I have so many friends that love peanut butter and chocolate combinations and are always looking for an option that using whole foods, is gluten and or dairy-free. This Chocolate Peanut Buttercup Pie is the perfect solution! It meets your need for that sweet chocolate and salty peanut butter craving while using real ingredients and free of refined sugars or processed foods.
So, I love food and I love snacking! However, in working with clients with their nutritional planning I find all too often that people have an unhealthy relationship with snacking.
There is something about the smell of ginger cookies baking that just makes my house smell like Christmas. Now I like a good gingersnap cookie as good as the next person but I am a huge fan of the softer ginger cookies that melt in your mouth. My issue with most of them is they are loaded with cups of white sugar, oil and or butter to achieve that texture. I have played around with a few recipes in hopes to master all the components of a good ginger cookie while still keeping it nutritious.
Cakes, Cupcakes, and Brownies can look naked without a little frosting on top. However, your basic frosting recipe can pack on a lot of sugar and calories pushing your daily sugar intake over the edge. As always, I talk about balance and finding ways to take those foods we LOVE to eat and making them whole-foods based.
Fall is not fall without a slice of pumpkin pie. Honestly, if I see there is pumpkin pie I have to enjoy a slice.. or two. Now canned pumpkin puree
Enter.. a new rhubarb garden recipe! The sweetness of the blueberries pairs lovely with the tart rhubarb. I have adapted the recipes several times finding ways to reduce the sugar more and more and still have it be a lovely treat. Also adding in plant-based protein, fiber, and healthy fats help to balance these bars to move from a dessert to a healthy snack. This also helps to slow blood-sugar spikes that can occur when consuming fruits. I will enjoy one with my morning smoothie or as a 3 pm snack when you feel your energy crashing.
