Keeping up with the breakfast muffin trend, when my sister asked me to make some healthy breakfast muffins, I originally went with banana zucchini. However, my idea to use coconut flour in the muffins just didn't turn out well. The muffins were dense, did not cook fully and were just a disaster. The taste however, … Continue reading Banana Zucchini Muffins – Gluten Free!

Carrot Oat Muffins – Gluten Free
My sister recently asked me to make some healthy breakfast muffins for her and my nephews.

At first I was googling recipes on conventional gluten … Continue reading Carrot Oat Muffins – Gluten Free
Oatmeal Coconut Pecan Cookies

Maple Walnut Fudge
I love fudge. One of my favorite things to do when visiting small country towns in Texas is to go to the local fudge shops and try their homemade fudge. Of course, conventional fudge is all butter, cream and sugar. And I'm not gonna lie, that's what makes it taste so good! But just because … Continue reading Maple Walnut Fudge

Spicy Jalapeno Green Olive Hummus
Another great hummus mixture! It has such a great flavor, low fat and so healthy for you! I have made this hummus both with navy beans and garbanzo beans. Navy beans a bit more creamy in texture, and garbanzo beans are drier, so the choice is up to you, both work perfectly! You can also … Continue reading Spicy Jalapeno Green Olive Hummus

I came up a … Continue reading Red Kidney Bean Hummus
Split Pea Hummus
I love making hummus out of any bean that is available to me, and I also LOVE the taste of split peas. Split peas are already creamy with an excellent strong flavor on their own, so I didn't find the need to make this hummus any other flavor except enhancing what split peas already have. This … Continue reading Split Pea Hummus
