Sunbutter Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are perfect when you want a sweet snack that won’t blow your sugar quota for the day. In fact, they contain absolutely no added sugar! Dates are naturally very sweet and offer a hearty texture to hold these cookies together. They’re also quite chewy (not as chewy as […]

 

Salted Tahini Chocolate Chunk Cookies (Paleo)

If you love a chewy chocolate chip cookie, (thinking about those fresh baked Mrs. Fields cookies we used to get in high school. Why were those sold at school?! Do they still do that??) I think you’ll like this healthier version. The tahini gives them a rich, gooey cookie dough […]

 

Matcha Bars

For me, matcha was an acquired taste. I can only handle it in a tea with lots of vanilla almond milk to cut the bitterness. Using it in recipes makes it much more palatable, and the bright green color is pretty awesome. When I was in the blitz phase of […]

 

Honey-Ginger Chicken Thighs

Once I finally tried a properly cooked chicken thigh, I never went back to buying chicken breasts again! There is so much more flavor, thanks to the additional fat in the meat. (Thighs have about three times more fat than chicken breasts.) If you’re still stuck in the “low-fat” mentality […]

Mind-blowing Meatballs

Spaghetti with meat sauce has been a regular favorite at our house, but I’ve grown tired of it. It doesn’t feel special enough, and for some reason, I don’t love it for leftovers. I’ve been all about the “cook once, eat 2-3 times” strategy, because lately it feels like I’m… […]

 

Lasagna Bolognese (gluten free, dairy free)

This lasagna recipe doesn’t fit in with my typical “30 minutes or less” mantra, but if you have two hours on a weekend, this is the recipe that keeps on giving all week. Most American lasagnas tend to be very cheesy (ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, etc). While that’s insanely good, the […]

 

Strawberry Rhubarb Muffins (gluten free, dairy free)

I’m pretty sure if I entered these into a baking contest they would win. I’m not much of a baker—savory’s more my jam. And with all the sugar my kids are bombarded with on a daily basis, I’m usually looking for ways to slash anything sweet (yay, Mom). These muffins […]
