I have a handful of recipes that I know are homeruns… chocolate avocado mousse and easy almond flour pancakes and fudgy Paleo brownies are a few of the most recent ones.

Healthier Candied Pecans
One summer I bought a container of candied pecans at Costco. They were so good, and so addicting, that I ate the entire two pounds of nuts in 3 days. We’re hosting a Christmas party soon, and I wanted to come up with a snack that was not only healthier than the standard bag ofClick to Continue »

No Bake Soft and Chewy Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
You know you’ve done something right when the family fights over who gets the last piece of something you’ve made, like these peanut butter chocolate chip granola bars. It started with my black bean brownies. I made a double batch on Monday to cover snacks and desserts for the week, but Mr. Crumbs had beenClick to Continue »

If I could pick only one topping for frozen yogurt, it would be gummy bears. My whole life I’ve loved gummy everything. Bears, worms, sour… (sour patch kids were THE BOMB!). Now there’s even “life saver” gummies and “jolly rancher” flavors too. Oh my. I’m not sure whether to rejoice at the myriad of gummyClick to Continue »
