Last week was my parents’ anniversary. To celebrate I got them a cheesy present and made dessert; it’s what I do. I figured a cake would be a bit much for 3 people so I went with cupcakes using a secret ingredient I picked up last month at the store. I’ve had coconut flour before…

Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies
What better way to finish off a week than with chocolate? After I made chocolate hazelnut butter, my first thought was to make chocolate hazelnut brownies. For some reason, that sounded familiar; sure enough I looked back through the recipe pages to see that I made those last Winter. I made a few changes to…
Egg-Free Peanut Butter Cookies
Well I made it 4 days into December before breaking down and making Christmas cookies. I couldn’t hold up to the pressure any longer. The truth is I’m not the biggest cookie fan. I have my favorites(like peanut butter cookies) but on the whole would rather have something else. One cookie I love is the…
Double Take: Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of my most popular recipes on this site is the almond flour chocolate chip cookies. I never understood why it was so popular; sure, it’s a good recipe. But it didn’t get too much attention when I posted it and the pictures weren’t that great. It all made sense one day when I realized…
Homemade Peppermint Patties
While I definitely have a sweet tooth, you could count the different candies I like with one hand: peanut butter cups, Snickers, Swedish fish, and Peppermint Patties. Oh, and candied ginger, but that doesn’t really count; I mean, it has ginger in it so that practically makes it a medicine. I might be jumping the…
Eat Your Feelings
I have the internet to thank for letting me know this past weekend was Labor Day, and all of the tweets and Facebook statuses about having a day off from work. My mind was pretty occupied because it was moving weekend for me. For the third time I moved back to Providence to start another…
Almond Flour Brownies
This week I made brownies for the first time in months. MONTHS. Who am I? The thing is these aren’t even for me; I’m still trying to get in better shape for marathon training. The last thing I need on my plate(literally) is brownies. I’m not saying I didn’t steal a taste, but as soon…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Believe it or not, I haven’t been eating that much dessert lately(just ignore the dessert post yesterday and the ones last week along with everything I say). I’m racing a half marathon in 2 weeks and want to be lean, mean, and strong for it, so I’ve been opting for healthier sweets like fruit or…
Raspberry Tofu Pudding
Normally I like fudgy desserts, or just a piece of thick chocolate. But this Summer I haven’t been able to get enough mousse desserts, like this one or this one or this one. So naturally I had to try this recipe when I saw it on the Whole Foods website. I’ve made chocolate and peanut…
Healthy Frozen S’mores Parfaits
There’s been a recent explosion of s’mores desserts on food blogs lately. Besides making me think “You’re killing me, Smalls,” it’s also made me jealous and hungry for some s’mores(and if you don’t get the quote go out to Blockbuster or Red Box or however people get movies these days and rent The Sandlot). And…
