Moon Cake ? {Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free}

Posted on

I’ve not been asked very often to bake cakes, mostly because I think I am really a terrible baker, which essentially just comes down to me being terrible at following precise measurements. I like to explore, create and bend the rules. Baking doesn’t allow for this. However, there are a few things I have been requested to bake, oatmeal raisin cookies, Christmas cake, and cranberry orange scones. I’ve now recreated two of these to be grain-free, I haven’t yet nailed the third. But these were… Read More

Four Ingredient Fudge (Paleo)

Posted on

There nothing quite like chocolate and raspberries when it comes to a dessert. Am I right? I’ve gotten to the point where sweets really aren’t a huge part of my life, but having something that satisfies that craving once and a while is so nice! That’s why I love this four ingredient fudge. I’ve been making this “fudge” forever now but never posted it. It’s one of those “it’s so simple you don’t need a recipe” kind of recipes. But then again that’s pretty much… Read More

N’oatmeal Raisin Cookies (Paleo + Vegan)

Posted on

There have been several occasions on my blog where I have fully disclosed my lack of talent in the baking department (ahem, the pie from hell!) Well, the truth is, that’s still true. Though, prior to leading a grain-free lifestyle though there were a handful of baked goods that I had mastered. I mean MASTERED! One of them, was Christmas Cake, which you can now eat grain-free too! The other, oatmeal raisin cookies. One of my weak-in-the-knees kind of foods. My idea has been to… Read More

Vanilla Spiced Sautéed Apples

Posted on

This week has been what has felt like a rollercoaster. It’s been full of such enjoyable highs and extreme lows. And I’m not alone, there’s so much anxiety in the air right now, collectively among many of us about the current state and future of the world and particularly America. It’s enough sometimes to think about our own lives, then the lives of people we love,  on top of an entire nation. That’s a lot to carry, I tell ya. Nearly everyone in my close… Read More

Christmas Cake {Gluten Free/Paleo}

Posted on

When I think about winter, I remember riding my bike in the snow, I think about glittering lights in the streets of Belgium, I see the warm mist of my breath in the air, I long for the holiday markets in Europe where clove and orange captivate the senses, and I think about Christmas Cake, which is all much more than a cake to begin with. The years my family spent living in Belgium were undoubtedly some of the best years of our lives. Living… Read More

Pumpkin Fudge with Pepita-Sage Caramel

Posted on

I’ve gone and added another pumpkin recipe to your inventory of all the ways you can add pumpkin spice flavor to your life. This fudge is totally mind-blowing. It combines the classic flavors of pumpkin pie along with the bright contrast of sea salt flakes and fresh sage. Listen, if there’s ever a way for me to add fresh herbs to anything, you can bet it’s going to happen. They make everything better, even dessert.     Trust me… are you drooling yet? Follow &… Read More

Fig Protein Balls

Posted on

So I have a bone to pick. I enjoy getting on Pinterest a lot, searching for recipes, crafts, home decor etc. Every time though I see a TON of recipes for varying snacks that in some way or another proclaim they’re full of energy and protein. Which could very well be true, except I am skeptical when they look like donuts holes, have 3 different types of dried fruits and a smidgen of protein from a nut butter. Don’t get me wrong, I am positive… Read More

Salted Caramel Paleo Blondies {AIP}

Posted on

There’s a methodical process to baking that I’ve never understood. Cooking has mostly been my outlet of choice throwing a little bit of this, a little bit of that together and watching the flavors meld and transform. However, sometimes you just want a dang BAKED good! And for those times, I attempt at baking. I was so excited when Lauren from Empowered Sustenance  asked me to create a recipe for a guest post on her site. I knew, having followed her for quite some time… Read More

Lavendar Tigernut Scones

  When my mom and step-dad got married I remember as a nine-year old being sad that they were going to leave my sister and I for entire week while on their honeymoon. I found it quite rude that we weren’t invited. At the time we lived in Belgium, they were off to honeymoon in Spain and my great Aunt was in town from York, England with her friend to take care of us. The morning after the wedding I begrudgingly came down the stairs… Read More

Ginger Whipped Coconut with Pomegranates

Pomegranates have been used for centuries to represent fertility, abundance, unity and love. It’s complexity, the tiny sweet pods between fleshy membrane and sweet and sour tartness of each seed make the fruit alluring. Interestingly pomegranates seeds are full of antioxidant properties, healing vitamins, minerals and immune supporting benefits.  Behind the rich red skin lies the bursting granules of deliciousness. Similar with a coconut, you don’t know what’s inside or how to eat it without bursting it open to see for yourself. With it’s tempting… Read More
