Almond Fig Thumbprint Cookies (GF, V)

Every time I make these, they’re gone by the next day, and it’s just too easy…so be warned.  These cookies have a similar consistency and texture to shortbread, but softer, with all the flavors of sweet almonds and gooey fig jam.

Vegan and gluten free chocolate chip cookies with coconut flakes and plant based ingredients that have a satisfying crunch, a whole lot of sweetness and perfectly gooey chocolate.

Arbonne Vanilla Protein Pancakes

Made with just a handful of ingredients, and best of all, you can make these in a blender for easy clean-up.  I personally love the flavor of the plant-based Arbonne vanilla protein powder, but really any vanilla protein will work.

It wasn’t until I started an elimination diet/detox that I quickly became a baker.  The need for comforting baked goods went through the roof, and although I’m not craving sweets, I am craving a warm muffin…like all the time.  These hit all the marks, and my goodness the aroma of orange and lemon zest waft

Blueberry Walnut Muffins (GF, V)

Never in my life have I considered myself a baker until now.  I am two weeks into a 30 day cleanse with Arbonne and I was craving some baked goods, so, here we have it, Arbonne-approved gluten-free, dairy free, vegan blueberry and walnut muffins.  Moist, soft and oh so delicious, you’ll want to make these

Cinnamon & Honey No-Oats Granola

Store-bought granolas and nut mixes can get very expensive, and not so great on the waistline.  In my effort to find yet another new and exciting breakfast idea, I turned to an oldie but a goody – homemade granola. This no-oats granola is baked with honey, cinnamon, sea salt and coconut oil for a deliciously sweet,

Torn Sourdough Croutons

We need to talk about croutons. They are so incredibly easy to make and store well in a plastic bag for up to three days after making.  I feel as if this needs to be a public service announcement.   It wasn’t until today that after enjoying some Papa Pomodoro Soup with Ryan did I realize
