I spent 30 minutes trying to find a naturally sweetened, whole food cookie that was moist and would go well with tea, before I finally gave up. I wanted something moist, and guilt free. Every recipe, had earth balance butter, oil or added sugar. These little babies, answered all my prayers. They are moist, added sugar free, oil free AND best of all Vegan. I switched up my normal cookie recipe,…

I love me some chocolate oatmeal. During the week, it gets pretty hectic and if I eat oats, I only have time to throw in cinnamon and vanilla and then it’s time to go. I got a free sample of Earnest Oats Cacao blend and I knew instantly how to solve my boring oats dilemma. I started making my own mixes, with nuts, seeds and seasonings and life has never been easier. Shake, Shake, Shake and it’s…

3 Bobo’s, oat Bars by Thursday, and I’m looking at my bank account like why?! why?! must they be so delicious! Bobo’s bars are addicting and delicious little bank breakers that are convenient and available at most stores. I spent a total of $8.37 on just three bars. I thankfully stopped myself before I spent more money, and ingested more “natural flavors” and decided to make my own. What is so…

Apple Butter and Apple Sauce

So if you are following my blog, you know that I am doing a 30 day nothing processed challenge. I LOVE applesauce, it is my absolute favorite treat during the fall. Since I am not buying anything processed, I decided to make my own. I have tried to make my own before, but I over-processed it and it turned into apple butter (no regrets, it was delicious) One Jar of apple butter, lasts over a week…

Solo Comida Nada Mas (Just food, nothing more)

30 days, nothing processed and nothing out of a box, PERIOD. Just fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, beans and seeds. Do you think you can do it? I decided to try this challenge during the summer, and lost 15 pounds. It was easy then, because I had the time to cook. Now I am doing this challenge for a month, while working 45 hours and staying active and healthy. My typical meals include; Pasta…

Raw Cacao energy balls

I used to eat Cliff bars everyday, until I discovered how much soy they contain. If you already have skin issues or hormonal problems, eating one everyday can wreak havoc on your skin. Enter my own homemade version.I just got my shipment of Dates from 7HotDates and 1/2 are already gone! Perfect time to post this recipe. I gave these energy balls to 5 non vegan co-workers, and they all said they…

Creamers are supposed to be thick and create a richer drink. Most Vegan creamers, water down my tea and coffee and aren’t quite creamy enough for my liking. This creamer came out just right, and dissolved so easily in my tea.  I left a jar at work for my afternoon tea, and my tea breaks have never been better.  It keeps for 3-5 days, and can even be added to smoothies or nicecream. Tastes great…

Homemade Crock-pot veggie broth

This broth costs nothing! All the greens, and vegetables I cut, usually have a bit left over that I don’t use. I’m talking the green tops of carrots, celery bottoms, lettuce bottoms, avocado seeds, and onion ends. If you are eating healthy, meaning at least 4-5 servings of vegetables a day, you should have more than enough to fill a crock-pot. This broth serves so many uses throughout the week. I…
