The Healthy Flavor

What comes to mind when you think of bisque? Creamy, thick, indulgent? Usually, cream is added to obtain the thick and creamy result….but not in mine! I decided to think outside the box and used sweet potato to give it that thick, creamy result and it turned out sooo delicious! It also gives it that [...]

Dense, moist, chewy and chocolate peppermint shortbread….it’s vegan, oil free and gluten free…..and oh, so amazing. Just in time for the holidays. I used almond flour, which gives it lots of flavor and makes it moist. It’s kind of a cross between a flatbread and a shortbread. Flatbreads are typically savory and shortbreads are sweet….however [...]

I read somewhere that gluten-free baking wasn’t just a science, but an art. I couldn’t agree more. You won’t believe these are vegan. You won’t believe these are full of quality ingredients. But most of all, you won’t believe these are gluten-free, oil-free and refined sugar-free. If you’ve ever tried your hand at gluten-free baking, you’ve [...]

This might just be better than chocolate. I’ve had apple crisp desserts before and the amount of sugar loaded into them is outrageous. Apples are a beautiful, naturally sweet fruit…why add excessive amounts of sugar? I don’t understand it or see the need when fruit is involved. I want to taste the actual fruit, not [...]

I used to love apple chips that you purchase from the store, but they are ridiculously expensive. So why not make my own? They’re super easy…the hardest part is just waiting for them to cook! I believe these would make a great holiday gift to somebody as well. I would just present the gift the [...]
