It’s that time of year again! Where everywhere you go, someone is selling Girl Scout cookies! This past week, I’ve seen many pedestrian-filled street corners with a table and a bunch of boxes of cookies on top. These days, since I am more conscious about what I put in my body, I walk on by. There was a time, though, when I sold those cookies myself. Come to think of it, that might have been the … [Read more...]
Strawberry & Cream Truffles
I made these for the first time when my parents were visiting from New Jersey. It was Valentine's Day so a treat was in order! They were a big hit! (and I mean that both figuritvely AND literally since I made them on the large side... They were cut in half but the other halves were soon demolished anyway) Make them whatever size you like! :) Ingredients: For the filling: 1 cup coconut … [Read more...]

Almond Butter Brownies (V & GF)
This is one of my most popular recipes! I can't think of anything else I make that SO many people have tried (and loved). I've brought it to pot-lucks, gathering, holiday parties, given it as gifts and even shipped in the mail cross-country! I knew this was a hit when my father-in-law (a true meat-and-potatoes guy) raved about them! This recipe is that it's easy and fast; you just toss some … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Pie (Vegan & Gluten Free)
I LOVE pumpkin pie (um.... ok, if you are following me and reading my blog, you know I love pumpkin anything!) and look forward to it every November! It's my favorite Thanksgiving dessert. Sometimes it's comforting to have a traditional favorite at a meal and not invent/reinvent new dishes every time! (don't worry.. I'm going to be making my pumpkin almond brownies too!) Having traditional AND new … [Read more...]
Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Scones (Gluten-Free)
The first time I ever made this recipe - or scones of any kind for that matter! - was the first time I had guests over as a new mom. Since our friends were coming over with their baby girl (a few months older than mine), we decided on brunch (best for the girls nap times!). Although exhausted, I really wanted to make something new and different. The very end of my pregnancy and the first few weeks … [Read more...]
WATERMELON CAKE (Vegan, GF, Raw)
I always like to make my daughter a home made cake for her birthday. I'm not too naive to know that once she starts school, she'll be exposed to plenty of sugar, sweets and junk food. But it's never too early to show her that eating healthy can be fun and delicious! The cakes I've made so far have been really easy and yummy, and it's great to be able to control what goes in it. Plus, … [Read more...]
Strawberries and Cream (Vegan, Gluten Free & Delicious)
Strawberries are an oft-overlooked superfood! They are packed with antioxidants that can protect against heart disease, strokes and other inflammatory diseases. Plus, strawberries promote weight loss, balance blood sugar and even support healthy skin and nails! I eat MOST of my strawberries just plain and fresh. They are SO good! Some other ideas: Throw them in your oatmeal Add them to … [Read more...]
