REAL TALK: I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed this week.  To be expected really, 3 weeks out from a book release. It feels like I have so much to do (for the book, work, traveling tomorrow, and a sick babe this week). Normal things, that everyone goes through. But last night I called myself out. Because […]

The snack ball. Otherwise known as secret freezer weapons. I mean, I’ve always been a fan. And how can you not? They’re quick, easy, stay fresh for months in the freezer, and are packed full of great healthy fat, protein, minerals and SUBSTANCE when you don’t have time to think too hard about getting something […]

The green smoothie has been summer-ized. Cuz it’s time for some ice ice baby. Shusheeeeeees for all. But, you know. Upgraded this time. Because why should kids have all the summer fun? The Coconut-Chocolate Green Slushie Makes 1 delicious serving 2-4 cups organic spinach 1/4 to 1/2 frozen banana 2 tablespoons coconut butter/coconut manna (I […]

So last week, I got a call that I’d never refuse. That Molly Moon’s ice cream needed a little winter recipe fun for their new take-home pints. And, would I be interested? I mean, come on. When life gives you beautiful, artisanal ice cream, you take it. Especially when it’s pumpkin clove season. So today, my […]

When the topic is chocolate, there’s no point in messing around today. It’s serious business. Let’s get right to it. You almost don’t need me to tell you why you should make this recipe, because, let’s be honest. It’s CHOCOLATE. And on a healthy blog, which means GUILT FREE. See? I know you. It’s like getting […]

A cookie you can feel great about eating for breakfast is my kind of cookie. Also in that category of things that are my jam– any cookie that actually comes out well enough that other people like it too. I’m not exaggerating. I have no shame about it. Baking is not my forte. All those rules […]

It’s been about 3 years since I’ve been gluten-free [the root-cause cure for my out-of-nowhere, un-curable-by-medication, hypothyroidism]. People always ask me if I miss it, with a very concerned look on their face. No. Never, actually, I say. Because to be honest, nothing will ever taste as good as being medication free. And like I’m […]

  When I first found this recipe [here], I kind of laughed. By myself. At my computer. A nerdy little chuckle. Pureed cashews? Yeah right. That’s going to be chunky and taste weird. Those vegans. My god. Their tastebuds are so clean, they think anything tastes good. Lucky ducks. But then, it started. The smarty pants […]

This is for real: don’t read this post unless you’re fine with a new addiction. Because, these. These grain-free, refined sugar-free, gluten-free, egg-free and dairy free treats are my favorite things to keep around as of late. And, with so much good stuff in them (coconut oil, walnuts, chia seeds and nut butter for great healthy fats and […]

Selling like hot cakes! Get your tickets here! This Saturday. 11am. Seattle. You. Me. Food. Chocolate. Hot Cakes. I mean, what else could you possibly want? So, join me, for the 1st time ever.   This Saturday 4/26, I’m taking over the amazing line-always-out-the-door Seattle based molten cakery shop for the afternoon, talking real food […]

I know it sounds weird. This is not a guacamole dessert. I promise. But just like avocados that get blended into green smoothies, you can’t really taste it. Blended avocado often just makes recipes a bit more creamy + decadent. Healthy too. And satisfying because of it’s great healthy fat content. But without any guilt, […]

Wait right there. You don’t have to scroll down to double check. I’ll admit it. The dark chocolate + sea salt combo is back again for a 2nd post. I just can’t help it. But, this one is different. It has almonds too. and toffee. Figgy pudding, sch-muding. These are the real holiday goods. If […]
