I realize I've gone mostly peppermint madness this month, and not once have I given cranberries a chance to take center stage. I wanted to make a fun and festive breakfast, so I opted to make a batch of cranberry orange protein donuts. I didn't glaze them since I wanted to be able to taste… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Protein Donuts

Jump to recipe and instructions I think we're all pretty familiar with the classic TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. My Cliff Notes version for anyone under the age of 35: dejected red-nosed reindeer meets misfit elf who's really into dental work, and both also eventually meet a greedy prospector looking for gold (but somehow… Continue reading Time Waits for Snowmen

Jump to recipe and instructions Okay, we all know I'm like, really into Halloween, super into November because pumpkin everything, but then there's Christmas...I have a love/hate relationship with this holiday because each year it seems to come earlier and earlier. Hobby Lobby is putting up Christmas decorations in July, Christmas ads start in August/September,… Continue reading Making Life so Much Breader

Have you still not tried Empowrd's gluten free donut mix yet? Because, seriously, just do it. I eat donuts no fewer than two at a time, so having macro-friendly donuts is a must in my world. And tis the season to get pepperminty, so I decided it was time for chocolate peppermint donuts to make… Continue reading Chocolate Peppermint Protein Donuts

As far as I'm concerned, the time from Thanksgiving through Christmas is a lawless period where anything goes, food-wise (you still need to behave and be a decent human being because, Santa). Since I can eat like a bottomless pit (Only bonus to anxiety? Constant high calorie burn!), I am a big fan of this… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Chocolate Mini Protein Cheesecakes

Jump to recipe and instructions Let me preface this blog by saying the cake I made this weekend did not at all turn out the way I had envisioned and started it, but we'll just call it a happy accident because after a quick "PIVOT!" a la Ross Geller, it is still a cake, and… Continue reading I Pump-can’t Believe It

Trying to decide whether to make a pie or cheesecake for Thanksgiving next week? Why not both? This no-bake apple pie cheesecake also doesn't take up any prime real estate in the oven, making it a win-win in the official "Turkey Day Dessert Table" entries. I must also mention it is super easy to throw… Continue reading No-Bake Apple Pie Cheesecake

Okay, my love of nut butters knows absolutely no bounds; I pretty much try to have it at every single meal during the day. Breakfast? English muffin with cashew butter. Lunch? Traditional PB&J. Dinner? Pancake bowl topped with one or both nut butters (God, I love bulking season). American Dream Nut Butters did a pretty… Continue reading Maple Sticky Bun Bars

Jump to recipe I always get a little sad when I finish my final Baketober recipe. I firmly believe October needs to be longer, or maybe we need to get a second Halloween in like, February or something because spooky bakes are just the best...after all, demons are a ghoul's best friend. I have been… Continue reading Love at First Bite 🧛‍♀️

Jump to recipe If you hear a cackling voice floating over the wind this weekend, it's just me, eager with delight that Halloween is so, so very close. It's been a few months since I've made a batch of cookies, so I approached this week's bake with a "go big or gourd home" mentality. I… Continue reading Quite the Pumpkin Batch
