Green Tea is one of my favorite flavors because it’s so calm and soothing. When I drink green tea it makes me feel like I’m sitting at a breezy place (the beach in San Diego is my favorite) in a soft armchair enjoying good weather. Besides liking the tea itself, I’m obsessed with any food […]

Healthy Homemade Salted Caramel Sauce

Homemade salted caramel drizzle is amazing. Especially when it’s sans heavy cream and butter.  Even though this caramel is healthier, it still has all the delicious taste of salted caramel made with cream and butter = can we make an extra jar please?

vegan banana muffins

I used to make banana bread pretty regularly using butter and sour cream. It was tasty, but pretty unhealthy, so not something I would eat for breakfast. This banana muffin is the healthier and moister version of the banana bread I used to make. Plus it’s vegan! Because this is the lightened up version, you […]
