This is probably the BEST banana bread I have ever made. No joke. You will be shocked when I tell you it’s completely gluten free, dairy free, and egg free! I used rolled oats and almond flour to give it the perfect crunchy outside, and still some texture on the inside. This banana bread is …
Valentine’s Day is tomorrow and it snowed 9 inches in Seattle last night. I like the snow, but I’m the kinda person who likes to watch it form the window. Preferably while baking cookies. These cookies are packed full of fiber with ingredients like chia seeds, oat flour, whole rolled oats, and almond flour. Studies …
It’s that time of year! Time for sprinkles, gingerbread men, colorful frosting, and lots of sweet tasting treats. Along with these wonderful things brings feelings of warm fuzzy nostalgia, but sometimes can also bring on a bad stomach ache. What I love most about using (mostly) whole food ingredients, is the fact that products still …
Depending on when you read this, the entire west coast of the United States is covered in smoke. The wildfires this year have been so devastating, and I emphasize with anyone who is affected by them. There is no doubt that global warming is happening, and we need to accept this fact so we can …

This sauce is so easy with just five ingredients, but so …

If you could bottle happiness, it may just smell the way these muffins do as they are baking away in the oven. I’m seriously DROOLING even thinking about it. When I was pregnant with Hudson I used to CRAVE banana bread. It was to the point where I needed one almost every morning with my …
When I was little, I remember my mom taking me along to go shopping at the mall. Bless her for putting up with me. All I remember was hiding in the middle of clothing racks and complaining about how bored I was. The highlight of these trips was that once in a while we got …
Confession… I freaking love sweets. Chocolate mouse, cookies, cakes, muffins, you name it. I love dessert so much that I had to come up with a creative way to work it into my daily meals and snacks without going overboard. Now don’t get me wrong, there are definitely times to indulge in full-force treats. Birthdays, …
