‘Tis the season after all… I have been struggling with getting the right composition for making chia pudding. I know life can be harsh sometimes… It all seemed so easy when I first tried it, but I could never quite get the mix right and it was either too much in chia seeds or too […]
I have been playing around trying to find a healthier substitute for brownies. So for my first attempt I didn’t want to stray too far from my base recipe, the Cashew Nuts Energy Balls. For this first batch of  brownie bites, i decided to substitute part of the rolled oats with a mix of chopped […]
Around Thanksgiving (I know that was a while ago… be kind, I am catching up), I was asked to bring a dish that included corn. Now, I didn’t grow up eating corn. Where I grew up we mostly grew field corn to feed livestock. The only corn I knew that people ate, was popcorn. So, […]

Wow! I didn’t think when I started that I would keep this up. But we are now in week 5 or 6 on the kale train. Now that I really like the taste and have fine-tuned some glitches (too little water, too much chia-seeds, too old kale, not blended long enough), I find it’s […]
I like my snacks. I really can’t help it. Here is one of my most favorite easy to make snacks that I keep in the freezer. Frozen bananas with peanut butter Pretty easy to make in three steps: Cut up bananas into pieces Add peanut butter on top Throw into freezer Just note that […]
So I finally run out of coconut milk. And now I know you don’t need it! 🙂 This week’s kale smoothie recipe with cucumber, blueberries, and chia seeds. 1 cup kale 1/2 cup cucumber 1/2 cup blueberries 1 tbsp chia seeds 8 oz apple juice Just watch out: The chia seeds take on the liquid […]
What’s in my fridge and pantry? Answer: So much inspiration for another kale recipe. Who needs to go shopping and buy crazy rare ingredients for healthy snacks? Not me!
