I usually like to balance things out on this blog. Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter right after Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars with plans for cookies in the near future is not balance. When I post something sweet and unhealthy, I try to put up a post or two with something somewhat healthy. And let me tell…

Pitaya (Dragonfruit) Smoothie Bowl from Fresh Dragonfruit
During the month of January, I did a 30 day eating challenge, where I cut out sugar, grains, meat, most dairy, and processed food. I allowed myself a few sharp cheeses, Greek yogurt, and some natural sugar when used in savory meals. I ate vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds, and eggs. I did this…
St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats
With Easter in March this year, I have almost completely forgotten about St. Patrick’s Day. But when I saw the special edition Luck Charms with all green marshmallows at the store, I knew I had to make these. I took my special tricks for making super soft and gooey Rice Krispie treats and applied them…

I checked my stats email showing how many pages views I have had over the last week and they are higher than they have ever been. Perhaps…
Creamy Italian Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce (Vegan)
Sometimes while I am chopping veggies or washing dishes, I grumble to myself about how I wish I was on a beach relaxing instead of dealing with the daily grind. We are all guilty of this. Lately I have been unable to do anything around the house because of a very bad allergic reaction on…
Thai Quinoa Cabbage Rolls (Vegetarian)
I somehow ended up with 3 heads of cabbage in my fridge. Not my fault. I like cabbage just as much as the next person, but I don’t have a ton of go-to cabbaged based recipes. I mean, I have a few, but not enough for 3 heads of it! But I have never let…
