I love baking during the holiday season, but sometimes I just need a break! These grain-free cereal bars were a hit at my last potluck, and will definitely be a crowd-pleaser at your holiday gathering.

I used Eat Love Bird cereal here to make this recipe grain-free and low in added sugars, but you can use whatever cereal you prefer!

No-bake recipes are a favorite of mine, especially as the weather starts warming up. This yogurt bark is low in sugar and the toppings can be easily modified depending on what you have on-hand.

I used CocoJune coconut milk yogurt for this recipe to make it dairy-free, but any unsweetened yogurt will work!

This recipe has become a staple in our house because of how easy it is to make! Simply throw your ingredients in the blender, fold in some chocolate, and bake!

I love the natural sweetness provided by the bananas, and prioritize low sugar chocolate chips, from brands like Hu Kitchen, to keep the added sugar low.

This grain-free apple crumble is easy to put together, delicious, AND it makes your house smell amazing.

I’ve shared a grain-free apple crisp recipe before, but this one doesn’t require a food processor, with all the same love from the family.

If you’re looking for a crowd pleasing and healthy treat to bring, then look no further than this Peppermint Chocolate Bark recipe. Bring a batch of this to your next holiday party and it won’t disappoint!

You can omit the peppermint extract to make this bark year round with a variety of toppings.

I used my favorite Hu Kitchen chocolate chips to make this recipe low in sugar!

I made these no-bake cheesecake bites for 4th of July this year, but you can make this healthy, cold, and creamy dessert all year long!

These hearty banana-sweetened cookies are perfect for a lazy Saturday morning, post-workout snack or lunchbox treat for your kiddo.

When I’m an Anxious Annie, one of my self-soothing practices is to make baked goods and eat them. AND I MAKE NO APOLOGIES ABOUT THIS, TO BE CLEAR. The cool thing is you get to benefit from my anxiety. Enjoy these brownies - they’ve got a surprise ingredient in them!

I created this recipe because I was in need of healthy snacks to send off to school with Hattie…that didn’t contain nuts. We eat this as a breakfast, dessert, or layered with yogurt for a parfait-style snack. It’s ridiculously easy to make and it’s pretty darn tasty. Enjoy!

Just so you know, creating a recipe title is hands down the hardest part of writing a recipe. I don't even know what's happening here. It's a type of bread. But it's not banana bread or zucchini bread or pumpkin bread. It's good. And there's a whole can of beans in there, so that's pretty tricky, no?

I wanted an easy and nutritious snack that we could pack up on the fly...so I made these cookies. They contain fat, protein and fiber—the 3 things I look for in a hearty snack. They’re super tasty (pleased both the adults and toddler), but definitely not your traditional chewy gooey chocolate chip cookie, more like a snack bar in cookie form. So heads up there. We’ve already made them 3 times. Try ‘em out!

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to get healthy. That’s not the issue. The issue is how we approach it. Diet culture instills unrealistic ideals of beauty and provides us with unhealthy ways of achieving them. And then they make a hefty profit.

I made this grain-free apple crisp two days in a row because my husband and kid ate the first batch while I was at yoga. Savages. Second time around I wrote down the recipe so I could share with you. Luuuuckkkkyyy. If you've recently visited an apple orchard with your family to post fall images all over social media, cheers. Now you're swimming in apples. Here's what to do with them.

Mint and chocolate is probably my favorite flavor combo. Junior Mints, Thin Mints, Andes, Peppermint Patties...always my top choice back in the day. I was trying to come up with something festive and different to make for Christmas this year, and THIS is what popped into the ol' brain. I've gifted some out, ate a lot, and will be bringing them as a treat to our (one of 5) Christmas gatherings.

A few months ago I was in a store and a fancy food product caught my eye: Vanilla Cake Batter Coconut Butter. I mean...WHAT. I've eaten coconut butter for years (and have even made it at home)...but this was some next level stuff. So despite the $13 price tag, I bought it (I'm kind of a sucker for novelty foods).

When the desire for a sweet treat sets in, I listen. Keep in mind, though, that pregnant or not, I'm a Real Food Junkie. So I'm not reaching for Pop Tarts or Oreos or Fig Newtons. Nope— I'm getting crafty in the kitchen, figuring out different ways to combine whole, real, nourishing foods and shape them into desserts that I feel good about eating.
