Cinnamon Maple Caramel Popcorn
Just a heads up, it is very easy to crush a batch of this in one sitting. But don’t worry, friends! The most glorious thing about this popcorn is that it’s actually good for you. Instead of chemical flavorings or artery-clogging butter, this popcorn is dressed with just a few tablespoons of heart-healthy almond butter,…
Read MoreCoconut Blondie Bars
A perfect on-the-go breakfast or snack. I’ve mentioned that baking is definitely not my strong suit and based on my recipe archives, it’s pretty clear that I don’t do much of it. Which is why recently, my daughter dramatically professed how scarred she is by the lack of baked goods in our house and continued…
Read MoreSweet Potato Fries with Avocado Dipping Sauce
I’m crazy for anything with sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are such a versatile food that’s delicious baked, mashed or my favorite, french fries. These fries are caramelized and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and they’re loaded with vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber. Because sweet potatoes are naturally sweet, they beckon to…
Read MoreCreamy White Bean Dip with Rosemary & Almonds
If you like hummus even half as much as I do, you’re definitely going to lose it over this dip. It’s like a buttery smooth hummus, but lighter, and kicked up with the distinctive flavor of fresh rosemary and the nutty crunch of toasted almonds. Although I could just eat the stuff with a spoon…

These balls! Seriously, I can’t get enough. They are sweet, tart, chewy, nutty and chocolatey. In short, each perfect bite is packed with texture and feels somewhat indulgent. But what I love the most about these is the fact that they’re very nutritious. They pack more fiber than you know what to do with, plus…

Read MorePeanut Butter Chocolate Chia Bars
They’re really just kind of perfect. There are lots of reasons to obsess over these bars, friends. First and foremost, it’s peanut butter and chocolate, which is obviously delightful. They are sweet (but not too sweet) and surprisingly rich, so a little goes a long way when it comes to satisfying a chocolate craving. But…
Read MoreChocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites
I am a sucker for chocolate and peanut butter. This chocolate, peanut butter, and banana combo is perfect for an afternoon snack or an easy dessert. The result is decadent enough to satisfy an ice cream craving, while still being a healthy option. I like them in bite-sized form like this, but you can also…
Read MoreBanana Bread
My intense feelings of love and excitement for this banana bread are absurd. Now, I inhaled enjoyed many a banana bread when I was young, but as an adult I have avoided it due to it’s lackluster performance on the nutritional front. Yet, this recipe is a game changer and you would have no idea…
