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 …
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 …

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.
