If you couldn’t already tell, our favorite recipes to make are cakes and breads, but I don’t think there is anything wrong with that, you guys seem to love cakes and breads too! There is just something so satisfying about have a big slice of cake/bread for breakfast with coffee, it just starts the day off so right, don’t you agree? Well anyways, if you couldn’t already tell, today’s recipe is a cakey bread, let’s get to it!

So I’ve seen so many people use apple cider vinegar (ACV) in baking and at first I’ll admit, I thought it was kinda weird. More and more people started to use it in baked goods and raved about it so I decided to hop aboard and give it a try and now I am a huge fan! There is just something so awesome about using ACV in baked goods in combination with baking soda, it makes the texture more fluffy, and who doesn’t like fluffy cakes/breads!?

Instead of traditional ACV, I used Fire Cider’s Apple Cider Vinegar & Honey Tonic to give this bread even more umphhh and add a nutritional boost! This bread is super duper easy to make and oh so delicious with the amazing combo of cranberry and orange.

The ingredients include:

Almond flour

Baking soda

Almond butter

Applesauce

Fire Cider Tonic

Egg/flax egg

Orange juice

Orange zest

Cranberries

You will love this delicious gluten-free orange cranberry bread complete with a cream cheese glaze! Such a perfect and nutritious breakfast, snack or dessert for you and your family!

Dark Chocolate Orange Oatmeal Brûlée

February 6, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 18 Comments

I love chocolate (who doesn’t right?), especially dark chocolate. I love the bitter yet slightly sweet taste of it. I remember sampling a piece of fine dark chocolate with a hint of orange from Paris and it was out of this world! I missed that flavor so much that I NEEDED to recreate it. And of course it had to be oatmeal, because I eat oatmeal everyday! Not any kind of oatmeal, oatmeal brûlée because it is fancier and more amazing than regular oats! This flavor combo may be the most amazing yet, thanks to the bitterness of the cocoa paired with the sweet acidity of the orange. You will not be disappointed!

Recipe Redux: Dark Chocolate Orange Biscotti

November 21, 2014 by Bethany And Rachel 36 Comments

These Dark Chocolate Orange Biscotti Cookies are dipped in chocolate and are a delicious and gluten-free way to enjoy your favorite cookies!

I am so excited to share this recipe as it is my first post for Recipe Redux! Here is this month’s theme:

“A Food Memory For Which You Are Thankful” “In the US, November marks the Thanksgiving holiday. But many of us are especially thankful for food memories we have shared with friends or relatives throughout our lives. Was it a special meal you ate as a child? Or, maybe it was a food you grew and harvested with your own children. Please share one of your favorite food memories and the healthier “redo” of the recipe.”

I come from an italian family where biscotti is made for every occasion. I am thankful for my Grandmother’s biscotti, the best there is. Every holiday, I can always expect a giant plateful of my favorite cookie waiting for me! My Grandmother is almost 90 years old and she still makes them for every holiday! So of course I had to recreate them with a healthy and gluten-free version!

These might not be up to par with my Grandmother’s biscotti, but I think they are pretty darn tasty!

My favorite kind is the vanilla biscotti with a hint of orange flavor dipped in dark chocolate. They are flavor-packed, like a party in your mouth. I wanted to create a healthy version with the same flavor, just not all the calories, sugar and extra fat the came along with it. These are so tasty! Dip them in a hot cuppa’ joe or a big tall glass of ice cold milk ( almond milk of course :)). So satisfying with al the fiber, you will not feel guilty eating them!

Tilapia is the most versatile fish. With such a light taste and a flaky texture, it can be paired with almost any flavor! Not to mention this white fish is low in calories and fat and packed with satisfying protein! When I was out to dinner at the beach, I ordered pistachio tilapia and it was out of this world! I knew i needed to recreate it! But this time I added the juice and zest from an orange to take it a notch above! And all I can say is WOW! An explosion of flavor in your mouth!

1 egg or 2 egg whites, beaten
2 Tbsp. freshly squeezed juice form an orange

In a food processor, pour in pistachios and blend for about 10 seconds, or until crumb-like.
