The Healthy Flavor

This is the perfect healthy, hearty and delicious breakfast to start your day. I am in love with this loaf. I combined several of my favorite flavors….vanilla, lemon, mint and a hint of cinnamon. Not one flavor overpowers the other….just touches of each compliment each other. It is mildly sweet, making it the perfect breakfast [...]

This is such an easy and simple recipe. You don’t need many ingredients and it is filling and delicious. My husband absolutely loved it and claimed it tasted just like the stuff we used to consume at the restaurants. I don’t know about that…it’s not prepared the traditional way, it’s not greasy, nor does it [...]

This granola is all about butters…peanut butter and almond butter. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but store bought granola runs at least $6 a bag for a decent blend…and even those contain added sugars and oils usually. Well, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a peanut and almond butter granola, so here you go! I also [...]

It’s Valentines Day, so you know what that means…..chocolate! Come on…you knew that was coming. Not just any chocolate though, homemade bittersweet chocolate peanut butter sauce. This isn’t just melting down some chocolate chips either, I made this from scratch using real cocoa butter. It’s definitely much healthier than store bought versions containing stabilizers and [...]

This may just be my favorite new dip. It honestly could be called hummus too, since I use chickpeas. However, I feel it’s more along the lines of a bean dip because I created the consistency to be similar to Frito Lay bean dip that I used to be addicted to. I made this slightly spicy, [...]

It should be illegal how delicious and easy these cookies are. No, really…they can be yours in 20 minutes. They are crispy, golden, sweet and absolutely delicious. The coconut sugar gives them that extra flavor and crunch. I used to be obsessed with the peanut butter cookies at Subway. Believe it or not, Subway happens [...]

This week I’m going to be sharing love….blog love, that is. I’m always coming across incredible recipes from my fellow bloggers and want to try them all! It’s hard to try out a lot of them, being I’m always creating my own recipes, and taking care of my wonderful 15 month old daughter. This past [...]

My favorite black bean veggie burger has always been from Beck’s Prime. Not anymore…now my favorite is the one below! I set out to create my own because theirs is too expensive and not vegan. Veggie burgers can be mushy, cardboard-like or unflavorful. I solved that by infusing mine with loads of flavor and spice. I also use [...]
