Baked Goodies
Clean Eating Individual Apple Crisps
Fall is in the air and what better way to welcome this cool, brisk, colorful season than with a sweet, warm, ooey, gooey, apple crisp?!
But as we all know, too much of a good thing is simply too much, so I thought I would encourage the practice of moderation by making this crisp into individual sized portions. This way I could enjoy a little seasonal, sweet treat without over indulging (which I have been known to do when presented with warm fruit desserts!).
Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp
There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of things one can do with rhubarb other than mixing it with something sweet, like strawberries or apples, to balance out it’s natural tartness.
I once tried to incorporate rhubarb into a lentil dish based on a recipe by Mark Bittman and am sad to report that it was a big fat flop (in defense of Mark I did stray from the recipe and take full blame for the outcome)! So this time I wanted to travel a more familiar road with my rhubarb, something a little more tried and true.
Roni’s Banana Oatmeal Cups
Your morning bowl of oats just got a whole lot easier thanks to my friend Roni over at GreenLiteBites.
Roni took all of the ingredients that one might put into their morning bowl of oats and created these super tasty, super convenient Banana Oatmeal Cups.
Black Bean Brownies
As I was trying to think of yet another recipe I could smear my Agave Sweetened Chocolate Icing all over for Valentine’s Day, brownies popped into my brain.
I have been reading about Back Bean Brownies for some time now and was rather intrigued by the idea of using a can of black beans in a batch of brownies, so I thought, “hey… now’s my chance!”.
There’s just something fun about incorporating a nutrient rich ingredient like black beans into what would normally be nutrient-depleted, yet delicious sweet treat! Wouldn’t you agree?
But here’s the thing…
Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones
Big, fat, plump, juicy blueberries have been all over the place lately, which is really no surprise considering it is berry season, but very exciting none-the-less!
Bite-Sized Blueberry Bran Muffins
Remember the abundance of blueberries I mentioned a few weeks back when I was making my Whole Wheat Blueberry Scones?

Now I’m not bragging… but the truth is that I don’t like to watch the news and I very rarely read the newspaper.
What can I say, I’m a sensitive kind of gal and more times than not the news leaves me with thoughts and images in my mind that I find I am better off without!
Enter my husband…
“Lower-Cal” Chocolate Walnut Cookies
I’ll be the first to say that a cookie is a cookie and if your looking for the nutritional profile of a bowl of cabbage soup then by all means DON”T MAKE COOKIES!
I mean c’mon, a cookie is a sweet.
It’s a treat.
It’s an indulgence…
Fruit Nut & Oat Cookies
If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, surely you don’t need me to tell you that I am certainly not the world’s most proficient writer;). Short and to the point tends to be my basic style, so while after eating these cookies I had a hundred of different ways to explain just how absolutely d’lishes they are, the only thing that I can think to say about them now is, “Holy Yum!”.
