So simple right? Little orange slices dipped in chocolate. When I saw the idea on Pinterest I knew it was something I could actually do instead of leaving it buried in the depths of Pinterest boards, never to be heard of again. The idea came from Deliciously Yum. I peeled four clementines, melted some chocolate… Continue reading Chocolate Dipped Orange Slices

Paleo Flourless Zucchini Brownies
Sleep deprived. That's me. I was doing fairly well for the first couple of weeks. I kept thinking "this is amazing!" and "I can't believe I'm not that tired!" Then it all caught up with me this week. And when I'm tired I crave all manner of sweets. I saw this recipe fly by on… Continue reading Paleo Flourless Zucchini Brownies
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies
One of the lactation consultants gave me this recipe during our hospital stay after I delivered Little Brother. I made them within a couple days of coming home. Nursing has gone pretty smoothly for me this time (knock on wood) but I still thought it couldn't hurt to get a boost from the right foods. … Continue reading Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lactation Cookies
Brown Rice Pudding with Cranberries & Maple Syrup
The other night I turned leftover cooked brown rice into rice pudding. I'm not sure how the idea popped into my head in the first place. I had never actually made rice pudding before. Perhaps it was reading The Poky Little Puppy to my son. "I smell something.....rice pudding! And home they went as fast… Continue reading Brown Rice Pudding with Cranberries & Maple Syrup
Lemon Coconut Bars
A couple weeks ago I checked out the book Superfood Kitchenby Julie Morris from the library. I saw a post about the book with a recipe over at Chocolate Covered Katie and was intrigued by a cookbook all about superfoods. I casually read parts of the introductory chapters and then started perusing the recipes. The… Continue reading Lemon Coconut Bars
Heart Cookies
I mentioned the other day that I reconnected with roll-out sugar cookies over Christmas. Our son had a lot of fun making them so we vowed to do it again for other holidays this year. No reason sugar cookies can only be made at Christmas right? I think with a cookie like this, it's best… Continue reading Heart Cookies

Yesterday was Superbowl Sunday. I was feeling festive so I made football cookies! Over Christmas I… Continue reading Football Cookies
Graham Cracker Treats
Graham cracker treats are a simple little goodie from my childhood. I can picture my mom sitting down at the table with a box of graham crackers and a can of frosting, methodically churning out these little sandwiches. I don't have them as much now that I'm an adult but when I had some leftover… Continue reading Graham Cracker Treats
Just For Fun
At my siblings' birthday dinner last weekend, not only did I make cranberry quinoa pilaf, I also made dairy-free cupcakes. Because there was no way I was going to a birthday dinner and having to pass on dessert! They are: Simple Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes Basic Buttercream Frosting (made with EB & soymilk) These are some… Continue reading Just For Fun
Snickerdoodle Blondies with Cinnamon Ice Cream
I follow Go Dairy Free on Twitter and awhile back they tweeted the following recipe: Snickerdoodle Blondies I thought it sounded amazing and made a half batch on Sunday. Other than halving the recipe I made it as written except I used Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer instead of an egg. I paired the blondies with… Continue reading Snickerdoodle Blondies with Cinnamon Ice Cream
