GARBANZO BEAN BROWNIES Ingredients for GARBANZO BEAN BROWNIES Garbanzo bean flour made its way back into my kitchen. I’ve made a few recipes that haven’t made it onto the blog yet, but there are for sure more coming! I love that GB flour is actually a legume and not a grain. 6g of protein and 5g of fiber per serving (1/4 cup). Hot damn. It works great as a replacement of whole wheat or all-purpose flour AND it’s gluten free. Win-Win situation in my mind What I also love is that it is 1 ingredient: ground garbanzo beans. I use the…
HEALTHY BLUEBERRY COBBLER This always happens to me. I tell myself I am going to make a delicious breakfast cobbler recipe using some of the fresh and frozen berries I got from Driscolls, then I end up turning it into a dessert by slapping some frozen greek yogurt on top.

PUMPKIN SPICE FROZEN LATTE WITH VEGAN WHIPPED CREAM It’s been an unintentional reoccurring theme, that I follow my Fit Foodie Finds Friday post with a post that goes along with the theme. This week it was all about the latte. If you missed it, here’s the link to 4 spectacular (gluten free) latte inspired recipes. I’ve seen lots of hot latte recipes going around the blog-o-sphere, so I thought I’d mix it up and try something a little contrary to the season. A FROZEN latte! I used Family Fresh Cooking’s Vegan Whipped Cream basic recipe, but added some cinnamon. SO GOOD and…
GRAIN FREE PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES I always feel so much success when my brother approves a recipe. I made him a big batch of these last weekend to take home after he came over for dinner. Now that he goes to the University of Minnesota, I actually get to see him about once a week. He gives me a reason to bake sweet stuff, too. I can have a few and then give the rest to him and not feel bad! I love this recipe because there are only a few ingredients and made with no refined grains! Coconut flour…
No-Bake Gingerbread Pumpkin Snowballs I’m sure you area all wondering if I woke up yesterday morning to get my 5AM workout in…Well- the answer is no. I unfortunately had the most TERRIBLE night of sleep ever! I went to bed at 9:00 tired as can be…and laid there until 3:30…WIDE AWAKE. Not sure how that adds up, but I decided to take the day off from working out in hopes for a better recovery on my lack of sleep! Surprisingly I had a very productive day! I know a few days ago I called these Vegan Gingerbread Pumpkin Snowballs, but…

I am writing this from my grandparent’s couch in Chicago right now I’ve finally had a normal night of sleep after being majorly jet-lagged for the past 2 weeks. It’s partially my fault because I’ve been letting myself go to bed at like 7 and inevitably waking up at 4. Thank you Vibe Israel! Speaking of Israel. One of the things I was most excited to bring back was this vegan chocolate recipe! One…
