These brownies are AMAZING! I created them for an Essential Oils workshop and they were a huge hit! Orange and chocolate go so well together, and the flavors meld perfectly. It's one of my mother's favorite combos'! (I am a fan too!) One guest at my event even said it was all she could do to keep from putting the entire tray of brownies in her purse! (Now that's a compliment if I ever heard … [Read more...]
Peppermint Crunch Bars (Vegan & Gluten Free)
A favorite flavor of mine is peppermint and one of my favorite things ever is chocolate!!! So a combo of the 2 gets me pretty excited. I just made this recipe for the first time for my Young Living Essential Oils workshop. It's a cross between my favorite chocolate bar (that I eat um... 'almost' daily) which has toasted quinoa for a light crispy crunch and a Nestle Crunch bar, which I no longer … [Read more...]
Lemon Meringue Cookies (Vegan & Gluten Free)
My current obsession are meringues. It's like magic (more on this below!) and I can't get enough. These VEGAN lemon meringue cookies are SO good my Dad (who is NOT vegan or gluten free) polished off an entire dish of them without even leaving me one! He also thought it was pretty darn cool when he found out what they were made of! Do you know what it is? No, not egg whites... it's VEGAN! Any … [Read more...]
Carrot Cake & Cream “Cheese” Frosting (Vegan & Gluten Free)
My husband's birthday was coming up and I asked him what kind of cake he wanted. Last year I made my chocolate cupcakes, but I wanted to make something new this year! His request... carrot cake! So I took the cream cheese frosting from my blueberry cake and made my first ever carrot cake! I know it's really hard to believe that as a bunny lover, I've never made it before but it's true! (Eaten it, … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie Truffles (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I love pumpkin and I LOVE chocolate! I'm also not a fan of dough, crust or unnecessary cookie parts in cakes or pies... I guess I'm a purist that way? :) So what happens when you take the best part of pumpkin pie (the inside!) AND combine it with chocolate!? Pumpkin pie truffles! These are so yummy, so easy and definitely healthier than your typical treat. A cup of pumpkin puree has 3 … [Read more...]

Today's guest "Babysitter Blog" post is from Celine, founder of Karma Baker - an incredible bakery in Los Angeles. Fortunately for me (and a little bit dangerously, too!), their products are carried at Erewhon Market, an all-organic grocery store just down the road from where I live!

Mounds Candy Bars (Vegan & Gluten Free)
Last year I made healthier alternatives to my favorite treats: Peanut butter cups, peppermint patties, mounds... They were all devoured at my Halloween bash (by both vegans, vegetarians and carnivores alike). Although these are still treats, they're made with organic and healthy ingredients. Below is my Mounds/Almond Joy recipe. To see my Peanut Butter Cups recipe, go here! … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Cups (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I LOVE candy! Or at least I used to. My sister likes to remind me that I could hear candy being unwrapped a mile away and come running. However, now I don't like what's in candy, which is why I've made my own the past few years. That's right....my own! Below is my Peanut Butter Cups recipe. To see my Mounds/Almond Joy recipe, go here! They're both vegan and gluten free! (Not that you or your … [Read more...]
