Thin Mint Knock Off's (Paleo, Refined-Sugar Free, Egg Free, Dairy Free)

4/14/2018

Anyone love Thin Mints?  I personally think chocolate and mint is a weird combo but I know I'm in the minority on this one. M loves them and I know many others who do too! Who wouldn't love a healthier, guilt free version of Thin Mints?

My Favorite Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)

3/24/2018

0 Comments

 
You may have noticed an influx of healthier dessert recipes on the blog lately. As many of you know I'm on a constant journey with trying to resolve my endometriosis and particular foods severely flare it up. So why all the dessert recipes lately? I make them for my other half. Having a support system with my diet is huge, and luckily my guy sticks to my diet without complaint so I'm not tempted by foods in the house that I can't eat. So I make him treats he loves that won't make me sick. Hence... all the dessert recipes!

Chocolate Fudge (Paleo, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free, Gluten Free)

3/17/2018

0 Comments

 
So I have an embarrassing story about this fudge... This fudge had me the moment I checked out the recipe. It was in compliance with my many diet restrictions and seemed totally easy to make (check and check). So I whipped up a batch, added in some walnuts for good measures, and presented it to M at the end of our long day. We nestled in with our favorite series (The Office), in which we watch annually starting back a season one, and no we are not ashamed and no it never gets old. Anyone else obsessed with Michael Scott??

Ok so that's not even the embarrassing part...

I was so engrossed in The Office I didn't even realize how much fudge I was eating. Turns out I ate 4 huge hunks of it (which I know may not sound like a lot but I'm a little person and this was after I already ate dinner, plus fudge is super rich). So it hits me: like an immediate surge of pain in which I realize I've been mindlessly eating fudge for the past 20 minutes. And I'm in sheer agony. I'm in so much discomfort that I was actually up all night tossing and turning over my stomach pains in which I vowed 'I'm never eating that deathly fudge again!'. But now it's been a few weeks, and I can reflect upon this from a very rational frame of mind and realize- the fudge was not the problem- it was me, I was the problem! So yes, make this fudge because it's so delicious. But please, please- only have one hunk, or maybe two....

Healthy Holiday Grain Free Brownies

12/30/2017

I have a confession to make...

A friend of mine once told me she had the most amazing recipe for black bean brownies and I totally disregarded her! It wasn't personal... and it was probably a bit subconscious come to think of it. It's just that- well, black bean brownies have never impressed me. And I've had my fair share of them.

 Fastforward to five months later when she made a batch for a holiday party.

These literally are THE BEST HEALTHY GRAIN FREE BROWNIES EVER.

So the moral of the story is: do not judge or dismiss said brownies simply because they contain black beans, and do not compare them to other black bean brownies because there truly is no comparison.

These brownies are so super fudgy that they really should be called "Super Fudge Brownies" but because it's not my recipe, we'll stick to the original title.

No (to Low) Added Sugar Apple Crumble (Dairy-Free, Paleo)

4/11/2017

4 Comments

 
It's really hard to try to stay in shape when dessert is always tempting me! I decided no matter what I'm going to make the best decisions I can when it comes to my food, which means tweaking recipes to fit my needs when I have people over for dinner. I made a no to low, depending on preference, added sugar apple pie like crumble and I was so impressed! Everyone loved it and I didn't have to feel guilty about betraying my health goals! Win-win if I do say so myself. I know, the picture does not do it justice.
