In a daily eats post a few weeks ago I hinted that a recipe was coming for these cookies. I’ve been busy sharing with you a kale salad and pear blondies, but the time has come! These little cookies taste just like banana bread. They’re moist and subtly sweet, made even better by the crispy edges and … More Healthy Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Cookies
These blondies may not look like much, but they’re one of the best things I’ve made recently. The base is fortified with whole wheat flour and lightly sweetened with maple syrup and coconut sugar.

This is less of a real recipe, and more one variation on a wildly useful template. Whole grains make up an important food group that offers us energy and long-lasting satiety. For this reason, consider preparing a batch of your favorite grain on Sunday, then adding it to meals throughout the week. Even better, turn it … More Couscous Salad
For me, seasons are defined just as much by baked goods as they are by the movement of the sun or the changing colors of the leaves. Buttery, cinnamon-infused apple crisp in fall, spicy gingerbread in winter, bright strawberry shortcake in spring, and for summer, this stone fruit cobbler.
