Double Chocolate Paleo Gooey Cake

As you can guess from the title, this recipe is all things good in the world: chocolate, gooey, cake, yes. Theyโ€™re also grain-free and accidentally egg-free. I went to add in the egg and we were OUT OF EGGS. Emergency crisis. I ended up giving them a whirl anyway, and the result is dense, fudge-y…

Maple Chocolate Kiss Cookies (gluten-free)

The holiday frenzy is officially here, and I kind of love it.

I look forward to it every year. I think Iโ€™ll always remember our first year in Valdosta, when…

Pumpkin Acai Bowls with Cranberry Crunch

The Christmas cop has arrived in our house. It happens every year. I get a little excited to break out the snowmen and twinkly lights and heโ€™s all โ€œhonor the birdโ€ and wonโ€™t let me touch the xmas supplies until weโ€™re eating day-after-Thanksgiving sandwiches. Humbug.  Even though I have to hold off on all Christmas…

Italian Kale salad

You need this Italian kale salad in your life. Before you groan and think โ€œanother kale salad?โ€ I promise this one is different. It’s everything, really. Itโ€™s also a total copycat recipe from the new pizza place in Tucson: Falora. One night this weekend, Livi and I picked up a couple of pizzas and salad…

Persimmon and goji berry smoothie

  SO MUCH fall produce to be excited about! From the squash everything to the apple varieties, itโ€™s definitely a diverse group of delicious options. My very favorite: the persimmon.

Like lightning in a jar

Hi! Happy Monday! Hope youโ€™re having a wonderful morning and enjoyed a relaxing weekend. Mine included a traveling day to get home to my favorite people. We even had packed snacks (energy balls -recipe is below!- salad, and trail mix) to enjoy at the airport; far more delicious than most airport food Iโ€™ve seen. (salad…

The Best Pumpkin Cornbread Recipe

(Vegan and gluten-free pumpkin cornbread! This post is sponsored through my partnership with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze.) It can be difficult to think of an intro for a recipe when youโ€™re still in the process of eating and swooning over it. I thought about creating an air-tight defense for my arguably overeager use of canned…

Vegan chocolate oatmeal peanut butter cookies

Hiiiii ๐Ÿ™‚ Howโ€™s your day going? Hope itโ€™s been great ๐Ÿ™‚ How โ€˜bout a cookie?  Confession: Iโ€™m a little bit of a cookie monster. I can take or leave ice cream or vanilla desserts (case in point: creme brรปlรฉe is always blah to me) but I LIVE for baked treats. The gooier, chocolaty-er, cake-ier, the…
