   This low-sugar oatmeal cake is made with whole-grain oats ground in a coffee grinder and topped with chopped dark chocolate and toasted walnuts. It contains no butter or additional oils. All the fat comes from almond flour, walnuts, and Greek yogurt. This delicious oatmeal cake is sweetened with organic coconut sugar in a decent amount: only 70 grams of coconut sugar for eight servings.  Whole-grain oats (or steel-cut oats ) require more liquid. I prefer to grind them since they are less soft than rolled oats. However,...

   I call this raspberry ice cream healthy because it is made with Greek yogurt instead of cream and coconut sugar instead of white sugar. It also uses three tablespoons of maple syrup for the entire batch. It contains no preservatives or other additives.  I am excited because I know what is in my ice cream and can also control the amount of sugar. This ice cream is full of raspberry flavor, creamy, and can be made in minutes.  It is a guilt-free treat made with only a...

    These Healthy Chocolate Energy Bars and my Vegan Lemon Energy Bars are my favorite on-the-go snack. They are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats and have a creamy vegan chocolate filling.  Years ago, I suffered from endometriosis. My road to recovery was through nutrition and quality supplements. At the time, I found that every time I ate cakes made with refined sugar and flour, it triggered the inflammation in my body and flared up the endometriosis.  Since I have a sweet tooth and know how addictive and...

What is the story behind it?  Years ago, I committed to a healthy lifestyle because of my health issues - anxiety, endometriosis, and moody menopause.   The hardest part was finding a healthy way to satisfy my sweet tooth and fuel my body with nutrients instead of spiking my blood sugar and promoting inflammation.   Since then, I have focused on creating nutritious desserts. After all, a delicious homemade cake is a delightful, heart-warming treat.   Every time I make a healthy treat, I focus on adding value to my health by...
