It only takes one can of lentils and a few spices for you to get these delicious little spiced crunchy bits. They are fantastic as a salad topper or sprinkled over hummus.

Cinnamon Buns
It is Easter weekend when I’m writing this post but apparently someone forgot to tell the weather.

Easy Apple Baked Oatmeal
Welcome to January, the month of new year’s resolutions and nothing but vegetables. I just don’t buy into that, but after a month of eating cookies for breakfast, lunch and dinner I am ready for a bit of a change. That doesn’t mean I don’t want my breakfast to be delicious, though. This baked oatmeal…

Surprisingly Healthy Chocolate Almond “Truffles”

These little chocolate morsels are not a substitute for “real truffles”, they are delicious in their own right. They are soft…
