I’m back this week with another quick snack to keep you healthy and satisfied, caramel apple bites and peanut butter cinnamon stuffed dates. This snack is to help you reach for mother nature’s bounty instead of the vending machine or convenient store crap (although many convenient stores now carry fruit!). Tired, hungry, pms-ie? Grab a snickers …
Strawberry ‘Caramel’ Smoothie! 2 cups frozen strawberries 2 ripe bananas 1/4 pineapple 4 pitted dates Water to desired texture Blend, share, love!
Yesterday I was scolded for not wearing socks in our new apartment’s wood floors after receiving a splinter in my heel. Who wears socks on wood floors though? I’m certainly not going to! A wood floor feels amazing underfoot, especially a barefoot foot. This is also the first time with ‘our’ own wood floors …
When I make a carrot slaw it signifies more than my love of carrots, it also usually means there is not much left in the fridge but an almost whole bag of carrots. Last night was another night where we bordered on takeout or grocery shopping. Neither won. My desire to not go outside/walk in …
I’m not going to lie, I’ve enjoyed this Double Banana Nog Smoothie more than a few times this week. It’s great for breakfast and especially as a late night snack when you’re craving dessert. This love contains bananas as well as banana squash. If you haven’t heard of banana squash, be sure to check out …
This is a delicious chunky raw marinara sauce sweetened, just a touch, by dates and sun-dried tomatoes. Those same two ingredients also help keep the sauce thick instead of thin like a soup. Enjoy it over spiralized zucchini/jicama/daikon radish/cucumber or even on a baked potato. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use a potato peeler …
These go from make to devour in like 5 minutes. How sweet is that?! I know that I’m ‘alone’ when it comes to my feelings on desserts. I like them few and far between, I’m a salty girl, what can I say? The other day though, it happened that I did want some chocolate and …
I realized the other day that it had been many months since I’ve made apple spaghetti and then decided to make it for lunch. It was perfect and sweet if you like a dessert type meal. Bananas were used as a topping instead of the coconut banana flax balls in the previous recipe along …
I feel lucky. Lucky that this recipe turned out freaking fantabulous! The last sprouted granola I dehydrated was a major disappointment. There’s nothing worse than a seemingly waste of ingredients. I made a cherry harvest type granola and it was lacking pizazz or something. Besides this and the cherry, I’ve only made one other granola …
Today we’re making a cheesecake based entirely around beets. Have you ever been in an unlikely place and witnessed something beautiful and amazing? This cheesecake is kind of like that. Raw beets in a dessert. Earlier I mentioned ways of sneaking beets into our diet and this is one of them. Jeremy used to hate beets because …
