My friend Katie, aka Wellness Mama, has a great recipe on her website for healthy marshmellows. I have been wanting to try to make them oh, for like 3 months, ever since my friend Lauren told me about her homemade marshmellows (which are not healthy, so I went searching for a heathier alternative). I had intended to… [read more]
I love all things pumpkin: pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin pie. Do you see the problem? All my pumpkin involves a baked good full of sugar. My friend posted a picture of a pumpkin smoothie and I knew I needed to try my hand at one. I pinned a bunch of pumpkin smoothie recipes… [read more]
Fatty desserts can be really amazing if you do them right. As I pointed out in the original post, you don’t want to combine your fat with carbs, so it’s imperative that you find a recipe that is almost exclusively fat, or combined with just protein. A bit of sweetener is fine, but try to… [read more]
These cookies are husband-approved. My husband is the biggest sugar addict I have ever met. He has something sweet for breakfast as soon as he wakes up, followed by something else sweet for a mid-morning snack. Then a candy bar or ice cream after lunch. Then another sweet after dinner. It’s insane. He is 6… [read more]
At our house, fall means the beginning of winter squash season: butternut, acorn, pumpkin… I love it all! And winter squash is incredibly versatile since it can be prepared to be sweet or savory. There is so much more out there than just the traditional pumpkin pie. So, if you’re wondering what to do with… [read more]
Banana bread was one of the very first things I learned how to bake. So that should tell you how easy it is to make this banana bread! This recipe has been adapted over the years as I got healthier and healthier. I used to use a full cup of white sugar! When I… [read more]

Oh, just looking at this picture makes me want to eat more. Good memories these chocolate covered almonds and I have together. So after reading the book Cure Tooth Decay, I have been working hard to reduce my grain intake even more. It’s been a long slow road for me, first step years ago… [read more]
I have been doing a few grain free baking experiments lately. The older Penelope gets, the more sugar seems to pop up everywhere. Her memory of those times I have given her a cookie at a party or special time are strong, so she asks for cookies a lot. I don’t want to deprive… [read more]
Earlier this summer when I went blueberry picking with Penelope and a friend of mine and her kids, I also picked up some blackberries. In years past, we have eaten blackberries fresh and made pies, but this year I wanted to try making jam. I have made blueberry jam before with pectin but wanted to… [read more]
