These flourless chocolate cookies are so rich…you only need to eat one to fulfill even your most serious chocolate craving! For real. The ingredients are minimal. I added a little Taza salted almond dark chocolate because I had some on hand–and because it is the best chocolate I have ever tasted but semi-sweet chocolate chips […]

We all deserve a little treat now and again, right?  So, today, I am sharing a recipe from my childhood that I morphed a bit into a gluten free and low FODMAP treat.  The recipe of the day: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecakes.  Please take a peek! As a dietitian, I am all about eating healthy […]

Happy Monday! The sun is shining in my backyard this morning….which is a happy sight after a mostly rainy weekend. Despite the rain, Russ and I got in two nice runs.  Spring is sprung…and the green grass and budding trees are really so nice to see after our brutally cold winter! I am gearing up […]
