My love for caramel apples knows no bounds so of course I’ll come up with the breakfast-friendly version! Made with nothing but fruit and seeds for protein, and topped with nuts for a little healthy fat, it’s worthy of both breakfast and dessert title.

Food Inspo: Roasted Pears a la Mode
No recipe really required but something I definitely encourage you to try. Warm oven-roasted pears, the most luxurious vanilla cashew-based ice cream by So Delicious, and a drizzle of a locally made spicy cinnamon apple syrup. Have you ever had Hot Tamale candy? I can’t tell you how many pounds I used to eat, the […]
Quinoa Stuffed Roasted Beets
This is one of those recipes that happened when I was just winging it in the kitchen with no intention of making a recipe. I wrote the following in response to requests for the actual recipe after posting the picture so it’s more of the overall gist than a die-hard recipe. But it’s not complicated, […]
Creamy Cilantro Dressing – Dairy-free and Oil-Free
Gardening all day had me craving something light. Roasted Potato salad with oil-free creamy cilantro dressing. | Roasted sweet potatoes, russets, and carrots over an organic spring mix. Simply roast the root veggies at 425 Fahrenheit with a little oil and touch of salt and pepper and until tender and serve with the dressing below. […]
PB & J Smoothie
There’s something about the classic combo of peanut butter and jelly that we just don’t seem to ever outgrow. This is a slightly more evolved version from the white bread with the crusts cut off mess that I grew up on. But the same childlike happiness still applies. This is also our go-to flavor combo […]
Caramel Apples – Refined Sugar-Free
There are ways to make traditional vegan caramel that involve lots of time at the stove with a candy thermometer and loads of sugar and refined fats, and in my case, seem to be hit or miss due to the temperamental nature of candy making. The funny thing is, I actually learned to make traditional […]
Refined-Sugar Free, Mint Hot Cocoa
I had a 3 month stint on the Raw Til 4, 80/10/10-ish raw foods diet. I’ll spare you the details of my experience, mostly all good, but one thing for sure I can say is that it eliminated my cravings for sweets for the first time in my life. I’m no longer attempting a fully […]
Fennel + Blueberry + Orange Zest Scones
I don’t know what it is about fennel but I want to add it in to places it doesn’t belong. There’s something about that mild licorice-like flavor that gets me, despite not being the biggest fan of black licorice. Fennel in a pastry just felt like a logical move. It’s subtle here, but it works, […]
Brands I Love: The Soap Market
{While this sounds like a sponsored post – this was originally written for another site elsewhere but was never published and why waste all that work when it’s a product I really love? The Soap Market’s candles are too good not to mention under Brands I love and their body butters are downright dreamy.) Clean Skin with […]
