Hi all,
These blackberry & blueberry pancakes are just to thing for any and all lazy, romantic, delicious weekend brunching. Anyone who has looked through my other recipes will be unsurprised at seeing yet another pancake recipe this week. I do have a slight love affair with them in any and nearly all flavors. (To name my favorites: Matcha and Raspberry, Pumpkin Oat, Paleo Carrot Banana, and finally, Pumpkin Pie pancakes).
Now adding onto the list of my favorites, these dark berried pancakes are lightly sweet, juicy, moist and totally tasty. They are grain-free, lactose-free and sugar-free. And yet taste, bite for bite, like the pancakes you would find in any high quality restaurant except that these are awesome for your health!
Did you know that buckwheat is actually a fruit seed? Its not a grain at all, instead coming from the same family as rhubarb. And, did you further know that buckwheat is amazing for your body!?! Good for cardiovascular system, helps control blood sugar and may lower ones risk of diabetes, helps in preventing gallstones, and has health promoting potential that is equal to or even higher than that of some fruits and vegetables. How cool is that?

Named after one of my favorite European cities. Edinburgh making me think of words like…dark…romantic…lovely…haunting…misty…soot covered…magical. This French Toast is sweet, ever so subtly spiced, fluffy, and totally tasty. Making for a special, impressive, yet shockingly easy brunch/breakfast entrée. Impress your friends and family with this one, all while moaning in deliciousness every bite.

Happy Sunday, all!
As you know, Matcha is having a moment right now. Majorly trendy and for good reason. Its amazing for your health. Boosting all sorts of benefits such as: helping to clear skin, strengthening immune system, increasing energy. The list goes on.

Matcha also tastes awesome when paired with chocolate, as well as with berries. To name two of the fabulous pairings with this superfood discovered within my own cooking and baking experiments. Matcha French Toast and Matcha Pancakes with Raspberry and Chocolate Chips, two bombastic dishes within the last couple of months.
Hi all,
Have I got a fun little (almost) Friday recipe for you. Just seven ingredients for this nourishing, oh-so-yum banana bread. The recipe is lactose-free and almost refined sugar-free (save for the chocolate chips).

Hi all,
Ready to get your glow on with these sweet, delicious, childhood nostalgic treats? Plant based and loaded with filling, glow-inducing ingredients, along with just 5 minutes to make, you cannot go wrong with these guys. They taste like a dessert but are GREAT for you!

Happy Saturday, Everyone!
I have a recipe for you that hits all the major checkmarks of an awesome dish. Ready for it? This one takes less then five minutes to make, its gluten-free, sugar-free, lactose-free, raw, AND mouthwateringly yummy. I bet I have your attention now. Oh, the cherry on top: only five items needed to make it.
The story behind this traditional Swedish dessert is that upon having spotted someone at the end of the lane making their way to your home, you could throw this cake together and have it coming hot out of the oven, just in time for their arrival.
This cake is simple, lovely, REALLY tasty, lightly sweet. Oh man. I was shocked by how delicious it was, considering the simplicity with regard the ingredients. Don’t take my word for it though. Whip up the batter, toss the cake in the oven and enjoy a slice with your next mug of tea or coffee. You will thank me later.

Hi all,
I know, with Spring underfoot, you are likely thinking of flavors more along the lines of fruity, light, juicy, and with just the barest hints of sweet. I am too. I am awaiting the summery season with bated breath. However in the meantime, there are still several more chilly winter(ish) weekends remaining and for those, I am a strong advocate for all things pumpkin. One of my favorite ingredients with which to cook. Pumpkin is the bomb. You can make SO many mouthwatering things with this delicious addition. The list is endless, but to name a few: Pumpkin cookies, pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin macaroni and cheese, pumpkin bread, pumpkin risotto, etc.
Pumpkin is not only awesome for your health but its homey and delicious. In fact on its own, pumpkin doesn’t have a strong taste, so its easy to stir into loads of different things without being overwhelmed by intense flavor. Pumpkin is a more mild form of deliciousness.

Here is my super duper easy recipe for pumpkin cookies. Its refined sugar-free and lactose-free. Enjoy!
As the days gradually grow warmer, granted they are taking their sweet time in doing so, I am a firm believer that milder temperatures call for something fruity and light. Fruity and light coincides perfectly with the ushering in of the summer season.
Behold, my berry tart. A super cinch to make and, if this is any validation, the entire thing was polished off in one sitting at my tea party this past weekend 😉
