I love Holiday baking. I don’t know why it’s so much more fun than baking any other time of year. I suppose the excitement of the Holidays is in the air, Christmas music is playing (well maybe not quite yet), we are thinking about the time we’ll spend with our loved ones. It’s a magical time of year. Today…
Nut Butter Love- Health Benefits of Nuts and a Nuttzo Review
If I could only take one food item to a deserted island, I would take a jar of peanut butter. Or any nut butter for that matter. It’s part of my daily diet so I was pumped to try a new-to-me organic nut butter. About Nuttzo: NuttZo is a 100% organic 7 nut and seed…
Chocolate Almond Microwave Mug Cake
So I saw some lady on Martha Stewart, or maybe it was Oprah, like 10 years ago (I think, I don’t really know when it was but it was a long time ago) and she was making individual microwave mug cakes. I thought the idea was kind of silly and figured the cake would taste…
Chocolate Covered Marshmallows & More Valentine’s Treats
I totally on board with a little dessert splurge around the Holidays. I tend to gravitate towards chocolate but that’s just me. I wanted to make an easy Valentine’s treat for the kids and when I saw these heart shaped marshmallows I knew I needed to make something with them. I didn’t have to think…

Look Again, It’s Gluten Free: Mocha Bread Pudding

Even though we eat a little bit of everything, I still like to experiment with recipes because it’s nice to accommodate friends who do have dietary restrictions. When I was asked to create a delicious gluten free recipe to share…
Chocolate Oatmeal and the Benefits of Soluble Fiber
Boy this hits the spot when you have a chocolate craving. I’ve become a little obsessed with mixing things into my oatmeal. I replaced my favorite pumpkin oatmeal with this chocolate oatmeal. The best part is that as rich as it looks and tastes, the spoonful of cocoa powder only adds 10 calories and zero…
Chocolate Pudding Pops (aka Fudge Pops)
Popsicles. Who doesn’t have fond memories eating them as a kid? Push Ups, Rocket Pops, Orange Creme, basic Grape, Cherry and Lime, Fudgsicles….the list goes on. For some reason, I’ve had a strong desire to let me kids try some of my old time favorite popsicles- especially the chocolate pudding pop (aka fudge pop). When…
An Easter Treat: Chocolate Birds’ Nest
An easy Easter treat that you can easily make gluten free- it doubles as dessert and table decorations! We are having a simple Easter celebration over here, since we still have unpacking to do. We know where the church is, so my main concern was what to cook that wouldn’t take a lot of my…
