Did I mention they have tiny morsels of chocolate goodness in every bite? You may feel a bit naughty or like you're cheating because they taste just like decadent ... read more

nutella banana “ice cream”
I remember seeing a recipe for banana "ice cream" and thought to myself, "that is a fabulous idea!" Frozen bananas blended until smooth. No cream. No fat.

I always have frozen bananas in my freezer and Nutella...well, it's just good to have ... read more
chocolate crispy treats
When Kyri gets home from school, she pretty much asks for a snack the minute we walk in the door. I usually tell her she can finish whatever is leftover from her lunch, which is almost always the other half of her sandwich or a few veggie straws. She's not very happy with that response. She would much have something fun and exciting...like a popsicle or ice cream! If only I were a cool mom. For those days you want to surprise your kids with a (sweet) after school snack, ... read more
gluten free crackers
Sometimes you just need a good salty, crunchy snack to take with you on the go. Maybe crackers. Maybe chips. Maybe pretzels. Now, when you start doing the whole gluten free diet, you soon realize that all of those salty, crunchy snacks you once loved...can be quite pricey. Don't get me wrong, there are some great gluten free varieties out there. But then I asked myself, "why not make your own?" I was really starting to miss crackers. Crispy, crunchy, ... read more

vanilla chia seed pudding
Chia seeds. A super food of champions! These tiny little seeds are packed with fiber, protein and Omega-3 fatty acids. One of those magic ingredients, full of healthy-goodness. I've seen them in recipes and at the grocery store, but hadn't tried them myself. I may be a little late joining the chia-seed bandwagon. Trader Joe's started carrying them so I thought I would finally give them a try! Chia seed pudding recipes kept popping up on Pinterest. It looked pretty similar to tapioca pudding, ... read more
cookies n’ cream no-bake cheesecake
One type of ice cream I truly miss since going gluten free...cookies n' cream. It was my favorite flavor growing up, so it makes my heart a little sad when I see it in the freezer isle of the grocery store. If there is a gluten free cookies n' cream ice cream out there, you might not want to tell me about it. Or maybe you should. Yes, you should. I whipped up this delicious cookies n' cream no-bake cheesecake the other night and my family loved it! It tastes just ... read more
gluten free peanut butter m&m cookies
I can remember as a little girl, my grandma would always have a plate of freshly-baked cookies when we came to visit her. Cookies and a glass of milk. She knew the way to her grandkids hearts. It was such a treat to visit grandma's house, but her cookies made our visit that much sweeter. I sure do miss my grandma. Her love for baking was passed down to my mom, which my mom so graciously passed down to me. I'm pretty thankful for my inherited heart for ... read more
