Clean Eating Carrot Cake (with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting)

Clean Eating Carrot Cake (with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting)

Easter was the perfect excuse to make one of my very favorite desserts… Carrot Cake! This recipe is incredibly moist, has a delicious blend of flavors, and is downright addicting. I also tweaked the recipe a bit this time, eliminating refined sugar and substituting coconut oil for the vegetable oil. That means this recipe is […]

Fun Ideas for Clean Eating Valentine Treats

Fun Ideas for Clean Eating Valentine Treats

One of the things I was most uncertain about when making the switch to a clean eating lifestyle was the ability to create fun, kid-friendly treats. I’ve always enjoyed making food creations for holidays and birthdays, but candy and food coloring were always a must. So I got to thinking… is it possible to make fun […]

Peach and Pecan Crumble with Maple Whipping Cream

Oh, sweet peaches. Aren’t they just amazing? Seriously, there is nothing quite like a taste of a juicy, tree-ripened peach. I decided to experiment with a baked peach dessert tonight. I enjoyed the results, and wanted to share! It was simple and easy. I didn’t use any flour, so it’s also a gluten free dessert […]

Clean Green O’Muffins

I’ve never really been one to “celebrate” St. Patrick’s Day, but being online (or more accurately, on Pinterest) and seeing all of the green treats is just too fun! However, most recipes seem to consist of just adding green food coloring to a recipe you would make any other day of the year. It’s quick […]

Peanut Butter Cookies (that just so happen to be gluten free!)

Here is a really simple, delicious peanut butter cookie recipe, that also happens to be gluten free! I personally don’t have to avoid gluten; but because I have a lot of friends that do, I like having a go-to gluten free dessert. What I love about this recipe is it doesn’t require any substitutes or […]

Honey Whole Wheat Naan

Honey Whole Wheat Naan

This is the second component of one of my all-time favorite meals – Coconut Curry Chicken with Naan! Use the flatbread to scoop up bites of curry.  The buttery, salty bread is the perfect complement to the spice and flavor. Naan (or other “flatbread”) can be purchased at most local grocery stores. Or it can […]

My Favorite Granola Recipe

My Favorite Granola Recipe

In my recipe card file sits one particular recipe that shows signs of lots of loving…  is splattered and stained, showing signs of use time and again. (I’m sure I should have it memorized, but I still pull it out every time I make it.) And that recipe is for a healthy, chunky, and absolutely delicious […]

Super Simple Mini Caramel Flans

Super Simple Mini Caramel Flans

I don’t know how it is for you, but usually when I hear words like “custard cups” and “water bath” in a recipe that sits in my cookbook next things like “Soufflé” and “Crème Brûlèe,” I feel a little intimidated! But because my dear hubby (who was born and raised in Paraguay) loves Flan, a […]

Ladybug Cupcakes

October 3, 2011 by biz Leave a Comment

For Julianne’s birthday this year, I decided to have a little fun: Ladybug Cupcakes. Wish I could say that it was entirely my own idea, but the truth is that months ago one of our customer at Allo Chocolat asked us to order red fruit slices for her ladybug cupcakes. I asked how she made […]
