I made this carrot cake for Christmas dinner this year and it was a HIT! So I want to share it with you. Because it’s no-bake, it’s also got much less margin for error (anyone out there with me?!)- and the major time constraint will be how long you let it freeze and set. You’ll make most of this recipe

Love mashed potatoes? You’ll probably love these (I hope!). I first tried these in Paris, and at first I was TOTALLY weirded out about them, but when I tried them, it was love at first bite. Here’s how the story went… I was in Paris and was asking for some veggies. I was denied “veggies” but was offered this mash

Have your eggs and cheese too! Just because I can’t eat eggs and cheese doesn’t meant that you shouldn’t, and in fact, eggs are a great source of MANY good-for-you nutrients, like lutein (good for your eyes), choline (good for your brain), protein, vitamins A and C… and so much more. Over time, eggs have been scrutinized for so many

I love the fresh, delicious flavor of gingerbread… …but these cookies were kinda boring, so I jazzed them up with some AB & J! During the holidays gingerbread is all the rage – and these cookies are pretty good, but even BETTER with my added twist of almond butter and jelly for some extra sweetness. These cookies are dairy free,

I’m obsessed with Brussels sprouts, simply obsessed. If you’ve ever had dinner with me between the months of October and march, you KNOW that there’s usually an extra side of roasted Brussels sprouts somewhere on the table.

I really love pasta. As a kid pasta was my favorite food. This is pretty close, although not totally on target… it’s not far off. In fact, I feel like it’s the best version of the “alternatives.” For me, zucchini noodles are too wet, and gluten free pasta is too heavy, so I like to use this spaghetti squash instead

So

Desserts, YES! We love healthy, delicious, feel-good desserts. What do we love even more? When you can make them in 5 mins or less.

The chewy sweet flavor found in dates pairs perfectly with the nutty taste from almond butter,
