Boozy Brownies w/ Port Reduction Frosting
I’ve got a treat for you. No, this is not a treat-with-hidden-black-beans kind of treat. This is not a tastes-more-decadent-than-it-really-is kind of treat. This is a splurge. A seriously chocolately brownie filled with sugar, flour, oil, loads of chocolate, and booze. And I’m not sorry. I really was planning on just making plain brownies without […]

Raw Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites
Here’s an easy delicious little raw treat! I made a matcha-free version of these last week (but ate them all before I took any pictures. Oops.) This morning I woke up needing a small treat before my workout, which normally would be my breakfast truffles. For a special treat, I whipped up some of these! […]

Cheddar Broccoli Potato Fritters
This was a thrown-together weeknight dinner gone very very right. These are a fairly decadent little meal, but a great treat that you totally deserve. Or you can throw it on a big plate of greens and feel a lot less guilty about it. That’s my style 🙂 I bought a can of peeled white […]

(Raw) Ranch Kale Chips
I am absolutely in love with making kale chips with some serious crunchy coating. I started with my cheesy nacho variety and now it’s time for ranch! I have no idea what’s next, but it’s going to happen soon. These are satisfying and delicious treats. I may or may not have had lunch a couple […]

Overnight Steel Cut Oats Muesli
Did you know you can have overnight oats with steel cut oats? You can eat them raw. Just need to soak ’em and soften ’em! It’s a truly terrific way to start your day. This little bowl of goodies is so darn filling!

Pasta Primavera
I am in love with this simple adaptable veggie dish. My dad made this for me and my sister sometimes when we were growing up – one of very few meals that would actually get me to eat some vegetables. It had to be loaded with tons of garlicky goodness (weird kid, I know), and […]

Beet & Berries Juice
I mentioned in my weekend recap that I was craving beets last weekend. Of course, I had to look up what nutrients are in beets – what health benefit do they have that I am lacking to give me such a craving? Well, that smart body of mine must have known that beets help detox your […]

Fix My Pics: Rosemary Polenta “Fries”
Welcome to the first in a new series I’m doing called Fix My Pics! This is a long-term project I plan to work on in which I will replace some nasty, yellow, out-of-focus, poorly-cropped, can’t-believe-I-used-the-flash photos in old posts with new my-DSLR-is-so-fancy-and-now-I-know-what-kind-of-lighting-I-need pictures. Did that make sense? Maybe only to my fellow crazies. How bout […]

Sweetened Condensed Soy Milk + Chai Coffee Latte
There have been a lot of times when I’ve seen a recipe or wanted to make something and thought I’d really like to have sweetened condensed soy milk. But when I saw this simple and delicious looking recipe for a chai spiced latte (with coffee, not tea) from Giada DeLaurentiis, it was more of a necessity. […]
