• Sugar Dragons, Be Gone

    no added sugar

    Yes, I will accept the final rose and yes, these raspberry cacao “truffles” are here for all the right reasons. See, this week is both Valentine’s Day and my birthday, so in honor of a week that is inevitably going to be sweet central, I’m taking on 5 days of no added sugar. Read on for my not-so-secret sugar fighting tips along with the recipes that will have you swearing off added sugar, too.

  • Whole30 Reflections

    Okay, okay so I said my last post was the “Final Frontier” for Whole30, but I couldn’t help but bask in the glow for one last post on Day 28. Because on Day 28 I’m feeling…pretty great. Sure, it was one helluva rollercoaster (even the second time around), but I’m feeling high as a kite with the end in sight. Also….I’ve apparently turned into Dr. Seuss. I’ll spare you any more rhymes, but I do have a few more recipes up my sleeve, including green (deviled) eggs! Read on for a flurry of new recipes and some final reflections on Whole30. 

  • A grazer’s delight

    baked avocado

    Straight up, wait up, hold up, Mr. Lover. Like Prince said you’re a sexy avocado. Oh wait, did I just mashup 2 of my faves? If Salt-N-Pepa got word of these baked avocados, I’m sure I’d get a “that sounds sexy!”. I had every intent of making these crispy strips of avocado into tacos, but they were so dang good on their own, that I just straight up grazed on all this roasted veggie goodness. And the vegan red pepper crema – honey, dip it, dunk it because it is so worth it! Don’t be shy, ask for dEATs (and get ’em below).
