Sprouted Spelt and Pumpkin Spice Waffles
I know I just told you I’m supposed to be gluten-free and yes, spelt flour is not gluten-free. But fear not- I didn’t cheat! I was just the chef this time. That means that unfortunately, I didn’t get to taste these waffles. I can say with authority, though, that they look and smell delicious. I […]
Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins [with no refined sugar]
I don’t eat much store-bought candy these days, but when Halloween rolls around, I find myself eyeballing those Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins. I know it’s basically the same as a peanut butter cup, but for some reason, the pumpkin always tasted better to me. Maybe a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio? Maybe the eye-catching […]
Sweet Cannoli Fruit Dip
Looking for something to do with that homemade ricotta? Who am I kidding? None of you have made any ricotta since Monday. (If you have, I salute you and we are destined to be BFFs.) I must be the only crazy person with a fridge full of raw milk and an interest in cheese making. […]
Honey Nut Butter Cookies
What’s up!? The toddlers have amazed me by sleeping for TWO HOURS so here I am- bringing you some cookies. I wish I could bring them to you personally, but the inmates are running the asylum around here and they just won’t let me out! I’m surprised at how much I’ve been in the kitchen […]
Paleo Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Coconut Whip
PaleO-M-G. It’s my first attempt at a Paleo cake. Of course, I am not committed to the Paleo Diet as a lifestyle- ya’ll know I love me some raw milk and cheese. But I do see its merits in other ways and it seems to work well for a lot of people. We had a […]
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 […]
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 […]
White Bean Cookie Dough
White bean cookie dough. What. What??? That sounds totally weird. Are you wondering how white beans and cookie dough could possibly be friends? I applaud you for actually reading this post and not just moving on to the next blog. After stumbling upon lots of bean-related desserts in the blog world- black bean brownies, white […]
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 […]
Pineapple Orange Julius
The last time we met, I told you about my sugar crisis. How’s it going, you ask? Well, here’s what I’ve been doing. Trying to eat whole foods as much as possible. Trying not to eat sugar or drink juice. Eating honey/maple syrup in moderation. Eating plenty of fruit. I couldn’t hack it without fruit […]
