Grinch Superfood Banana Muffins
We're into the holiday baking people and I'm oh so excited! I always love a good festive recipe and this is not an exception from that rule, ha! But obviously I had to incorporate SUPERFOOD into my banana bread muffins. These Grinch Superfood Banana Bread Muffins are grain & gluten free, sugar free, and packed with deliciousness. I'm personally going to make them on Christmas morning, and maybe throw some chocolate it the mix to make them even more of a delicious healthy holiday treat! They could even make for a wonderful gift for someone if you package them cute, too! [gallery...
Grain Free Pumpkin Granola
Let's be honest, who doesn't LOVE a good granola? Extra crunchy, salty and sweet all at the same time = pure heaven! This grain free pumpkin granola checks ALL of the boxes, and it's actually super duper, extra freaking easy to make as well! It's perfect for the fall season, and I'm also going to add in a humble brag here: it's NICK APPROVED! Like, extra Nick approved you guys. He tasted it and immediately goes "Don't post this on your blog, you need to sell this, it's crack." LOL. Obviously I didn't listen because I will ALWAYS share my recipes...
Healthy Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Shocker alert: I made another pumpkin recipe! To be specific, healthy pumpkin cinnamon rolls! I know you all love it just as much as I do so they will continue to come until December hits in which case my holiday themed dishes will be in full FORCE! Cinnamon rolls have always been a decadent morning treat, one that really has always transported me to the holiday and colder months to be specific. I thought, hmmm why don’t we make these for Thanksgiving morning? But make them healthy so they can count as a nutritious breakfast too? With that, the gluten free,...
Better-for-You (Broccoli) Hash Browns
If you're anything like me, then broccoli is probably one of your go-to veggies to prepare, ALWAYS. A bad thing? Not necessarily. Boring? Most likely! Of course there are different seasonings you can prepare your broccoli with, but how about different forms? I was thinking about all the different uses of cauliflower the other day and thought, hey - broccoli probably has those same abilities considering the texture and shape! With this thought, I got experimenting! [gallery type="masonry" columns="2" size="large" ids="2429,2432"] Broccoli, But Better! Especially if you're a mom, I think you will be OBSESSING over this recipe. It's a way for you...
Carrot Cake Bliss Balls
It's April which obviously means that Easter (or Passover) is right around the corner! For me, Easter means Carrot Cake - literally one of my favorite items to eat on earth! Carrots in general are one of my favorite foods if I'm being honest. I've been on a real carrot kick lately and I'm not mad about it. Actually, I'm pretty damn excited about it because you guys will LOVE these Carrot Cake Bliss Balls! I love Carrots & I Carrot Lie! On a level of one to cheesy how corny was that title?! LOL. I love a good pun. But...
Cozy AF Cauliflower ‘Oatmeal’
Welcome to my new FAVE breakfast: Cauliflower "Oatmeal." It's the most cozy, perfect breakfast for the winter. If we're being honest though, I would have this every day of the year. It's also one of the most simple recipes ever and a one pot meal - is there anything better? I think NOT! Oatmeal, Elevated Typical oatmeal packs on average 6g fiber, 8g protein and 45g net carbs. I'm always aiming to get as much fiber (min. 20g) and protein (min. 20g) in my breakfast. I truly do look at it as the most important meal of the day. This rendition of...
Five Second Raspberry Chia Jam
Happy Monday ya'll!! Don't ask me why I'm chatting like I'm from the south, but it's always fun to talk with a southern twang, am I right?! I'm feeling SUPER motivated for December and had such an amazing weekend doing all things meal prep and self care. One of those things included making this INSANELY easy raspberry chia seed jam. The jam is refined sugar free (unlike pretty much ALL store bought jams), and only has four ingredients. I'll Chia You Sooner Than Later! What is not to love about chia seeds? You know I love my fiber, and chia seeds pack...
Healthy Pumpkin Donuts
Sweets play a huge role in my life, and I typically like to start my day off on a sweet note as well. This fall, I've been craving warm recipes constantly vs. my typical smoothie bowl or greek yogurt bowl. More specifically - PUMPKIN DONUTS! Something about the smell of pumpkin spice donuts through the house makes for an amazing start to the day. Call me basic with all of these pumpkin/fall themed recipes, but I just can't help it! Specifically, I remember always LOVING going pumpkin picking and getting the pumpkin spice donuts as a special treat. One thing I...
PurelyPope Bagel Recipe
Lately I've been a sweets FEEN - what's new, right? But yesterday morning, I woke up craving something savory. Specifically, a savory, yet healthy bagel. A PURELYPOPE BAGEL! HALLELUJAH! I was inspired the other day to buy a donut pan on Amazon, and it arrived just in time. For future - you can find the one I bought here, and it's so CUTE. Comes with two trays, one in bright orange and one in bright pink. SOLD! I already had the tray to do it, so I thought, why not whip up a quick bagel recipe? After all, I had...
