Let me just say the struggle is real. Life at the moment is rather busy between a toddler (who doesn’t sleep, Oh joy!), work, a traveling husband, and all the other day to day rigmarole. Sugar is my go to fuel right now. Normally I stay away from refined sugar at all costs, but not having slept more than three consecutive hours for a year and a half has driven me to desperation. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do ya know? So I caved to the sugar high and it continues to dig its powdery meat hooks into me on a daily basis. I have to give it up, but in my exhausted state I’m not prepared to go cold turkey. I need reinforcements! I need a gentle transition! I need healthy tasty treats/substitutions to ease me into this! So the plan is no refined sugar, but a little honey and  maple syrup is A ok for the moment. These pancakes are saving my ass right now. They aren’t too high […]

If you did the green smoothie challenge last week then your probably feeling a little lighter and brighter. Let’s keep up the green goodness and continue our Spring cleanse. Kale is a great choice because it is such a powerful green for cleansing, and it can be used in place of the usual salad greens. Creamy Kale Salad Salad Ingredients 1 bunch Kale (the regular curly variety) 3 purple carrots (orange are fine too, I just love the look of the purple ones) 1 cup dried cranberries   Dressing Ingredients 1/2 cup mayonnaise Juice of 1 lemon 1/4 tsp garlic powder Salt and pepper to taste   Rinse the kale and cut the leaves from the stem by slicing lengthwise along the edge of the stem on both sides. Chop into small pieces and place in a large bowl, slice carrots in thin discs and add to Kale along with the cranberries. Combine dressing ingredients in a jar and shake well. Add to salad and massage dressing into the leaves with your hands to soften it a bit. That’s it! […]

For example, if I go to the freezer to get that last square I’ve been dreaming about all day and find my husband got there before me?…. I’m going to bring the pain and I’m going to bring it hard. You don’t want to come between me and my chocolate unless your some kind of masochist. However, occasionally after Easter we have such a surplus of chocolate even I must share! I have been wanting to adapt this recipe from The Cilantropist for a little while, and I had the perfect excuse to do it with all our easter chocolate! My version is gluten and dairy free of course, and can be made Paleo if you opt for no crust, or use a great paleo chocolate cookie like this one from The Texanerin (but that will mean extra baking, so keep that in mind). This recipe is fairly simple and SO delicious. So if you have some extra Easter chocolate around, or even if you don’t, your gonna want to make this showstopper of a dessert. It takes chocolate to another level. Ingredients 3/4 stick Earth Balance soy free Vegan Buttery […]
