Unfortunately, I went the entire summer without having a proper s’more. I’m not sure how that happened, although if I had to guess, it probably has something to do with two little humans with pre-sunset bedtimes. Now it’s the beginning of fall, and while I wait for the weather to get the memo, I’m looking…

Crunchy Peanut Butter Chocolate Quinoa Bars
Imagine if a certain chocolate covered peanut butter cup had a love affair with a crunch bar, and they had a less-processed and naturally sweetened child. That would be these crunchy peanut butter chocolate quinoa bars, which combine two of my favorite childhood candies into one delicious and more nourishing treat. Put them on your…
Cacao, Almond + Date Shake with Maca — Hormone Balancing
I had the rather shocking realization the other day that my body hasn’t been my own for over 4 years. Pregnant with Rose, breastfeeding Rose, straight into pregnant with Max and now breastfeeding Max. It’s awe-inspiring what a woman’s body can do, and I feel extremely grateful to experience it first-hand. But I’d be lying…
Salted Oatmeal, Walnut + Chocolate Chunk Cookies
These are my holy grail of chocolate chip cookies. I think I have finally achieved that perfect harmony of flavor and texture. The cookies have crisp edges with a swoon-worthy soft interior, and each toothsome bite is filled with buttery-nutty-salty-sweet flavor and studded with dark chocolate chunks. Chunks are the way to go, of course….
Salted Cacao Buckwheat + Hazelnut Granola
Part dessert, part breakfast, part whatever you want it to be — this nourishing chocolate granola pretty much satisfies your every need. During my first trimester, I had a complete aversion to all things chocolate. Really, I couldn’t even think about chocolate. But now, at 23 weeks (how!?!?) my chocolate-loving self is back in full…
Salted Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse
This post is sponsored by Vitamix. All opinions are my own, and all products are those I truly use and love. Mother’s Day is almost upon us, and with it comes warmer weather (finally!!), juicy strawberries and springtime gatherings. I love that Mother’s Day coincides with this time of year. It seems fitting to celebrate…
Chocolate Covered Almond Stuffed Dates, aka “Hot Dates”
I thought I’d pop in with these insanely easy chocolate covered almond stuffed dates. I realized today that Valentine’s Day is next week, and I have not posted a recipe to mark the occasion! The time is flying, and I cannot say I am mad as I look out at the dreary freezing rain pelting…
Oatmeal + Spelt Chocolate Chip Cookies
I cannot believe I haven’t shared the recipe for these cookies yet. This was one of the first recipes I “developed.” I use that term lightly, as basically this recipe casually evolved to what it is over the course of many, many batches of cookies I made during law school years ago. My quest to…
