Right now I am currently cooking my way through my mom’s holiday recipes. My mom is basically Betty Crocker reincarnated. I grew up in a house filled with food and treats. From homemade caramels to spritz cookies to fudge to English toffee, Christmas is always the best time of year for my mom’s treats. I…

Vegan Peppermint Fudge
This vegan peppermint fudge is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Decadent fudge makes for the perfect holiday treat. The peppermint is not only a delicious accent flavor but peppermint has its own health benefits. Peppermint has said to help with headaches and boost concentration. So I will just tell myself…
Paleo Pumpkin Cookies with Orange Glaze
Today marks the official last day of summer. At the stroke of midnight, fall will arrive and the pumpkin everything onslaught will reach frenzied heights! Last year I only shared one pumpkin recipe, yup just one! I am more of an apple girl myself, but there are a few pumpkin things I just love. One…
Sea Salt & Honey Ice Cream by Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind
After a fun but exhausting weekend at the lake, I am happy to be home and in my own bed! It has been so hot in Oklahoma all summer long. Even though we are supposed to be transitioning to fall, it feels like the middle of summer here. I’m not complaining because it means I…
Sweet n’ Salty Sesame Almonds
I have been missing Europe desperately lately. I still chat with the friends I met on my trip from over a year ago. We like to reminisce about long bus rides, eating new foods and simply the ridiculous scenarios we found ourselves in. The highlight of the trip for me was Greece. With the current…
Dairy-free Chamomile Pistachio Ice Cream
While in Austin, I did a little ice cream crawl with my fellow bloggers. As a recovering ice cream addict, I take my ice cream very seriously. I tried both Dolce Neve and Lick, and I am happy to report both were delicious! At Dolce Neve, I had the Chamomile Pistachio Ice cream and Chocolate…
Mango Key Lime Cheesecake
It’s cheesecake time! Without you know the cheese. This Mango Key Lime Cheesecake will give any traditional cheesecake a run for its money. The key lime base is swirled with mango puree that sits on a coconut-macadamia nut crust and is topped off with mango mousse. I really wanted to make this cheesecake vegan because…
White Chocolate Pomegranate Bark
I promised myself I wouldn’t make anything for Valentine’s Day. Then I broke that promise. I had extra pomegranate seeds and have been wanting to make something with them. I used some for a new chicken salad recipe that should be coming to the blog next week. I still had more pomegranate seeds and thought…
Chocolate Cashew Clusters
We are in the Christmas countdown. My small-ish family of 5 has grown over the years to 12! Yes 12. Twelve is a lot of people to buy presents for. I went the DIY route this year and made lash lengthening serum, headache salve and eye cream for the ladies of my family. I’m not…
Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie
Confession time. My sister made this Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie. She has the patience to remake recipes multiple times if it doesn’t work the first time. I accredit this to the fact she has three children and also an extreme sweet tooth. I on the other hand am not blessed with said patience. Give me…
Bourbon Clove Applesauce
So I am going to say it… it is freezing out! Freezing. It was 70 degrees in Oklahoma last week. Yesterday I woke up and my weather app read “feels like 10 degrees.” I am not okay with this. I love fall. It was one of the things I absolutely missed when I lived in…
Spiced Pumpkin Cider
Paleo purists advert your little eyes because we have an adult beverage coming your way! Just kidding don’t go too far because this drink is easily made into a mocktail! I’ve been a fan of cider since my best friend studied abroad in Ireland and talked non-stop about Bulmers Cider aka Magners here in the…
