My Sugar Addiction

I’d like to share a story with you all. For many years, I have been happy with my eating habits. While far from perfect, I have had a good balance of healthy foods and indulgences, and was able to eat in a way that makes me feel good. Then I got pregnant with my … Continue reading My Sugar Addiction →

Cookie Dough Snack Balls

A few months ago I told you about one of our new favorite snacks - these Fudgy Snack Balls - which continue to be a staple in our rotation.

Fudgy Snack Balls

I have to confess, I've been holding out on you. I first discovered this recipe last summer, and even though it was HUGELY successful I haven't gotten around to sharing until now!

Brownies – without the eggs!

Because she is often placed in the unfair position of not being able to share … Continue reading Brownies – without the eggs! →

Coconut Granola Bars

Most of you are probably unaware, but I have been obsessively making various kinds of granola and protein bars for months.
