Cookies & Bars

Guys.  I’m dying over here. I’m swamped with sooooo much work (big/huge/ginormous emphasis on the SOOOO) and I’m about to break…  break eighty chocolate bars and shove them in my face while re-watching all seven seasons of Parks and Rec in my comfy pajamas and puffy slippers while I cry and cry …

Healthy Blueberry Whipped Cream — super airy and fluffy and delicious.  A giant spoonful melts away in your mouth, just like whipped cream, but with a blueberry (and heavy cream-free) twist!  ? Say hello to this magically unique purple amazingness. When you actually see this stuff in the flesh, you’ll …

Dear Hazelnuts, Oh, how I’ve missed you.  Where have you been? I let us grow apart, and I take responsibility for that.  I have to admit that I let pecans and walnuts rule the nut roost ’round these parts, and I forgot about how freaking good you can be- all …

Chocolate and cherry.  Sigh. It really is a classic combo, but just lesser known on the whole rung of Famous Chocolate Combinations (you know- the ladder where almond, mint, peanut butter and caramel kind of rule).  Cherry is kind of down there with orange and raspberry, but no less worthy …

Have you seen ‘Still Alice’?  Yeah well, I might have early onset Alzheimers like that character with the red hair who won the Academy Award.  (I’m not even joking- I can’t remember her name right now.  Reinforcing my point.) I was at the store yesterday morning and bought cashews and …

You need time to bake these, so don’t make them if you’re a diabetic and need a hit of sugar to sustain your life. If, however, you have a couple of hours, you really should make these. Here’s what you need to know about this dessert: Meringue cookies are light …

Wow. Imagine a fluffy and light cookie, full of rich chocolate flavor, that’s somehow chewy and dense, too. It’s a contradiction.  It’s seemingly impossible.  And it’s happening folks, right here and now. Your gluten free friends will finally like you.  Your belly will probably like you better too.  There’s no …

Oatmeal and raisin has had the spotlight for years.  Let’s screw the raisins for a while and give chocolate its chance to shine (since chocolate has been under appreciated for so, so many years). Sometimes chocolate chunks have a place, and when it comes to oatmeal, it basically always has …

I know these cookies sound gross.  (Unless you’re the type who loves avocados, and if that’s the case, this is your fantasy sit-on-the-couch-binge-food.  So pull up a blanket and get ready for your guilt-free cookie feeding.) This recipe is so healthy that it deserves to taste like a combination of prison …

Oh, chai.  Sigh.  Everyone loves you, it seems. Oh, Paleo diet.  Every other person loves you, too. So why not marry the chai lovers with the people eating perfectly-Paleo, with a capital P (really- Paleo has earned its own capital P)?  Done. I stumbled across this recipe because I’ve been …
