Hello pumpkin season! In honor of fall and all things pumpkin, here is an adaptation of one of my absolute favorite recipes, Lemon Almond Flour Bread. I make that bread SO much and can’t believe I haven’t tried adapting it before. I may even like this version better- at least this time of year. The pumpkin puree makes this bread incredibly moist and it’s perfectly spiced with pumpkin spice of course! This will become your go-to fall favorite breakfast or snack. It’s perfect to serve at the holidays too!

Sea Salted Caramel Smoothie

There is not much I like better when it comes to the ultimate combo of sweet and salty than sea salt and caramel. This is basically a smoothie or “milkshake” version of the Sea Salt and Caramel “Nice” Cream recipe here on the blog and it is crazy amazing, if I do say so myself! However, this is even easier to make so I can indulge my sweet/salty cravings in an instant! This makes the perfect healthy treat and is better, healthier, cheaper than any Salted Caramel thing you can find at your local Starbucks (minus…

Sea Salt & Caramel Nice Cream

I’m a BIG fan of ice cream.

There was a time when I ate it nightly. Yes, practically every night. It was habitual. After I put the kids to bed, the ice cream would come out and I would just serve some right up, cone and all.  (Notice how I did this after the kids went to bed. I really didn’t want to share and also didn’t want them eating all that ice cream! )

That was a long time ago, and fortunately habits can change! But I still love it. And still eat it on special summer trips to our favorite…

Oh sweet summer 🙂  How I love me some ice cream. But since I eat pretty much dairy and gluten free, I have to improvise, because I don’t believe in deprivation!

But this is no sacrifice and honestly, it doesn’t get much easier than this to make a simple, healthy, dairy free and naturally sweet soft serve! And bonus, no ice cream maker needed! This is super easy to make with either a high-speed blender or a food processor, and obviously the ingredient list is quite manageable. Just keep storing up those frozen bananas, they’re gonna go fast!

Made from just…

It’s Halloween! So here’s my nod to this sweet, sugary holiday, without all the…sugar. It’s my healthy, low-sugar version of one of my old favorite Halloween treats, the Almond Joy. I don’t eat Almond Joy bars anymore, they are way too sweet for my taste buds these days. But candy shopping for the neighborhood kids brings back memories of that yummy combination of coconut, chocolate and almonds and I still love this combo of flavors! So, I came up with a protein bite version that my healthier self can enjoy as much as my former self loved that Almond Joy…

This has been, hands down, my favorite sweet to make all summer. It has been my go-to dessert, not only because I love it (and so does everyone else), but because (if) there are leftovers, it makes a delicious breakfast the next day! I’m all about cooking once, eating twice and healthy indulgence!

This is just about the easiest dessert to throw together and did I mention, it doesn’t have butter, refined sugar, gluten or dairy (unless you top it with vanilla ice cream, yum!)? Yes, it’s healthy!! It gets it’s delicious sweetness from maple syrup, coconut oil and cinnamon,…
