Pumpkin & Pomegranate

Ice cream cravings have hit me with a vengeance. Since I shy away from agave and sugar, I have been left to my own devices. This isn’t new to me, as while I was on my big fat loss way I would often whip up a batch of “ice cream” made from frozen banana, almond [...]

First things first! Averie is giving away some chia seeds!!! Go enter her giveaway ! The weekend weather here in Seattle was absolutely glorious. I took my mother out for breakfast at Flying Apron where we shared a Berry flying Apron, a PB Joy, and an Asian kale salad. I think we got the salad [...]

Yesterday I decided to make my own sunflower seed butter. I love Sunbutter, but find it to be prohibitively expensive. If you can afford it, great! if you are like me and trying to save your pennies, then you might try to make your own. Especially since sunflower seeds are fairly inexpensive compared to nuts [...]

My friend Mary has been asking me to do this for some time now, and these truffles are so pretty we thought this would be the perfect time. So Please check out my guest blog on Shelterrific! Thank you so much Mary for asking me to participate in your wonderful blog! The other day I [...]

I am sitting on the couch right now with the game on, well a game. I am not exactly a football fan, but I keep Matt company for the last couple of hours for college football Saturdays. I tend to be a tad distracting when I show him things from Regretsy ;-) Tomorrow we are [...]

Exhibit A: So I’m having a little chocolate with my breakfast. What’s the big deal? That happens to be a big warm bowl of buckwheat mixed with cocoa powder, coconut milk, a banana, some stevia, a little vanilla, and a big dollop of Sunbutter. Thanks to Heather for mentioning this variety that is JUST sunflower [...]

I have really been loving the quinoa flakes. So much so that Matt bought an extra box to keep at his place. Since I have been off eggs for a few weeks now, and the quinoa has been my morning protein. Oh and I pad it with some nut butter too of course!

Wait! Don’t run away just yet…I know, I know…it sounds a tad odd, but remember the strawberry shortcake??? It looked lovely didn’t it? I know beans don’t sound like the best thing to happen to brownies, but just think…brownies that are nutritious. There is no worry that you are doing damage by indulging. You won’t [...]

I don’t really need to dress up the title. It’s fudge. Do you need a reason? Oh? You do? Ok then…it’s HEALTHY fudge. There is no refined sugar, no dairy, there isn’t even any cooking involved. It’s takes about 5 minutes (if that) to prepare. It’s raw, it’s vegan, and it is incredibly satisfying if [...]

These photos won’t be pretty, but I have decided to do a snapshot of a typical day of food. In addition to this I also consume quite a bit of coffee. It is one of my very few vices, and as far as vices go I keep it fairly upscale and good. I drink good [...]
