Healthy Banana Smash Cake

I'm so excited about the way this smash cake turned out for my baby's 1st birthday! I wanted to make something healthy that wasn't going to give her a sugar rush and then crash. Nevermind that I've never made a cake by scratch before.. but this was actually pretty easy and everyone liked it! (or at least they said they did!) I am totally going to make it again just as a healthy cake for myself sometime! I am thinking a not-so-terrible cheat during figure competition prep? I mean oats and bananas are my staple figure prep carbs anyway! What you need: 5 ripe bananas 1&1/2 cup oat flour (I use my ninja blender to grind up oats into a flour but if you don't have a processor or blender that would do this you might be able to find oat flour or maybe go with coconut flour? vs white flour) 1/2 cup natural unsweetened apple sauce (Mimi's homemade is even better!) 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 teaspoons vanilla extract coconut oil spra...

Orangutans and Peanut Butter

You may be thinking... What do orangutans have to do with peanut butter?! Well... as I was thinking about peanut butter... my love for it... how much we have in our house which is a bit absurd, (yes, all of that peanut butter is in my cupboard right now) . . . I thought it would be good to share a little bit about the ingredients in your PB and what you're consuming/buying. I always recommend to people to use NATURAL peanut butter. It's always best to consume things that are natural and with minimal ingredients. This ensures you aren't consuming any unnecessary ingredients like chemicals. Yuk! If you're looking for a Natural Peanut butter... check out the ingredient list on the back. It should really only say "peanuts", often too you will see: sugar, salt and honey or peanut oil. All of these ingredients are ok too. One thing you don't want to purchase is a peanut butter that contains PALM OIL. Why would a peanut butter need palm oil if...

Cabbage salad

I've actually been craving a crispy cabbage salad lately and what better time than the beginning of January as I'm ready to get rid of this extra "baby weight" post 4th bio babe. Which is really just body fat from added calories from too many unnecessary processed carbs like muffins, cereal and cookies that seemed to make their way into my mouth often during pregnancy. 🙄🤦‍♀️ The hunger is real tho- so no judging haha! But now it's "Operation Lose 30" once again so I'm hitting the sweet tooth from all angles and filling the tummy with good nutrients but not calorie dense foods! What you need: Dressing ingredients: 4 oz apple cider vinegar ("with the mother" if possible) 4 tbsp stevia/sweetener of choice 1 tbsp unrefined coconut oil 1 tsp fresh ground pink Himalayan sea salt 1/2 tsp dry mustard 1/2 tsp celery seed 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper Salad ingredients : Small head of cabbage shredded or chopped (approx 500g) 1lb o...
