Banana No-Bake Cookies (No Refined Sugar)
I’ve got another sugarless baking experiment for you today, imaginary internet pal! I know you’ve been there- middle of the afternoon, no snacks handy, craving hits.. and you think to yourself, “how can I make myself a treat before the kids wake up??” I immediately thought of no-bake cookies (and also thought I was some […]
Raspberry Ice Pops
I wish I had a separate freezer that I could dedicate to frozen treats. Or maybe an ice cream cart right in my living room? Umbrella and all. Sounds completely normal.I had to do some major freezer reorganizing last week- not due to popsicle excess (I wish!), but because we bought a 1/4 cow and […]
Avocado Banana Bread
Something strange happened last week. I had leftover AVOCADOS. That never happens, like, ever. We were heading out of town for a few days and I needed to use them up quickly. While I have used frozen avocado before with success (just mash and freeze flat in a freezer bag), I wanted to make something […]
Banana Carob Brownies
I’ve been a little scared to get back to baking. My brain is trained to grab the sugar immediately! But I am retraining.. and grabbing the honey instead. These brownies came about after a long internet search for a brownie recipe without refined sugar. I found black bean brownies, gluten-free brownies, vegan brownies.. but nothing […]

Frozen Smoothie Bags
I am very excited to share this idea with you today! If you are looking to streamline your morning routine or looking for a quick and healthy mini-meal or snack for the kids, pay attention! This is a good one. I was inspired to make these frozen smoothie bags by The Tidy Nest‘s make-ahead freezer […]
Spinach Kale and Pear Smoothie
Green drink! Are you in, loves? My last attempt at a green smoothie wasn’t exactly what I hoped for. So, I picked myself up and found some more green inspiration. Kale. Spinach. Pear. YUM. This smoothie looks very green, but you don’t actually taste any of the green stuff. All I really tasted was the […]
Vegan CocoNana Mini Muffins
Even though I’m not living the vegan lifestyle anymore, I’m still finding ways to enjoy vegan recipes in my diet. I saw this recipe this morning on Miss Mary‘s blog and I had to jump right in and make them! They looked delicious and simple, and they were. The name CocoNana refers to the coconut […]
Part-Time Vegan, Day 4
 I ate too many cookies today. ‘Cause, you know.. sugar’s vegan. (Woo hoo!) Breakfast was a peanut butter banana wrap with almond milk. Lunch was the salad bar at Lane’s. Snack was (too many!!) vegan chocolate chip cookies. Dinner was leftover pasta. Let me just tell you about this banana wrap. I make this […]
Part-Time Vegan, Day 3
 Today didn’t start out as hungry as yesterday. Maybe I’m starting to get used to it.. maybe? Breakfast was an avocado smoothie and jelly toast. Snack was wheat crackers and a strawberry popsicle. Lunch was asparagus soup and a slice of leftover tart. Dinner was chickpea saute with onions and kale, served over rice. I […]
