Nutella Chocolate Mousse

Now if you know me personally, you know that I typically eat pretty healthily whenever possible. Whole grains, lean meats, fruits and veggies. I eat salads every day for lunch at work. But I also subscribe to the philosophy “anything in moderation.” This would be one of those times to employ moderation. My recommendation – […]

Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Lactation Bars

My lactation granola bar recipe is one of the most popular on my blog, and for good reason. They’re delicious, nutritious, and provide nursing mamas with a boost. There are lots of ingredients here that nursing mamas need for energy and to help their body produce milk, especially oats, flax seed, brewer’s yeast, and coconut. […]

Peanut Butter Apple Tart

The other day, I had some apples I needed to use up. Incidentally, needing to use up ingredients is how many of my favorite recipes are born. Anyway, I wanted to make a dessert with the apples, and I happened to have some frozen pie dough in the freezer. I’ve never been a pie baker. […]

Chocolate Peanut Butter Lactation Energy Bites

I saw a recipe for Chocolate Energy Bites, and I thought they were perfect for me. Recently we welcomed our second child, Eleanor Jayne, into our family. Being a new parent brings such great joy!…and also such tiredness. 🙂 So when I saw this recipe, I wasn’t sure which I needed more – chocolate or energy. […]

Chocolate Fudge with Avocado

  A chocolate dessert made with avocado…it seems weird, I know. But you don’t taste the avocado at all! I swear! It just gives the fudge a decadent, smooth, butteriness that is to die for. I actually feel a little naughty, like it is some sort of sneaky deception to put avocado in this silky, satisfying dessert. […]

Whipped Coconut Cream

Here’s a confession to start this blog post. I feel bad even calling this a recipe. It’s really, I mean extremely, simple. But it is something I want to share with you because I didn’t even know this was possible until I was having to be dairy-free because I was nursing Wes, who had a milk […]
