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 [...]

Fresh Breakfast Bread 1

What is it about weekend mornings that make baking so good! While most reserve their Sunday mornings for the freshly baked breakfasts and spend Saturdays running around, I would rather welcome the weekend with warm baked goodness straight from the oven! While keeping with my New Year’s resolution of trying one new recipe each week, [...]

Quinoa Cranberry Tofu Salad 1

Don’t let the name fool you! This salad is absolutely delicious and oh so nutritious. You’ve probably heard about quinoa before. The seed is gaining in popularity and for all the right reasons. Although it’s considered a grain, it’s actually related to leafy green veggies like spinach and Swiss chard. And the health benefits of [...]
