Cinnamon Cocoa Coated AlmondsI could listen to Liam Neeson talk all day long. Aaalllll dayyyyy. His voice has this smooth, velvety richness to it that I find very soothing. This morning at the gym I elected to do my elliptical workout in the movie room because I saw that Batman Begins was playing, and I love […]

Raw Coconut Cranberry Cashew Fig BarsGood morning! I’ve got a little spring in my step! And it’s not just because it’s 80 degrees out and beautifully, wonderfully, actually spring. It’s because I whipped up a batch of these amazingly delicious, 100% vegan, fruit and nut bars. They taste super awesome, yo! For serious. I’m sure […]

Piña Colada Macadamia Nuts. Oh my goodness, everyone! It’s finally spring!!! And I say “finally,” because even though spring was apparently supposed to start a couple of weeks ago, it seems like everyone’s still been waiting on the winter to be over. Well, the good news is, you’re not alone! Because here in Charlotte, it was […]

Mexican Style Egg White PoppersHigh protein. Low carb. Tasty little morsels of awesomeness. I love ’em because they’re so versatile as far as what time of day to eat them. Breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? Snack? Wham-bam, good for all four. Plus, I flip over anything I can top with Cholula. Or stick jalapeños in. Or cilantro. […]

Kevin (a fellow redhead) and Jeanneane Kelly and […]

All of that mouth-watering melted mozzarella, all of that garlic, all of the wondrous herbs steaming out of the pie… After making a low-carb vegan pesto, my mind started swirling with ideas of pizza toppings and sauces. Then, of course, I was disheartened […]

Before we get into these lovable little quiches, let’s address a personal issue I’ve been having lately: Flashdance is on Netflix. Flashdance!!! Now, this movie was before my time, but my mom had the soundtrack on cassette tape and my sister and I used to make up a bajillion dances to it in our backyard. […]

Sesame & Wasabi Seared Tuna Seared Tuna is always one of my favorite things to get when I go to any restaurant. I always know it’s going to be light, healthy, refreshing, and very high in protein. Plus, if you load it with wasabi you get that great feeling like someone just punched you straight […]

Caprese Sliders Simple, adorable, refreshing, and always a hit. If you’re being inundated with holiday parties and you want something quick, but totally awesome, to bring or serve as an appetizer, these little Caprese Sliders are it. Personally, I don’t know a single person that doesn’t love a good Caprese salad. And I just love […]
