These chocolate dipped olive oil biscotti are a healthier variation of this traditional Italian cookie (what could be more Italian than olive oil). These Biscotti are high in fiber, contain omega three, and are made from a base of sprouted spelt flour. A hint of olive oil pairs lovingly with dark chocolate and the nutty flavor of spelt... an all around delicious adaptation of this well-loved ...

Chocolate Matcha Tea Cupcakes [vegan]
This week, I'm taking the traditional chocolate cupcake to *ahem* greener pastures over on BAKED the Blog. Not that there is anything wrong with a good, old fashioned chocolate cupcake, however, there's something to be said for combining chocolate and matcha green tea. If you caught my baking with Matcha tutorial on BAKED earlier this week, you're hopefully feeling inspired to give it a try. The ...
Banana Bread Breakfast Cookies
A Banana bread -chocolate chip cookie hybrid which makes for quick and healthy snacking for you or your little ones. Made with spelt flour and sweetened with bananas and maple syrup. Make these banana bread cookies ahead of time so you have a quick breakfast if you snooze a little too hard on a Monday morning! Recipe development is not an easy task. Often, I set out to ...
Holiday Chocolate Bundt Cake w/ Peppermint Ganache [vegan]
Happy Holidays! Can you believe it's already December 19th? This girl is still a tad in shock! It's snowing a boatload on the island, and I'm so happy to be back inside from shoveling, what is in essence, wet cement! Every year around Christmas time, I look forward to making some sort of elaborate sweet creation; the holidays are my time to shine in the kitchen and the time when ...
DAIRY FREE MAGIC SHELL ICE CREAM BARS w/ TOASTED ALMOND
Oh my gosh. We all had a little bit of heaven last night as we bit into these amazingly dairy-free ice cream bars. Not only were they delicious, they were so much fun to make. Watching the warm chocolate suddenly harden around the cold ice cream bars was mesmerizing. We ate them all, obvs. I have been working on a homemade dairy free vanilla ice cream for a while, and was actually ...
VEGAN VANILLA CUPCAKES w/ CHOCOLATE LAVENDER FROSTING
Oh, the changes a year can bring! It was this time last year that the inspiration to start blogging came about. A few months later, I bought my domain and started writing, styling and photographing; a passion I never knew I had. I've learned so much in the last year, and not just about cameras, the logistics of blogging...or how to survive on little to no sleep as a new parent! For those of you ...
ADAPTOGENIC CHOCOLATE REISHI WELLNESS BLEND
The last few days I've been quite under the weather with a very unexpected cold that hit our home. I rarely fall prey to the common cold or flu, but this past winter has proven anything but easy on my immune system. I speculate it can be attributed to having a harsh and lengthy winter on the West Coast, a very cold/slow start to spring, and being a somewhat sleep deprived new parent. Moreover, ...
DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BANANA BREAD
One of the very first recipes I made growing up was banana bread. Back then, I thought making quick-bread from a box was considered 'baking from scratch'. Granted, I was only 6 and had never even turned on the oven, let alone actually bake anything from square one. Regardless, my mom was lovingly impressed with my effort and my courage to grab that box of mix from the depths of the pantry ...
