The White Devil Unless you’ve been completely disconnected from reality, you know that the sugar skeleton is finally out of the nutrition closet. It’s worse than gluten, it’s worse than dairy, and yes, it’s even worse than fat.

Eat like a rabbit My family celebrates Easter, and I celebrate any excuse to make treats. And of course I’m always on a mission to satisfy my sweet tooth in a healthier way, using real, whole foods ingredients and as little sugar (never refined of course) as possible. So this weekend, I was back at […]

Chocolate is a superpower So as I mentioned in my recent apple pie smoothie post, I’ve been rebalancing my gut. And in order to do so, I had to stick to warm foods, meaning no traditional ice-based smoothies. BUT I figured out a hack to this breakfast obstacle: the warm smoothie. 

The Warm Apple Pie Smoothie Project For my warm apple pie smoothie project, I wanted to find the best way to get the fresh-out of the oven warm apple pie vibe. I figured I could bake the apple, which would work just fine I’m sure. 

It’s supposed to be spring now, so even though the weather is holding out on us, I’m channeling all the spring vibes in the kitchen, because I’m way beyond ready for it! So, the other day I experimented with a raw key lime pie and it was amazing. And since then I can’t stop making […]

Homemade nut butter: Back to basics Before deciding to come up with some kind of raw Chocolate-Hazelnut Pie as the finale for my week-long sugar-free chocolate challenge, I had never attempted to make homemade nut butter. But I decided that homemade nutella was obviously the only way to move forward with this pie, so I got to work researching […]

My love affair with cupcakes And in this sugar-free chocolate series, we get to my favorite-ever treat: cupcakes! My love affair with cupcakes goes way back. I remember baking them in grade school for my birthday, and I loved when anyone else brought them in; this was back in the day before rampant food allergies ruined […]

The Brownie Project So I obviously needed to include brownies in my week of sugar-free chocolate treats. But the brownie project proved to be a bit stubborn. After a couple close-but-not-quite attempts, I decided to try a different tack and go with a raw bite rendition of the classic chocolate treat.

Intense Chocolate A dense, brownie-like cookie. A dark chocolate cookie-like brownie bite. How about a deep dark chocolate brookie bite? Whatever you want to call them, these miraculous treats go way deep with the chocolateyness.
