Quarantine has got us going absolutely CRAZY for these treats – we can’t tell you how many times we have made these! So we just had to share this delicacy that is healthy and (shhh, don’t tell anyone) that we ate a whole batch of in one day! I think […]

Coconut cake has always been one of our favorite sweet treats – but usually when we make it, we don’t want to use three sticks of butter and two cups of sugar. We also did not like how the cake was best the first day*. So, what was our solution? […]
We love getting food inspiration from our favorite sweet treats, for an almond joy bar was the inspiration for our healthy chocolate coconut bars. Our mom absolutely loves carrot cake and it is one of our favorites as well so we have taken inspiration from it and made carrot cake […]
We love Italian food and are always inspired by what we eat to recreate it at home, but since we are vegetarians we cannot eat meatballs. We know they are a staple of Italian cooking so we decided to make them vegan with a healthy twist and lots of […]
We love fun colored food and this beet gnocchi is our perfect fix especially since it is naturally pink! This gnocchi is perfect for Valentine’s Day (or really any other day!!) and instead of celebrating by exchanging chocolate or sweets with our family and friends, we thought that we should […]
2020 is here! That means a new year, new goals, and more food. We wanted to do a recap of our year for you and share our New Years resolutions. This year was crazy, what with moving and starting a new school. In 2019, the cooking world presented us with […]
One of our favorite things to experiment with in the baking world is banana bread – of course, we try and make this healthy, gluten free, sugar free, and more all at the same time. And although this may be difficult, we have perfected banana bread. So we asked ourselves: […]
This pie is so good and we love that it’s healthy so you know you can have 2 or more helpings! What makes it healthy? It’s free of any refined sugars and we use whole and nutritious ingredients. We use dates to sweeten this and it’s really good and perfectly sweet. […]
Hi all! We had a crazy couple of days this past week. While baking this delicious pumpkin pie that was both gf and healthy, our oven started smoking and almost caught on fire. The best part was – Emily was in the shower and had to quickly get out to […]
There’s something about being served a warm bowl of flavorful veggies that you just want to curl up on the couch and watch your favorite show. Well, every time we eat this, that is exactly what we do. We love the fall combinations of sweet potato that we grab fresh […]
Adding to our fall collection – Healthy Apple Cider Donuts! The perfect blend of spices with the extra boost of apple from BOTH apple cider and apple sauce. These light and fluffy donuts get a coating of cinnamon sugar and melt in your mouth. It’s hard to stop eating them […]
Yes, it may be fall, but that doesn’t mean that everything needs to be pumpkin! We make these Brownie Bliss Balls all the time and love how versatile they are. Whether you roll them in cocoa or coconut or eat them plain, they melt in your mouth. The perfect snack […]
On any hot summer day, all you want to do is grab a refreshing, healthy snack. This Pear and Nectarine “Apple” Sauce is not only that, but super simple and perfect for a snack for school! You can whip it up, eat, then go right back to being outside or […]
Hi everyone! This summer has seemed to fly by – we have had so much going on. We finished up our lacrosse in mid July and were sad to say goodbye to our New Jersey team. Oh yeah! We are moving! We finished packing up our house a week or […]
One of the endless things we love about summer is that we can cook all day every day. And because we have a grocery market right down the way from us, we go looking for new ingredients. But when we saw the string beans and how good they looked, we […]
We find that one of the greatest things about burgers is that they are so versatile with what you can put on them. These Kale Quinoa Burgers are delicious served with anything you like, and they still retain their awesome flavor and a perfect hint of spice. We love ours […]
In the summertime we look for cold desserts because we find them most refreshing in the heat, and we find coconut to be a perfect fix. If you didn’t already know though we are HUGE chocoholics and we have to get our chocolate fix in, so we thought why not […]
Our favorite summer salad veggies with the absolute best dressing! We love all the creaminess that comes from this salad. The seared avocado has a little crunch on the outside, but is creamy and smooth on the inside along with perfect soft boiled eggs. And the almonds and cucumber add […]
Almost every week we whip these up in the hectic morning for a super healthy, easy, and tasty breakfast. Who doesn’t love peanut butter and banana – especially in pancake form! We also enjoy taking them for lunch as a pancake stack with peanut butter layered in between. Top with […]
We are so excited to share this delicious recipe using Banza chickpea rice! This is by far our favorite gf (and regular!) pasta brand and when they came out with this rice – we we fell in love! Paired with a sauce we whipped up one day and some other […]
