Pumpkin recipes are officially in full swing! First I made my DIY Pumpkin Puree, and now I present these scrumptious Pumpkin Bars with Honey-Sweetened Cream Cheese Frosting. This recipe was actually requested by a good friend of mine once she saw my DIY Pumpkin Puree post last week. I was happy to oblige; what is not to love about pumpkin bars? They are pretty much a pumpkin spiced cake with cream cheese frosting. They are great for parties because they are easy to transport and can … [Read more...]
Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with Chocolate Swirl
On Friday I made Gluten-free Cherry Crisps for Two. I knew I would want to enjoy ice cream with my warm, bubbly cherry crisp. I got an ice cream maker for my Birthday and have been itching to try it out. I knew I wanted to make a vanilla-based ice cream plus chocolate to complement the cherry crisp because cherry and chocolate were made for each other. But I didn’t want the chocolate to be overpowering, so I settled on a chocolate ganache that is swirled into the vanilla. Yogurt … [Read more...]

Dark Chocolate Cherry Raw Energy Bars
I love chocolate. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t, right? Sugar, especially refined sugar, does not agree well with my body. So, any time I can make something to satisfy my chocolate tooth without using refined sugar, I will. Raw Energy Balls or Bars are an example, they are sweetened with dates and dried cherries. Plus they are healthy, high in Omega 3s, protein, fiber, good fats and antioxidants. In June I made some pretty tasty Almond Joy Raw Energy Balls for our move-in-day to … [Read more...]
Chocolate Strawberry Gluten-Free Black Bean Brownies
A few months ago I discovered black bean brownies. They are chocolaty, fudgy, perfectly sweet, and decadent. I have been making them whenever I get a chance or crave something chocolate. Minus the sugar they are actually good for you. The black beans pack in fiber and protein while the coconut oil and flaxseed meal provide healthy fats. The best part is that I never experience a sugar rush with these guys. That is a huge plus in my book! My birthday was on Tuesday. I wasn’t going to let it … [Read more...]

Mixed Berry Curd
One of my favorite holidays is coming up next week. The 4th of July! I am so excited. I love watching fireworks and enjoying food and laughs with family and friends. There is no way I was going to let 4th of July slip by without a recipe to help put us in the spirit for celebrating the good old US of A. I had a bunch of egg yolks hanging out in my refrigerator because I’ve been making tons of broccoli and cheddar-bacon-quinoa bites lately. Every time I would poke my head into the … [Read more...]
Blueberry, Strawberry, Rhubarb Crisp
I know I just posted a rhubarb recipe on Monday, but I still had oodles of fresh rhubarb after I made my savory Rhubarb Chutney. I wasn't about to let my precious rhubarb go to waste. This time I wanted to make the rhubarb into something sweet. I wanted to add a fresh twist on the classic strawberry rhubarb crisp. Blueberries are the perfect fruit to add to the mix. I really enjoyed cutting the rhubarb. It is a gorgeous vegetable, with its hues of pinks and lime greens. I … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies with Blueberry Jam
Who doesn't love a classic, simple peanut butter and jelly sandwich? When you add chocolate to the mix, hold onto your hat! The classic combination is so ridiculously comforting that I can barely handle it! What about when you turn this classic sandwich into a cookie? It makes a crazy delicious, ultra comforting treat! They are wonderfully soft, peanut buttery, chocolate-y, and the center is perfectly gooey and bursting with blueberry flavor. I adapted these cookies from a Giada De Laurentiis … [Read more...]
