I’m one of those people who finds something I like for breakfast and then just puts it on repeat, day after day….

These Healthy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars are gluten-free and vegan and so incredibly rich and satisfying! Good luck stopping with one!
I need to apologize. I’ve held out on you and I’m really sorry…
My kids are obsessed with bars. Regardless of how much they love fresh fruit, dried veggies, cheese, etc – bars are their favorite snack. Every time. Which I’m okay with. But some of the store bought ones, even the organic, can be loaded with sugar. Don’t get me wrong, I still buy store-bought options…
I don’t do many product reviews here without also sharing a recipe, but today is one of those rare exceptions. And I don’t feed bad about it, nor do I think you’ll be mad. Because while many of us love to cook and try out a new recipe, there are also times when we just need a quick, healthy meal or snack to grab and take on the go…
Let me introduce you to these Raw Chocolate Oat Bars, they might just be my new obsession.
I’ve made them THREE times within the last ten days or so, making a few tweaks along the way, and as the saying goes, third time’s a charm..
These Raw Dark Chocolate Healthy Brownies are made with cocoa powder, ground flaxseed, peanut butter powder, soft pitted dates, and organic blue agave! Which means no gluten and no refined-sugar, yet oh-so-yummy!…
Popcorn has been a long time favorite snack of mine. As a kid, my mom did nearly all the cooking, but my dad had a few specialty items that were his to fix…
Josh and I were just talking the other morning about smells and their ability to bring back memories or suddenly make you think of a time or place you haven’t thought of in years. A quick google search revealed that this is known as “odor-evoked autobiographical memory”…
Until now, I’d only heard of sweet potato toast. It sounded great, but almost too easy. So with both little ones happy and occupied the other morning, I decided to see if it was really as quick and easy as it seemed. And I gotta say, it was!…

Hiiii! Happy New Year!!!
Seeing as it’s January 9th, I think it’s safe to say I was rather successful in my attempt to unplug over Christmas and New Years.
We alternate holidays every year between our families and this year we were with my family for Christmas…
I’m so excited to have not just one but THREE recipes for you today!
Last year I had the honor of participating in Sprouts Bulk Bin Treat Exchange, where I shared my Grandma’s Gluten-Free Organic Thumbprint Cookies using many of their bulk bin items. I then shipped them off to two other bloggers while eagerly awaiting the arrival of each of their delicious treats…
I love to bake and need little to no encouragement to find a reason to make something sweet. But with the holiday season just ahead, I love that these Flourless Chocolate Peanut Butter and Oat Bars…
This Peanut Butter Banana and Berry Green Smoothie has been my go-to breakfast for the bulk of this pregnancy. With Brighton, I only experienced mild nauseousness in my first trimester and then had pretty bad heartburn set in around the start of my third trimester…
We love to hike this time of year. It’s become a little more challenging with a 22 month old and being 7 months pregnant, but we’re making the effort. These Chocolate Peanut and Oat Energy Bars are the perfect snack to pack along, and truly make the hike worth it!…
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and whether it’s a significant other, kiddos, your mom and dad, or a close friend, it’s always fun to make a little sweet for someone special in your life…
SO apparently sandwich cookies and GIVEAWAYS go hand in hand, a perfect pairing if you as me! Perhaps you remember these Pumpkin Whoopie Pies I posted last Fall…if so, then you might also remember that thanks to Coaction, we were able to couple those cookies with a giveaway for a set of my Five Must Have Kitchen Gadgets…
I’m back! I cannot believe it’s been over a month since my last post! In the last six-seven weeks, we have been to Vermont for our Baby Moon, to Indiana and Michigan to visit family and celebrate my Grandma’s 90th birthday and her and my Grandpa’s 70th {yes, 70TH!!}…

If you read my last post, then you know two things. First, I’m posting two cauliflower recipes in a row. Oops. Second, Josh and I found a house we really like during our rapid house hunt and were contemplating making an offer. So the update is that we now have a contract on that house {insert excited scream here}, and the home inspection is taking place today at 1pm. If all goes well we are scheduled to close in less than two weeks. Eek!…
Much like these BBQ Tilapia and Sweet Potato Tacos, these Healthier Peanut Butter Chocolate Rice Krispies came as a result of needing to use up some ingredients before our move, and as a last minute treat to feed our moving helpers! Our poor friends, are likely going to forevermore be busy any time we move in the future. Who knew we had so much STUFF?!…
Well, this Dark Chocolate Bark with Toasted Quinoa and Nuts was not at all what I had intended on posting today, but after making myself nearly sick on it yesterday, because I COULD NOT STOP EATING IT, I decided that while it may not be pretty, it is AMAZING and I had to share this easy recipe! How’s that for an opening, run-on sentence? See what chocolate does to me!…
Okay, truth? I’ve never actually eaten Pad Thai. So, I feel like a bit of a phony, or at least a little unqualified, to title this recipe, Sweet Potato Pad Thai. BUT, like the straight-A student I always sought to be, I did do my research. And I think {fingers-crossed} that I have enough of the general ingredients needed to label this Pad Thai…
The Christmas season is often full of indulgence. With Christmas parties, family get-togethers and tasty edible gifts, I’d say most of us get our fair share of holiday treats. So why not allow our four-legged friends a little indulgence as well?…
