Nut Butter Stuffed Dates: a healthy treat for your sweet tooth!

Inspired by Restoring Radiance for these nut butter stuffed dates, they were a hit!! First of all, I’m a sucker for anything peanut butter & chocolate (anyone else?!) and while these originally called for almond butter, I switched it out for my favorite peanut butter instead! SO GOOD!

I was on the hunt for a brownie. One that was extra chocolaty (is that a word?), free of refined sugar & flour and one that did not use black beans. As much as I do love a good black bean brownie, I honestly didn’t want to have to mess with the blender! Inspired by this online recipe, I made a couple upgrades and was so happy with the results that I’m sharing it with you.

Restaurant Style Salsa

I really like to make this salsa during the winter months or when tomatoes are not in season. By using canned tomatoes & adding the fresh ingredients, it creates a delicious “fresh” flavor.

I use my home canned tomatoes (tomatoes & salt) but you can pick some up from the grocery. You can adjust the amounts of tomato & cilantro to your liking.

(TIP: canning whole tomatoes is very easy. I just stuff the jars as full as I can, add 1/2-1 tsp pink salt and can.)

Why You Should Add Ghee To Your Diet

Ghee- a healthy fat that you should be adding into your diet!

Have you heard of or used ghee? Used for many many years in Indian cooking and Ayurvedic practices, ghee is an amazing healthy fat that deserves a place in our diet. Similar to butter, ghee technically is butter that has been heated to remove the milk solids and simmered to enhance it’s natural buttery flavor. This process is why people who are allergic to dairy can usually handle ghee.

Healthy Holiday Cranberry Sauce

Cranberry Sauce-is it a part of your Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner?

Cranberry sauce was a new adventure for me. I was very excited to try it and quite pleased how it turned out! Throwing all the ingredients in the pan and turning the heat up, I was delighted to hear the sound of those berries popping! Most cranberry sauce recipes call for a large amount of sugar so I was pleased to find you can cut the content by over half! It does make more of a tart sauce, but it will go perfect with your turkey 😉
