Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Bars
I was going to call these little cinnamon-y nuggets of goodness “awesome carb bars”… but for some people, “awesome” and “carb” don’t go together in the same sentence! And I’d so hate for you not to try these… They came to be at the beginning of May, when Tommy and I both started running more, …
Vegan Chocolate Peppermint Cups
Merry Christmas Eve, friends! I always think I’m going to post waaaay more recipes for you this season than I actually do… in fact, nearly every time I make something I think, “I should post this,”… and then we eat it so fast I can never take any pictures! It almost happened with these chocolate …

These vegan and naturally gluten-green thumbprint cookies are the perfect treat for Christmas Eve, to sustain you as you wrap up preparations for your Christmas celebration.

Peanut Butter Pumpkin Salted Caramels
These peanut butter pumpkin salted caramels will get you in the holiday spirit no matter how much you’re dragging your feet on your Christmas preparations.

Vegan Banana Bread
I’ve been on a banana bread kick lately. Not only do we always seem to have bananas going soft on our counter (who doesn’t?), but also I’m finding so much more freedom in my diet now that my show is over. I’m still eating well… plant-based, plenty of veggies, adequate protein to fuel my lifting… …
