I’m going to (try my best to) keep this post simple and to the point, just like this recipe… simple and to the point! As you may already know, I like simple recipes…not too intricate, minimal ingredients, and limited effort required. Sometimes I wish I had a little more ambition to make all those complicated

Almond Flour Strawberry Cake
I love fruit. All fruit… seriously, there isn’t a fruit I don’t like… except maybe cantaloupe.. (nobody likes poor cantaloupe), but if I HAD to pick a favorite… it would be berries. Yes, I know, “berries” includes a lot of different types, but frankly I just can’t narrow it down to just one berry,

Roasted Cinnamon Sweet Potato Soup
The hubby and I are just about a full week into our challenge and we managed to survive Ukrainian Christmas!! It was very tough to say no to the perogies, cabbage rolls, and other delicious Ukrainian dishes, but we stayed strong and stuck to our plan! We even passed on the homemade cake pops and

Banana Bread Muffins with Almond Butter Filling
Merry Christmas Eve Day! This is probably my favorite day of the Christmas season.

If you

Shockingly I am somewhat new to the world of spaghetti squash! I can’t say I have it a lot, and I have no idea why!! It’s so delicious, and such a perfect pasta substitute! I ate this for dinner last night, and I have to say – my serving of 1 cup of spaghetti

Meatless Monday: Mashed Chickpea & Pesto Sandwich
This sandwich reminds me of a chicken salad or egg salad sandwich; it has a rich, creamy texture, and is very filling, BUT it’s vegetarian and can be dairy free (if there is no parmesan in the pesto you choose)! The avocado mixed with the mashed chickpeas creates a creamy-like texture, which is a much

Meatless Monday: ‘Clean Eating’ Fried Rice
Fried rice is always a delicious and filling dish.. but not always the healthiest. Most often, it is overloaded with sodium, high in fat and calories, and made with refined white rice.. booooo! This fried rice recipe is adapted from the Clean Eating Magazine. This magazine is always a great read. Recently a friend,
