All-Natural Almond Butter 0

A while ago I tried all-natural peanut butter and fell in love. No salt, no preservatives, just peanuts and so delicious! I think that since I have made the switch from the preservative-ladden to the kind with just one ingredient, my obsession with peanut butter has got even worse. So it’s no surprise that I [...]

Buttermilk Quick Bread! 0

To some, the term “quick bread” might seem like somewhat of an oxymoron. The kneading, the time to rise, time to bake… there’s nothing quick about baking a loaf of bread. That’s why I am so happy to have found this recipe for quick bread! The wonderful thing about this recipe is that not only [...]

Cinnamon Brown Butter Puffs! 0

What a delicious name! “Puffs”… it just sounds so divine and yummy! Well guess what! They are! Somehow, each time I commit myself to eating right and limiting sweets, coincidentally it’s always around the same time I’ll run into a recipe like this. Warm, light, fluffy puffs covered in brown butter and cinnamon goodness…. mmmmmmm! [...]

Rice Krispy Treats! 0

I’ve never met anyone who didn’t love Rice Krispy treats. They are a classic and have been a part of everyone’s childhood. The other day I picked one up from a coffee shop near my work and was so disappointed when I bit into it. What I tasted was way below my expectations. And so [...]

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies 0

I know, I know… I’m sorry! I’ve been a little MIA the past little while. But I’m back and I brought yummy treats to make it up to you! Last night I was home alone for what felt like the first time in months. After a particularly difficult week, I was looking forward to a [...]

Blissful Blueberry Muffins 0

Each and every time I post a recipe I realize that I have a slight obsession with  cakes, scones, muffins and cookies… oh well! Here’s another muffin recipe! I went out for brunch on Sunday (as I do most Sundays) then strolled over to Atwater Market to let myself be tempted by all the fresh [...]

Sweet Sunday Scones! 0

There’s nothing better on a Sunday morning than something warm from the oven! Actually, there is. Something warm from the oven on a Sunday morning that is actually good for you! And leave it to my girl Candice Kumai to come up with this recipe for the perfect sweet Sunday scones! These babies are so [...]

Blueberry Coconut Macadamia Muffins 0

So yes I am doing the Sugar-Free Challenge, and yes I stumbled a few times. Actually I fell square off the wagon… more than once. But I generally didn’t have a problem cutting out the sugar from my diet. I figured this was a way for me to adopt great eating habits and splurging on [...]

Goodbye Suga’! 2

Last week I signed a deal with the devil. I signed up for the One Month Sugar Free Challenge organized by Fuck Cancer. The challenge officially starts today! I’ve always wanted to do the give-up-sugar-for-a-month thing, but every time I tried, I failed. I mean, I can openly admit that I have an addiction. How [...]

Get Me Some Greek! 0

One of my more recent culinary obsession takes the form of Greek yogurt. Now, the weird thing is that I never liked Greek yogurt before. So weird how one day you suddenly decide to try something and love it! And honestly, when it comes to Greek yogurt, what’s not to love. It’s fat free, loaded [...]
