Pumpkin bread is delicious, warm, moist and delightful to your tastebuds. Too bad most pumpkin bread recipes incorporate one cup or more of sugar and oil! Now thats too much! I wanted to make pumpkin bread today, but not just any ordinary pumpkin bread,  a clean version with a summery twist, peaches. Yum, I can’t even describe the huge smile on my face as I tasted this ooey-gooey, naturally sweet delight, it was priceless.

Not to mention this satisfying wonder is all healthy, not a trace of preservatives or added flavors in it. Go ahead and make this new summer treat, you won’t be sorry! 🙂

Easy DIY Gourmet Nut Butter: Sunflower Cinnamon Raisin Peanut Butter

by 3 Comments

I always wanted to try those gourmet peanut butters, the ones they sell online and in grocery stores. They all look so good, but for 8$ per jar, no thank you! Also, many of them are loaded with sugar and artificial flavoring, not cool man, not cool. So I came up with my own version, healthy, filling, and oh so yummy. This spread is perfect on a banana, apple, toast, etc. It’s the best breakfast for those days when you are running late (which is almost everyday for me). Just Slather it on, take a bite, and savor this amazing peanut butter that taste just as good (*cough* *cough* better) than those pricey jars at the grocery store. Go ahead and smile because you know this is a brilliant idea! 🙂Processed with VSCOcam with f2 preset

Fast Fix: Low Calorie Microwaved Zucchini Bread

by 1 Comment

Who doesn’t love zucchini bread?  Its so moist and delicious and an easy way to sneak in an extra serving of veggies.  But what most people do not know is that it is laden with extra fat  and sugar from 1 cup oil and 2 cups of sugar for one loaf!  Thankfully, this recipe is just as delicious, but only sweetened with a little bit of honey and a dash of cinnamon.  You won’t find any added fat in this recipe either , because it has barely any.  Not to mention this recipe is only about 173 CALORIES (meaning you save about 150 for a regular slice).  Plus its made in a mere 5 MINUTES!  Whats not to love about this?

Creamy Microwaved Coconut Breakfast Rice Pudding

by 2 Comments

I was trying to come up with another interesting breakfast for today. I forced myself to stay away from the oatmeal in order to “think outside of the box,” and that I did. I mean, who doesn’t love rice pudding? Especially for breakfast, and healthy! Oh man I’m in for sure. This rice pudding is so incredibly easy, not to mention so good for you. It fills you up a lot, plus you get loads of nutrients, and the coconut milk makes it extra creamy, so there is no reason to add cream or butter! Naturally sweet with the raisins, this breakfast is perfect for a quick-fix, for your time and tastebuds!
