With October being pumpkin season, and me being SUPER basic when it comes to all things pumpkin (and fall season in general)… this low FODMAP pumpkin pie is feeling like the perfect way to kick off the next few months! It’s an oldie but goodie. (Getting to be back visiting my hometown in New England …
There’s nothing like a creamy cup of cacao powder hot chocolate any time of year, in my opinion… But December is here, and after living in TX for almost a year and a half, it’s still very strange not having any snow (hey, I’m not complaining!). Regardless of the weather, I do love me some …

I’m back, and it’s almost my birthday! Hi! I realize it’s been a few months since I last posted a recipe. I had every intention of blogging, but I admit time management has become a bit of a challenge to say the least. Let’s just say a LOT has been happening in 2019. Since the …
I use this pecan crust recipe for all sorts of pies, including my very own birthday ice cream pie, pumpkin pie and vegan chocolate coconut banana creme pie to name a few.

Although the foliage in Texas is no match …
If you love chocolate half as much as I do, and you’re someone who prefers gooey, fudgy brownies over the cakey texture, you’ll absolutely love these flourless cacao brownies with sweet potato! These brownies aren’t just rich and melt-in-your-mouth good – they’re also loaded with micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and antioxidants) from superfoods like cacao powder …
It’s that time of year… Shamrock Shakes are officially back! Although this seasonal McDonald’s minty-green dessert drink has been around since the 1970s apparently, I admit I didn’t know of this creation until 2011 when one of my clients asked me about it. My parents must have missed the Shamrock Shake memo when I was growing …
(Recipe card and some content updated February 8, 2021) Happy 2018! Leave it to Boston to kick off the first week of the new year with over a foot of snow… Could we have it any other way?! Ironically I’m writing this post from Austin, Texas where I get to visit Michael and also begin …
Let’s be honest – who doesn’t secretly (OR openly) prefer the taste of fresh chocolate chip cookie dough over the actual baked cookies?! I guess you can’t go wrong either way… When it comes to food, especially foods like homemade chocolate chip cookies, it’s not just the about the yummy taste. Almost everybody I know …

(Recipe card and blog post updated February 9, 2021) Back in our adolescent days, my sister and I would regularly watch the Food Network together after school. Probably not hard to believe, if you know us! You might be surprised though when I tell you that one of our favorite chefs on the line-up was – …
