Strawberry Cheesecake Jars are a fun individual-sized portion treat to share with friends and family. Make them ahead of time for entertaining guests or bringing to a potluck.

Looking for a fun, festive, and somewhat healthy dessert to serve guests at your summer BBQs? THIS JUST IN!

These Individual Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Jars are magnificent for making individual portions of healthier “cheesecake.” They are dairy-free using soaked and pureed cashews as a replacement for cream cheese. They are refined sugar-free, swapping out sugar for pure maple syrup (or honey if you aren’t vegan). The crust is also grain-free, made using nuts and dates.

Essentially what we have here is a silky-smooth, mouth-watering vegan cheesecake recipe that will knock the socks off your guests and fits so many dietary restrictions. No one will guess they aren’t fully leaded cheesecakes!

Chicken Burrito Bowls with black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, sautéed kale, and brown rice. An easy, nutritious dinner recipe.

Energy balls with dried blueberries, dark chocolate, almonds, walnuts, dates, pumpkin seeds, flax seed oil, and more. This easy and nutritious snack recipe is a great low-sugar alternative to packaged snacks.

You may have noticed a theme with my snacks section of this site. Let’s face it – they’re mostly nut-based and they’re mostly balls. The  amount of snack recipes I share in comparison to main dishes is pretty dismal by virtue of the fact that I’m not a big snacker.

But when it comes to nuts, seeds, and dried fruit all balled up together in an energy bite? Sign me up.

When I head out of town for a long road trip or go for a long jaunt in the mountains, I’ll often snag some balls in case I have to go more than a few hours between meals. I don’t rely on store-bought snacks, as I find they contain too much sugar and/or contain ingredients I try to avoid.

For this rendition of energy balls, I used all superfood ingredients to generate a ball that is jam packed with healthy fat, antioxidants, minerals, and all sorts of health benefits. PLUS they taste like blueberry chocolatey goodness, which is a major win in my book.

Let’s chat about superfood.

Almond butter blondies with fresh strawberries make for an amazing paleo-friendly treat! All you need is a few basic pantry ingredients to make these healthy blondies happen.

Who here loves a good dessert bar? I, for one, am obsessed with anything that is square in formation and quenches my sweet tooth. Toss in some chunks of chocolate and/or some fresh fruit, and forgetaboutit…I’m SOLD!

My Chocolate Chip Paleo Blondies is one of my most popular recipes to date. My friend’s 11-year-old daughter makes them regularly to share with the family. They’re just so easy to make, and so incredibly tasty! Based on the family’s undying love for the blondie, I thought I would revisit the concept with a twist – using just almond butter and fresh strawberries.

This recipe couldn’t be any easier. The blondie “base” is just a couple of eggs, a whole lot of almond butter, coconut sugar, and some chopped strawberries for pomp and circumstance.

Pesto Salmon in Parchment Paper is an easy low-carb, keto, paleo dinner recipe that turns out mouth-wateringly tender and amazingly flavorful. A delicious meal worthy of putting on repeat!

Since my Mediterranean Salmon in Parchment Paper is one of my all-time favorite recipes on this site AND I have a deep love for pesto, I figured I would simplify the parchment paper salmon concept and just go with pesto.

Revolutionary? Nay. But friends, you NEED this!

The salmon turns out so crazy tender in this application and the whole thing is a melt-in-your-mouth experience.

I made the pesto sauce using what greens I had in the refrigerator: spinach, basil, and dill. I used what nuts I had in the pantry: almonds and pistachios. The end result? A flavorful herb salmon with just the loveliest nutty crunch.

Can you go with classic pesto sauce? Yes, absolutely! I cover that in the Pesto Sauce section below. For now, let’s learn…
