A few months ago I introduced a new ingredient to my kitchen: carob powder. I’m extremely sensitive to caffeine and the dark chocolate in which I sometimes indulge has a negative impact on my nervous system, causing jitters and poor sleep. But I really didn’t want to give up my chocolate treats, so I started experimenting and cooking with carob powder …
Quinoa Carob Mini Loaves
I’ve made this one a few times with a few changes each time and I think that I finally have it down. These cute little loaves never stay around for very long in my house. This tasty treat allows my family to get in our sweet fixes though a healthy means…it’s a win-win for all.
Black Bean Brownie Recipe
When it comes to cooking and baking, I’m up for pretty much anything. I love experimenting with ingredients to create delicious–and healthy– food from scratch. But, I’ll admit, even I was skeptical of black bean brownies. So, I know what you’re thinking…how can brownies whose main ingredient is black beans actually taste good? Let me tell you how! The black beans …
Cooking with Cocoa Butter + Sprouted Hazelnut Cocoa Butter Recipe
I could not be more excited about writing this post! Why? Cocoa butter is suuuper healthy and yet under-utilized in the cooking world. Perhaps many of you have used cocoa butter in DIY skin care products. Yes, it’s a nourishing butter for our bodies. But not just for our external bodies. Internally, too, cocoa butter has a delicious nutritional profile! When …

So why make changes and exactly what IS this e-magazine you’ve heard me mention …
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bread
I am back. You may have noticed that I took a brief two week hiatus from blogging and Facebooking, as I was out of town and spending time with my family. On Father’s Day last week my Papaw, who would’ve been 93 years old this week, peacefully passed away. He led a brilliant life. My Papaw (Ray)Â served in the United …
The BEST Chocolate Avocado Mousse (seriously!)
Okay, so maybe that title is a bit dramatic, but I’ve been perfecting this for a while now and I truly believe that it is just the bee’s knees. I love it, I think that my toddler loves it even more than me, and my (sometimes hard to please) hubby also thinks it is great. WIN for MOMMY! How did …
Ooey Gooey Chocolate Peanut Butter Mini Cake (with peanut butter icing)
Yesterday it was hot in my house. 84 degrees hot, to be exact. Our air conditioner went out almost three weeks ago…still not fixed. Now, I’m all for saving money and being as green as I possibly can, but since the last owners of our new home left screens for only 2 sets of windows, this does not allow a …
Quinoa Blueberry Mini Loaf Bread (nutrient dense & delicious!)
We love bread in this house. Like, love it. Like…really, really, really love it. Lucky for my husband (and son…and me), I realized that in order for us to continue eating bread, I had to learn to make it. This recipe has quickly become a favorite in our home. It is rich, tender, packed full of flavor (and never mind the fact that …
