Healthy Flourless Dark Chocolate Brownies
{Gluten & Dairy Free}
You know those annoying “ads” on Facebook that are so misleading? Like the picture of a banana with the title “10 foods that are slowly killing you”. Yeah, you totally know the ones. They’re a buzzkill. Sometimes I’m deceived and click on them and read the craziest things and always wonder…what are these sites that only have that stuff? Who’s making money from this? How is this a real thing? Who writes that stuff? Do people believe this stuff? I probably spend too much time thinking about it to be honest.
What does that have to do with brownies? Ummmm not much.
I think I saw one one time about being addicted to sugar and how sugar is the devil. Totally agree…sort of. Too people people eat too much sugar and sugar is unnecessarily added to so many things. While I struggle um, try really hard um, attempt to keep processed sugars to a minimum in our diet, natural sugars are fair game! Honey, syrup, all fruits, molasses, rapadura, yes please, sign me up.
Inappropriate side note: if you love black and sweet coffee, honey in coffee is delicious.
Focus. Back to the brownies! These puppies are made with beans and nuts (last time made dessert with beans it turned out great too) cocao powder and sweetness from maple syrup. They’re too good to be true! But it is true. +Plus+ if you add chocolate or carob chips you gets extra special gooey spots, which lets face it, just make the world a better place. 
100% disclosure here…. I’m having a hard time not making these every day and eating them and rationalizing it as healthy for me. So far only the one batch of them, but I can feel another one coming on. I mean c’mon you guys….like, how could you not?



You’re hungry for them now, right? Make them. You’ll love them. *pinkey swear promise*

If I’ve said it once (and I totally have), I’ve said it 1,390,423,825 times.I could live off of soup.
This past week was Saint Patrick’s Day and every year it makes me think of my Irish family heritage. My grandma used to make a delicious potato leek soup and I decided to make a faux creamy version and make it thicker and denser but with the same nostalgic flavor.
It’s thick and stick to your ribs-y (a made up adjective but you guys feel me, right??) it’s creamy and smooth but yet dairy free (unless you want to use dairy milk).


Don’t forget about the ‘schrooms too. They’re good enough to eat alone!



The weather the past week or so around here has been out of this world! In Wisconsin, weather fluctuates pretty extremely. One day could be 70 degrees and then you get snow the next. It’s a lot to handle sometimes.
TWO: combine all of your spinach and cheese filling ingredients in a bowl.
THREE: layer and assemble the lasagna. Follow those “layer instructions” below.
FOUR: finish the layers and then top generously with cheese, because #Wisconsin.
FIVE: bake it, divvy up, and devour ❤
Oh so delicious. I love nutmeg but some people are not big fans, you can omit if you would like, although I might judge your sanity because it’s so good. I could go on and on, but I’ll let these pictures speak for themselves. Hopefully you make this and love it too!


If you’re not drooling now, something might be wrong with you. Here’s the recipe so you can make this for yourself. 
We’ve had a LOT of new views and new subscribers in the past few days because of the love from and a post by 
I think I’ve found a new hobby, turning delicious foods into pizza. Like this incredibly, insanely delicious Bahn Mi pizza.
The first time I had Bahn Mi was several years ago at
Since national pizza day was this past Tuesday, I thought it was only fitting to share this recipe this week!
Soooooo good. Pizza is like the chameleon of food. There are so many possibilities and any type is amazing! No, try me…. name one that isn’t good. Didn’t think so 🙂 

Soooooooo full disclosure here, I have never been a fan of mayonnaise. You’re probably thinking “Um, what? Isn’t this post dedicated to mayo?”
Spicy, creamy, delicious. It’s the perfect way to get some healthy fats and tons of flavor to the tacos, or sandwiches or whatever else you put mayo on (I told you I’m new to this mayo world) 🙂
The possible best part of this, is that you make it right in the wide mouth jar that you store it in. NO DISHES!!!
TA-DA! Done. And all with ingredients you can name and recognize (unlike store-bought). I suggested a few flavor add ins but basically you could do anything you wanted!
This spicy sriracha one is so good. Next on my list I want to try a curry mayo, & do a curried chicken salad of some type.
A few action shots so you can see how thick and creamy it is. And of course, perfect on these delicious
