    Healthy Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan+GF)

    March 20, 2019

    You guys, you guys, Spring is finally here!!!!! Yesterday was a bit surreal because over the Winter we’ve accumulated about 3 feet of snow and yesterday it was as if a switch got flipped and Spring arrived. It’s all nearly gone now and what left is melting at an astonishing rate. It’s enough that my sister and I were able to bike and hike yesterday and the weather was like literal perfection! I don’t know about you but there are very few treats I crave more than cookie dough. I mean, if you’ve been following this blog for any amount of time you already know I’m obsessed. I think it…

    Acai Dragon Fruit Berry Smoothi Bowl (Vegan+GF)

    March 18, 2019

    I’m pretty sad to say it but I think yesterday was my last day of skiing for the season.   We’ve been going up to Schweitzer Mountain Resort so much this season and I’m proud to report I’ve improved a lot on my form. All through February the weather was bitterly cold and we got dumped on with snow but this week has seen a huge shift in temperatures. I think it’s safe to say that yesterday was clearly the end of the cold. The sky was crystal blue, the rooftops were dripping streams of melting snow, and everyone on the slopes was shedding their layers throughout the day. In…

    Chocolate Chip French Toast Muffins (Vegan+GF)

    February 23, 2019

    Am I the only one who hates seeing the perfectly good bread heels go in the trash? Well, if you’re with me on this then you’ll be extra excited about this recipe because it’s a perfect way to use them and any stale bread for that matter. Don’t worry though, if bread waste isn’t a problem for you this recipe can be made with fresh bread also. As for the chocolate chips, they can be replaced with a bunch of different things. Whether you just don’t like chocolate with cinnamon, have an allergy, or are following a low fat diet there are plenty of other options. I personally love the…

    Healthier Oatmeal Cream Pies (Vegan+GF)

    January 14, 2019

    So were you a fan of Little Debbie’s famous cream pies as a kid? I liked them but I could never figure out how I really felt about them because they were obviously not healthy at all. On the other hand though, you sort of felt like they should be because they were oatmeal, you know? That’s pretty much what this recipe is doing. I mean, they could be a lot worse but I’ll be honest and admit they’re not exactly the “healthiest” choice. They’re just a healthier alternative. I just figured that if I was going to share a fresh treat this January it should at least pretend to…

    Chipotle Inspired Sofritas Burrito Bowls (Vegan+GF)

    January 8, 2019

    I’m feeling some serious taco Tuesday vibes today, what do you think? Wow, it feels like it’s been ages since I’ve added a fresh recipe to the blog. Oh yeah, it has! This whole deal with moving a website has been way more than I bargained for if I’m being honest. I’m happy to say that I’m nearly done sorting everything out but I was just dying to share a recipe today. I mean, I haven’t added a new one all year! These bowls are a nod to the popular restaurant chain’s menu item, sofritas. I’d never actually tried this, much less made it, until this past Summer. My cousin…

    Homemade Chocolate Peppermint Patties (Vegan+GF)

    November 26, 2018

    Yes, I know you can buy them at the store but how much more fun is it to make them at home? I mean, really. Peppermint patties are one of the most classic duos of chocolate and peppermint that I can think of. They’re right up next to mint chip ice cream and candy canes dipped in hot cocoa. They’re sweet, they’re soft, and they’re really easy to make. Now in the past I’ve tried the method of rolling out the filling and cutting it with a small cookie cutter. While this way totally works, I’ve found that it’s so much faster and simpler to form the “dough” into a…

    Copycat “Reese’s” Peanut Butter Cups (Vegan + GF)

    November 20, 2018

    If I had to make a top 5 chocolate candy list, I think peanut butter cups would be near the top. There’s just something so timeless about peanut butter and chocolate. Personally I’m a fan of dark chocolate, but I know there are many who would disagree with me, namely my own family. Hey, we can all just agree to disagree, right? I mean, there really is no wrong way to combine peanut butter and chocolate. Of course, I think it’s pretty needless to say that there are some less than healthy ingredients in the name brand Reese’s so that’s why I really like making them at home. There honestly…

  • It's been a while since I've shared a post on here and it's also been a while since I've been in the kitchen to create a new recipe. Hey, but I figured it's never a bad time to reshare an old favorite recipe. This healthy cookie dough isn't exactly old considering it's the last fresh recipe I added to the blog, but if you're a fellow cookie dough addicts then you'll understand. When you create a healthy version of this ultimate treat it needs to be shared! Healthy Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan+GF) Prep Time 15 minutes Servings 2 1/2 cups (about 10 servings) Ingredients 1 cup cooked and peeled white flesh yam or sweet potato (you can use any color if you don't mind changing the color of the dough) 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans 1 [15 ounce] can, drained 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter *see note 1 cup pitted fresh medjool dates **see note 1/2 cup dairy free semi-sweet chocolate chips ***see note Instructions (If using dried dates) In a bowl, cover the dates with 1/3 cup water. Let this sit for at least 8 hours. Then add all ingredients (including the dates’ soaking liquid). If using fresh dates add all the ingredients except chocolate chips, to a food processor (a blender might work but I've found it very difficult to get the consistency right) and process until very smooth. Stir in chocolate chips (or desired add-ins and enjoy This is great as is with a spoon, served as a dip with fruit, or even as a spread on waffles, toast or pancakes. Recipe Notes *If you want to keep this recipe sugar free be sure to use a brand of powdered peanut butter that doesn't add sugar. If you don't mind making this recipe higher in fat then it's super delicious to use real nut butter instead. Any kind will work but my favorite is cashew butter for this recipe. **If you can't find fresh dates dried will work you need 3/4 cup and you need to soak them (see instructions) ***If chocolate chips don't fit in you diet needs then other options here are cacao nibs, chopped dates, raisins, nuts, etc.
  • So when I was a kid we used to always put peanut butter on our waffles before drizzling them with tons of syrup. That combo is just too good to forget. The best! That’s why I thought I’d cut down on a step and make a quick syrup from this simple duo that you can just pour over your waffles. It really isn’t a recipe, but if you didn’t grow up putting that combo on your waffles it might seem fancy. The waffles themselves are pretty basic but I’ve been playing with some different flours recently and I thought some spelt would add a little bit of wholesomeness. With me being me I couldn’t think of anything I’d rather top mine with than some fresh berries, but you can go crazy with the toppings and add whatever you want. Chocolate Spelt Waffles + Maple Nut Butter Syrup (Vegan) - recipe on the blog. :)
  • Early Springtime in North Idaho = rainy muddy days and lots of unpredictable temperatures but I'm happy to say today is a beautiful sunny day even if it's not very warm. Basically, I'll take it. . There's a really annoying sinus infection/flu that's been going around and for whatever reason it's manifesting in different symptoms for everyone. For me, I've been fighting with the strangest pain in my teeth of all places. I had no idea that sinuses could affect your mouth but apparently it's not that uncommon. Sadly I finally caved after days of throbbing and saw someone about antibiotics. Which anyone who's had to take them before knows that it's like dumping atomic bombs on your digestive system. . Of course, that means I'm now in for weeks of dealing with the aftermath of waging war on my gut flora so I'll be turning to my friends beginning with "K" kombucha, kimchi, kraut, etc..... lol, basically anything with natural probiotics. . Anyway, my tummy has been very unhappy 🤢😩😢and I've been craving only comfort foods and things that are easy to digest. I'm thinking I might make soup tonight. This Irish “Cheddar” Potato Soup (Vegan+GF) is sounding really good.🍲🥔
  • How do you all feel about carrot cake? I remember thinking it was a weird and kind of gross dessert that only old people liked. How crazy I was when I was little. Carrot cake is basically a party in a cake form. There are so many things going on in there with the coconut and nuts, and pineapple, and spices, and yum! I added plenty of coconut to the cake too because that just had to happen. Bottom line, you just have to make this for Easter. It’s the perfect way to say hello to Spring, or, like me, hello to Autumn. You’ve gotta make it! Naked Carrot Cake with Coconut Cream Frosting- recipe on the blog
  • The pistachios are back! I feel like I’ve a while without using pistachios in a recipe. By the way, happy (almost) April you guys! Wow, is the year breezing by or what? I can’t believe it’s already almost time for the season changing again. Actually, our weather has been pretty unpredictable the last few days but it looks like it'll be warming up soon. These are pretty straight forward and they’re as easy as any brownie to throw together. These are definitely what you need to make next time your sugar cravings hit. Chunky Dark Chocolate Coconut & Pistachio Brownies (Vegan+GF) - recipe on the blog
  • What time is it? Sushi Time! Black rice sushi to be exact.To be honest, I never acquired a taste for sushi until I was in my teens. I didn’t like the fishy taste of the seaweed and I especially didn’t like idea of raw fish, which I like even less now. Yeah, you won’t find any raw fish recipes here on the blog but the good news is that you can still make some delicious varieties of sushi with just some good old vegetables. The recipe for this Black Rice Vegetable Sushi Rolls (Vegan+GF) is on the blog. A quick and easy veggie filled sushi recipe that you can make whenever the need for sushi arises. Mix and match the fillings with whatever veggies you like.
  • I don’t know about you guys but I can’t stand it when I find out things I’ve loved and thought were healthy are actually full of ingredients you can’t pronounce. There used to be this one brand of protein bar that I loved when I was in my preteen years and I ate them all the time. Seriously, they were so good. I’m talking creamy peanut buttery filling coated in a thick layer of chocolate. My sister and I were having a flavor flashback the other day (don’t you love those?) to our fave childhood foods and she said that I had to come up with a copycat version of these bars. I wanted to find out if there were any ingredients that I needed to try recreating them so I looked them up via the oh so helpful internet. Come to find out, the #1 ingredient is high fructose corn syrup and closely following was some other really nasty things! What!!! Obviously making homemade had to happen after that. Recipe for these Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Protein Bars (Vegan+GF) is on the blog.
  • Omg, I can't get over the weather and the fact that there are still patches of stubborn snow hanging on for dear life. It's been super warm for about 5 days now and before that it was full on Winter weather so I guess the weather is actually paying attention to the seasons for once, lol So I have this really big problem when I start to plan out a salad, there are no rules. Now I can see how this would be a problem in an opposite way for many people because they don’t even know where to start. For me though, I can hardly find where to stop because when I start on all the colorful veggies and toppings I just get too inspired and want to add literally EVERYTHING! Do you do that too? --Springtime Vibes Salad+Cilantro Almond Butter Dressing (Vegan+GF)-- Prep Time 15 minutes Cook Time 45 minutes Total Time 1 hour Servings 4 - 6 servings --Ingredients-- -Roasted Chickpeas & Asparagus:- 1 bunch asparagus woody stems cut off and chopped 1 15 ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained salt & pepper to taste 1 tablespoon olive oil -Salad:- 1 cup strawberries stemmed and sliced 2 nectarines sliced 4 cups fresh spinach leaves 1 cup miniature sweet peppers or bell pepper, seeded and sliced 1/2 medium onion diced 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped 1/3 cup slivered almonds 1/2 cup guacamole optional -Cilantro Almond Butter Dressing:- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro 3 cloves garlic 1/4 cup raw almond butter 2 tablespoons olive oil 3 tablespoons lime juice 1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup 2 teaspoons sriracha optional 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper --Instructions on the blog--
  • You guys, you guys, Spring is finally here!!!!! Yesterday was a bit surreal because over the Winter we’ve accumulated about 3 feet of snow and yesterday it was as if a switch got flipped and Spring arrived. It’s all nearly gone now and what left is melting at an astonishing rate. It’s enough that my sister and I were able to bike and hike yesterday and the weather was like literal perfection! Today I posted a new recipe, Healthy Edible Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (Vegan+GF) I know there are so many versions out there but this one is kinda unique. It uses sweet potato to add both creamy texture AND natural sweetness. There’s also no added sugars or oil in this (except the chocolate chips, but those are optional). If you are trying to cut out sugar completely or you follow a very low fat diet then something I’ve loved doing is just adding some extra chopped dates instead of the chocolate. Cacao nibs also work well.
