Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a peanut butter addict! Whenever I see something with peanut sauce on a menu, I just HAVE to get it—it doesn’t even matter what it is. I love peanut butter so much that I decided to elevate my obsession to another level and make a batch of peanut noodles. The great thing about peanut noodles is that the recipe is super simple.
Carrot cake holds a special place in my heart. Ever since I was little, I’d always pick the carrot cake muffin at the mall. What kid in their right mind would pick carrot cake!? This one, apparently. While all the other kids shoveled in the chocolate chip muffins, I sat with my carrot one, happy as a bunny.
I am a peanut butter monster! I don’t even want to think about the amount of money I’ve spent on plain, crunchy peanut butter in the past year. It must be in the hundreds though. I always have a good ol’ jar of PB on hand. Recently, I was craving cookies but didn’t have very much in my cupboard. I had a whole whack of shredded coconut and of course my trusty peanut butter…so I decided to make peanut butter macaroons, because what is better than that, seriously…
Protein powder has been controversial in the past few years, not necessarily because of what it does—provide a solid dose of protein for post-workout nutrition or those who struggle to get in adequate amounts for various reasons—but because of how it’s made and, more specifically, what it’s made from.
Sidewalk pie.
Mmmm, good ol’ Sidewalk Pie.
Wait, what? Sidewalk Pie?
What the heck is Sidewalk Pie, and, why is it called Sidewalk Pie, you ask?
It’s actually a Raw Key Lime Pie. And—this pie is so good, you could eat it off the sidewalk.
In fact, I and my friends actually did eat this pie off the sidewalk. This is not an exaggeration, figure of speech, or hyperbole. That’s just how dang good this pie is.
There are numerous ways to learn about healthy lifestyle practices, ranging from self-care to nutrition to exercise to yoga. Books, online and in-person classes, workshops, and friend-to-friend chats can all be great ways to learn more about the healing benefits of pine pollen, for example, or if plastic bottles are really safe.
Organic, holistic living is becoming more popular with the rise of big-name grocery stores like Whole Foods, the increasing trend of weekly farmer’s markets in cities across the country, and through practices like yoga. Many of us watch what we eat, are curious about where our food came from and want to know how it was produced.
Going gluten free, even if you’re not celiac, is becoming increasingly common. While it might seem like a fad–alongside the sudden popularity of kale and bacon–there is research to back this growing trend.
Winter is here, and with it comes lots of temptation for sugary foods and not-so-healthy drinks. One of my favorite things to drink this time of year is hot chocolate, a staple for many people over the holidays. Unfortunately, traditional hot chocolate is often loaded with refined sugar and dairy, not to mention hydrogenated oils if you’re buying it pre-packaged.
