Roasted Strawberry Breakfast Cake with Honey Drizzle
This cake is lightly sweetened and just dense enough to be between a cake and a bread. But we’re calling it a cake because it’s just so pretty and who wouldn’t want to eat cake at any time of the day?
Mango Pineapple Salsa
This mango pineapple salsa can be eaten with chips, over tacos, and topped on a burger. It’s a great summertime snack or late night treat, while being full of healthy vitamins and natural sugars. It is sweeter and fruitier than your typical tomato salsa. The acid from the lime and the dash of cilantro mellows out the sweet pineapple and mango until it’s heaven in a bowl (or on a chip).
Double Chocolate Muffin Tops with Vanilla Bean Icing
The recipe is super simple and makes a delicious batch of muffin tops, arguably the best part of a muffin. These baked beauties have a deep chocolate flavor enhanced by espresso powder, and a sprinkle of mini chocolate chips throughout. The sweet vanilla bean icing drizzled on top pushes these closer to that fine line between breakfast and dessert.
Almond Butter Granola Bars
These healthier almond butter granola bars are one of our favorites. They taste just like cookies but are a little more dense, making them a perfect granola bar. Using mini, dairy free chocolate chips gives these bars a bit of chocolate in each bite.
Cacao Nib Skillet Blondies
These blondies flaunt a crusty edge and chewy center, with an overall sweet cookie-like texture. It is incredibly buttery, despite using no butter, and bitter-sweet cacao nibs add a delicate crunchy texture to this sweet dessert.
Walnut Crusted Pork Chops with Pear Chutney
These walnut crusted pork chops sound and look difficult but they’re actually very easy. You can even make some of it ahead of time, or the whole thing and reheat in the oven. It’s a quick and easy meal that’s sure to impress your dinner guests. The warm and earthy notes from the walnut encrusted pork works exceedingly well with the sweet and savory pear chutney. The dijon used in both the pork and chutney brings the entire dish together.
Maple Kabocha Ice Cream (Vegan)
This unexpected ice cream has the consistency and smoothness of ice cream while remaining dairy free and vegan. With a creamy maple kabocha flavor, reminiscent of a lightly sweet pumpkin pie, this frozen dessert is delectable and may easily become a fall favorite.
Salted Pistachio Skillet Blondies
Pistachios add a distinctness to this sweet treat, and are scattered throughout the chewy and tender blondie. This cookie bar is buttery (sans butter), chunky, and sprinkled with large sea salt flakes to enhance the flavors in this delicious dessert.
Healthy Swedish Meatballs
A riff off of the traditional Swedish meatballs, this dish boasts the same flavor with healthier ingredients. Saucy with a hint of sweet, these meatballs are gluten free, refined sugar free, soy free, and dairy free. Serve over spaghetti squash or polenta for a deeply satisfying meal.
