Healthy strawberry jam

To celebrate the release of my steamy new adult contemporary romance novel, Sweet Redemption, I created the Sweet Treat series and I’m so excited to share my healthy strawberry jam recipe.

If you missed the first recipe in the series, check out my birthday cake protein balls that have been getting rave reviews.

We’ve been consistently meal planning this week and healthy breakfast quiche has been getting us from early morning to lunch with ease. Continue reading “Healthy breakfast quiche” →

Avocado Toast with the Easiest 4 Ingredient Guac!

I have an old soul. When I was 6, my mom used to tell people I was going on 40. This is why my friends (most of whom are older than me) find it so funny that I’m part of the dreaded and despised millennial generation. While avocado toast is tongue in cheek, I actually do love it and I promise it’s the only millennial-esque aspect to my lifestyle!

Gluten free coconut flour banana pancakes (vegan, keto and paleo friendly)

I’d love to have bacon and eggs for breakfast every day, but not only would that become unhealthy, it’s also time prohibitive. Enter coconut flour banana pancakes that are easy to make and taste light, fluffy and delicious while also being gluten free and vegan, keto and paleo friendly.
