A classic carrot cake experience without all the baking, sugars and animal products. The cake is sweetened with prunes and raisins, filled with raw shredded carrots, and topped with a raisin-sweetened frosting. I have 2 new Easter dessert recipes for you. Exciting! The first: cake pops.
Remember the Dole recipe contest I mentioned last week? I got started my entry on Sunday morning with the full intention of grilling bananas, pineapple and tempeh, but the hot weather distracted me and I ended up with cups of ice cream. I didn’t even get as far as preheating the grill! Darn you bananas…
There are certain days when a girl just needs her chocolate and yesterday was one of those days for me. Why I didn’t just have a handful of chocolate chips and be done with it is beyond me. Sometimes I over complicate things… I think it’s the Taurus in me. My chocolate themed day began…
I wanted to do something different for Thanksgiving dessert this year. My Grandma’s Thanksgiving dessert specialty are butter tarts, my Mom’s is definitely pumpkin pie, and my sister makes a mean pumpkin crepe.

It’s finally starting to feel like Spring around here. We’ve had a couple of Spring showers, and I even got to walk the dogs at 8pm last night with NO JACKET. Yay! Best part about Spring? Landscaping! We moved into our house just under a year ago and currently have a dirt mud pit for…
Have you ever set out to do something to benefit your health only to realize it’s made you absolutely miserable? Story of my life last week. I began my yeast killing plan last Saturday with the best intentions, but by Tuesday I was exhausted, stressed, consumed by guilt, and craving anything I could get my…
I’m happy to report I had Apple Cinnamon Overnight Oats yesterday for breakfast and my tummy was as happy as could be. It was definitely the caprylic acid supplement that did me in on Saturday. In other news, I have today off and couldn’t be more excited about it. My plan today: Spin class +…
