Chocolate Quinoa Candy Bars
I’m not always one to want to make no-bake treats, simply because I love turning on the oven and seeing what I’ve mixed up turn into something new. I have to say though that these no-bake candy bars are changing my mind. They are probably my most favorite thing I have created in a while! These candy bars are packed with all the good things. They have no processed sugar, can be made paleo, are gluten-free, and vegan! and they are so so so good!! I really suggest that you make them stat! If you wish to make these paleo, you can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter I…

Amazing Pumpkin Hummus
Sometimes I think to myself about all the amazing people in the world. It seriously can boggle my mind when I think about the philanthropist who persevere towards a cause, the talented artists who inspire us , the athletes who are able to do impossible things with there bodies, the intellect who makes new discoveries, or even just the average person. The average person who’s heart is full of love, who makes great oral presentations, who is always there for you, who has a great sense of humor, and there are so many more.

Healthy but still sweet and even a bit creamy. This is a variation of my Toaster Cheesecake which I love because it has all the cheesecake flavour without too much of the “bad” stuff.

Everything Cookie Dough Hummus
I love desserts that taste decadent but are actually healthy. I especially love foods that are fun! This recipe is the normally savory hummus made sweet. Please do not think that chickpeas won’t go well with sweet things because they do! I have been wanting to make a cookie dough hummus for a long time and I wish that I had done this sooner. It tastes so good! Best of all this dessert hummus has everything in it! I don’t know about you but I’m crazy about adding multiple ingredients into dishes. I think it makes it tastier. Plus what could be easier than just throwing in a little something extra…

Frozen Prune-Butter Spheres of Joy
Its summer time! Doesn’t everything seem so much better in the summer? The days are warmer, sunnier, and longer. Days off feel so much better. Fruits and desserts taste sweeter. Rays of sun feel yummy on bare skin. My favorite summer treats are ice cream, iced coffee, and smoothies. The latter two I usually only have in the summer but ice cream I crave all year round. I wish I had some ice cream right now. Mmmm ice cream. Usually I still prefer having something to munch on then slurp so I made these fun little treats. This recipe is very similar to my Spheres of Joy but are placed in…

Spheres of Joy
It’s a combination you’ve probably seen countless times. Dates and nuts. Aren’t they just perfect together! I call these Spheres of Joy because they are like little sweet balls of energy. My mom calls them candy, so you can call them that too. But remember they are better than candy because they have no unhealthy fats or sugar in them. If its summer where you are, you should make these because they do not require the heat of the oven. Unfortunately for me it snowed about 20 cm here a day ago so I’ll be enjoying these with a warm cup of hot cocoa after a session of hot yoga.…
