Disclosure: I recently worked with Almond Breeze on a sponsored social media campaign. As always, all opinions are my own. Since I was traveling earlier in the month on my birthday, I had a belated celebration last week with my family! I made these vegan vanilla cupcakes with rich chocolate frosting as a little treat…
Dessert
Peanut Butter Honey Cheerio Bars
These four ingredient peanut butter honey cheerio bars are a perfect portion controlled snack to satisfy your sweet tooth! It makes me giggle when people assume that dietitians don’t eat dessert (or burgers, or pizza, or insert any other food here). Ya’ll, we are real people who enjoy variety in our eating habits too! 😉…
Apple Mug Cake {Quick and Delicious!}
Apple mug cake makes a delicious, portion-controlled treat that’s perfect on a fall day – especially after a chilly long run! This healthy mug cake is made with a mixture of whole wheat flour and almond flour, gets a little protein boost from some Greek yogurt, and of course, has lovely chunks of sweet, fresh…
Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal Cups
Pumpkin baked oatmeal cups are great to make ahead, freeze, and heat up on cool fall mornings! I was fighting it the last few weeks, but I think I’m ready to embrace the fall season. I’m sad summer is over but I’m ready for the leggings, boots, pumpkin, apples, and all the other quintessential fall…
Healthy Peach Blueberry Crisp
I’m having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that summer is almost over. The temperatures have started cooling down a bit, and one of my fall courses kicks off today. I love all things fall, but I’m going to try to savor this last week of summer. Case in point: the fact…
Chocolate Cherry Energy Bites {Just 5 Ingredients!}
This summer, I’ve been taking quite a bit of time skimming through all my old blog posts – identifying recipes that need to be re-photographed, posts that need some SEO optimization, etc. The other day I was working on my old dark chocolate cherry brownies post, and that flavor combo totally inspired today’s new recipe! …
Easy Vegan Chocolate Pie {With a Secret Ingredient!}
This no bake easy vegan chocolate pie is one of the yummiest desserts out there (and it’s vegan and gluten free)! Confession time: I’m not really a regular coffee drinker. I’ll have it on Black Friday or when Dunk’s does that yearly free coffee day, but other than that I’ve never been one to brew…
Healthy Pie Crust {Just Walnuts, Cocoa Powder, & Dates!}
Who here likes pie? If you’re not raising your hand or nodding your head in agreement, I’m not sure we could be friends 😉 {Kidding, of course we can.} I’ve got a family of pie fans in my house. I’m partial to chocolate or pecan, the hubby loves apple and cherry, and though my son…
Healthy Strawberry Shortcake
This healthy strawberry shortcake doesn’t just look pretty, it tastes delicious too! It’s finally strawberry picking season here in Massachusetts! There’s nothing I love more than going out to the fields and grabbing some fresh berries. That off-the-vine flavor is second to none. We try to pick at least 5 pounds worth every time we…
Healthy Cookie Dough Oatmeal with Chocolate Chips and Coconut!
Craving cookies for breakfast? This healthy cookie dough oatmeal is a nutritious alternative! My two-year-old is my mini me when it comes to the kitchen. He loves to bake. The other day in the car I mentioned we might make chocolate chip cookies, and he started rattling off “cookies: sugar, nilla (vanilla), flour…” I try…
