My muffin-kick continues this week with spiced carrot muffins! One dessert that I happen to love, but rarely get, is carrot cake. Cake in general always just seems so tedious to make, and so I thought I’d simplify that craving into making carrot cake-esque muffins. The result is delicious, healthy, sugar free, oil free, vegan […]

Lately I’ve been on an Asian kick that I just can’t seem to get rid of! I swear all I’ve eaten last week and this week was different flavors of Asian cuisine. That being said, I did create a BANGING recipe that I’m excited to share today: Spaghetti Squash Pad Thai! This recipe is low […]
Sugar Free Lemon Blueberry Muffins – Oil Free, Fat Free, Sugar Free
This past Sunday was Easter, and while I don’t normally do anything fancy for the occasion, I was reeeallly in the mood to bake. Growing up my mom always made a morning brunch for the family on Easter Sunday. One of the things she always made was blueberry muffins, so it’s no surprise that when […]
Pear Applesauce with Granny Smith Apples – Sugar Free Applesauce
This pressure cooker pear applesauce is such a warm, tasty treat. I looove applesauce, and ever since I bought my Instant Pot pressure cooker I’ve been excited to try and make it from scratch. There is no added sugar in this recipe, it’s whole-foods-plant-based, and it can be made in less than 10 minutes! Getting […]
Kale Pesto With Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Walnuts – Healthy, Oil-Free and Dairy-Free
Pesto is one of those sauces I feel like I could put on anything! I love pesto pasta, pesto pizza, pesto on toast, pesto mixed with hummus, pesto tofu – you name it. Because it’s traditionally made with olive oil (a lot of olive oil) I used to only make pesto every once in awhile […]
Smoothie Bowl with Kiwi and Mango Rose – Spartan Life
Lately I’ve been seeing all sorts of creative and colorful smoothie bowl pictures on Instagram and thought “Hey, why not try and make one too?” : ) This whole-foods plant-based breakfast is super healthy as well. The base is made from blended frozen bananas and spinach to give it that nice green color. The toppings […]

This recipe has simple and common ingredients, simple instructions, and these can be […]
Spicy Bean Chili and Fiesta Cornbread – Spartan Life
For Christmas my boyfriend got me The China Study Cookbook, something I had really wanted, and I was finally able to try a recipe from it! I don’t think I even like cornbread all that much, but when I saw the picture in this book for “Fiesta Cornbread” it just looked so good. I knew […]

Banana Pancakes – only 2 ingredients!
Did you know that you can create healthy pancakes with only two ingredients? That’s right, two ingredients. I’m finding out lately that I love to cook and try new recipes. Unfortunately, I’m also a very busy person and can’t afford to spend hours in the kitchen every night creating meals. This is one of the […]
Healthy Chia Pudding
I’ve been doing a lot of healthy baking lately such as healthy two ingredient oatmeal & chocolate-chip cookies, three ingredient healthy chocolate-chip muffins, etc. I felt like switching it up this weekend and I made three different flavors of healthy chia pudding cups! These things were SO good, and typical of all my dessert recipes, […]
