blueberry, peach chia jam for the inside and […]
