A citrusy cocktail with an herbaceous kick. This Thyme Infused Grapefruit Vodka Cocktail turns grapefruit into a deliciously smooth beverage for entertaining this summer.

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.
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.
Vanilla Coconut Cream Iced Latte
A vegan and gluten free iced latte with coconut cream, vanilla, some frozen banana, and a bit of agave. It’s deliciously frothy, light, and healthy. No creamer laden with sugar and “natural flavor.” No refined sugar or syrups. Just clean ingredients in this cold coffee beverage.
Walnut Maple Glazed Drop Scones
These healthier treats have a scone texture with a much easier method. Full of warm maple and walnut flavors and topped with a sweet maple glazed, these delicious drop scones are entirely vegan and gluten free.
Immunity Boosting Smoothie
I make a smoothie almost every morning for my boys. They love them, and it’s a great vehicle for getting all kinds of vitamins, antioxidants, and vegetables in them. Since we all just got over a cold not too long ago, and it’s still cold season (but isn’t it always cold season though?), I thought I’d try some ingredients rich with Vitamin C and immunity boosting properties. It’s incredible how delicious healthy food can be, and this smoothie is no exception.
Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies
These vegan and gluten free chocolate chip cookies are delicious. They’re the right amounts of soft and chewy, with a bit of delicious chocolate in each bite.
