Happy Saturday, it's almost Halloween! What I love about Saturdays is that I usually get to go wander around the farmers market, but because my car was frozen...I decided to stay in, enjoy some French press coffee and raspberry cream cold super oats!I've been having long discussions lately with Jessi about dulce de leche. During her trip to Argentina, she realized her deep and abiding love for the … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats
Look! The Great Pumpkin! People would be surprised that if you make a Rice Krispie Treat with margarine or using an alternative butter, they really aren't that high in calories. Yes, they have a high sugar content and no nutritional value, but they aren't the worst snack or dessert out there. It's hard to tweak the classic recipe, but I wanted to put an autumnal twist on it and health it up a … [Read more...]

Banana Cheesecake Pancakes
Good morning! Ah, yes, some will argue that there is no better way to start your day than with a stack of pancakes. I beg to differ...because why would you start your morning with pancakes when you can start your morning with cheesecake pancakes?!I was inspired to make these while reminiscing over an episode of Nigella. I absolutely love her, because she makes everything, from peas to milk and … [Read more...]
Kennedy Coffee: A Review
I am kicking off my first of a series of local reviews with Kennedy Coffee Roasting Co. I am going to do reviews of our local NWA gems that offer healthier choices, and tell you how to scour the menu for the lowest calorie alternatives.

Salty Sweet Popcorn
My name is Melissa, and I'm a popcorn-aholoic.Hello, Melissa.When I was in college, I went through a stage where I ate nothing but oatmeal and popcorn for every meal for weeks. Do NOT do this! I was in heaven, but extremely nutrient deficient. I'm sure my cholesterol levels were super low though (just a little rip on the oatmeal company and their promise to lower cholesterol). If you hadn't … [Read more...]
Vegan Garbanzo Bean Blondies
Packed with white chocolate!Yes, you read that title correctly! I'm branching into a different realm of baking here. Everybody has their own definition of what healthy is, and this is just another end of the spectrum. Not only am I wanting to try more vegan recipes, but I am trying more recipes that use strange ingredients, all in the name of health. Trust me on this one, you have to give it a … [Read more...]
Homemade Larabars: Peanut Butter and Jelly
I've gotten a bit out of control when it comes to my version of Larabars (Buddy Bars!). I love that they are all natural, raw, and nothing but fruit and nuts. My latest version is a classic PB&J. Now, who doesn't love a good PB&J?My food memory of peanut butter and jelly as a child is grape jelly, but today, I'm jumping in with strawberry. I found some awesome dried strawberries that were still … [Read more...]

After returning from the zoo, I decided to make a big batch of pumpkin muffins to gift to a friend of mine (if you … [Read more...]
Raspberry Cream Cold Super-Oats
Good Sunday morning to you! I love Sunday mornings, for more reasons than one. First and formost, it's the start of my "weekend" and 2 days off work. Second, I love nothing more than to hunker down on the couch, a giant cup of French-press coffee in one hand, a pair of scissors in the other, and a lap full of coupons. Saving money gives me a rush of excitement! This Sunday morning, however, is … [Read more...]
