Carrot Cake Smoothie

Carrot cake has got to be in my top 5 of favorite cakes. From the spices of cinnamon to the crunchy textures of nuts and carrots, there is nothing that will stand in the way of me and carrot cake.

That’s why I love recipe testing with carrot cake ingredients. One of the most popular recipes on the blog are these carrot cake pancakes. The post also includes a fun waffle variation if you are team #waffles.

But this smoothie version really takes the cake! (no pun intended)

Magic Bar Cookie Skillet

As I was packing food supplies for my winter retreat, I noticed that I didn’t have anything for dessert. Who doesn’t think about packing dessert!? But I didn’t want to bring a lot of ingredients to make something homemade so that’s when I came up with an idea to make “a cookie skillet in a jar”! All the dry ingredients are in a jar. Just bring one egg and coconut oil and you are all set!

Healthy Strawberry Brown Rice Krispie Treats

Chai Spiced Sweet Potato Chocolate Chip Muffins

Growing up as a kid, we didn’t eat sweet potatoes often. The few times we did, it was usually in the form of  sweet potato casseroles or sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving. Now that I’m older, I can’t get enough of them.

That’s why, regardless of the weather, I wanted to create a super cozy and comforting sweet potato muffin made with chocolate chips (because why not!?) and chai spice!

If you can’t tell from my Instagram, I use this chai spice seasoning on almost everything. Before diving into this muffin recipe, you should totally whip up this amazing chai spice seasoning if you haven’t done so already, then we can get to cooking!

Fudgy Paleo Brownies

Growing up, brownies were my least favorite dessert. Maybe because the flavors were too rich or the texture was too dry, but nonetheless, I stopped eating them. Of course I would get the judgy looks and sneers but hey, they didn’t taste good to me! That is, until I had a fudgy vegan brownie at this bakery in Atlanta and I was floored! It was like the heavens opened up with arms wide open and sucked me in!
