I've been partnering with Hynt Beauty to bring you yummy recipes that feature their amazing, organic plant-based ingredients. This recipe is all about Bergamot! Bergamot (Citrus Bergamia) is actually a cross between a lemon and an orange, and has a very citrus-y scent. It's best known for being the main flavor in Earl Grey tea, but besides its distinctive aroma, bergamot oil is amazing for your … [Read more...]
Strawberry Beet Fruit Leather (Vegan & Gluten Free)
If you are raising a plant-based or health-focused family, it's great to have a fun snack so the kids don't feel like they are missing out on something their peers and friends get. If you ever looked at the ingredients on fruit roll-ups or fruit-by-the-foot, you might not feel so good about giving it to your child. But the good news is that it's super easy to make it yourself! This recipe only has … [Read more...]
Meringue Cookies (vegan & gluten free)
I've been a fan of meringue since I was a little kid and my Great Aunt Carol used to make Baked Alaskas! Every year she would make a home made baked Alaska for my cousin's birthday. It was SO yummy! Especially the meringue part on top! As a young adult and on my own for the first time, during the "fat free" fad, meringue cookies would somehow wind up in my shopping basket at Trader Joe's with … [Read more...]
Rosemary Blueberry Scones (Vegan & Gluten Free)
As a HUGE fan of high tea, I can appreciate a good scone BUT it's not so easy to find vegan and gluten free ones! I first made this recipe for one of my Young Living Essential Oils events. It was a morning workshop and I thought scones would be a yummy treat for a breakfast time event. As you know, I'm a busy mom of 2 and run my own business so... easy and fast but tasty recipes are my … [Read more...]
Orange Chocolate Chip Scones (Vegan & Gluten Free)
For Teacher Appreciation week, my toddler's school asked families to bring in food for breakfast or lunch. The school is thankfully already gluten and dairy free (and I think it's cute when they 'remind' me, LOL!) Anyway, my RosemaryBlueberry Scones recipe popped into my head! So I made this version (along with another recipe plus fresh fruit), with enough for the 30+ teachers and therapists at … [Read more...]

Orange Chocolate Brownies (Vegan & Gluten Free)
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...]
