Leave a Comment

I Love the Holidays!

I love this time of year. Warm sweaters are getting worn, cozy fireplaces are being lit and comforting mugs of your favorite hot beverage are warming your chilled hands. 

The other thing I love about the holidays are the holiday parties! It’s a great opportunity to catch up with friends and families to celebrate everything that happened this year. Well, this year, one of my holiday parties was virtual! Myself and two other amazing foodies teamed up to host a virtual holiday party and share our favorite sweet treat recipes. They are:

  • Maria Paula, Prime All Instinct, with her Fig Kissed Butter Cookies: Instagram, Blog
  • Susie Trigg Tucker with her Peppermint Chocolate Truffles: Instagram

These ladies are so fun and so creative with their recipes! Make sure you check out their Instagram and blogs for the other incredible treats! Yum!!!

Cookie Time!

This easy gluten-free sugar-free sugar cookie recipe base was perfect for making thumbprint cookies. Raspberries were on sale at my local grocery store so I used them for the filling. And lastly, no sweet treat of mine is complete without… CHOCOLATE! A drizzle of my fave sugar-free Lily’s Chocolate Chips were the final touch to my new holiday cookie! You can pick up some of their chocolate chips at this affiliate link.

Happy Blog-iversary!

Last week, I celebrated my 1 Year Anniversary for this blog, NourishwithRenata.com! Over the last year I have seen so many amazing things happen with this blog. In addition to posting weekly recipes, I have been able to host cooking classes and demos, meet so many incredible people and be featured on various podcasts and media outlets. I’ve started playing around with videos, improved my skills with my website and even launched a free e-book! I never imagined that I would have accomplished so much in 12 months. And I can’t wait to see what happens next!

How It All Started

For this blog post, I wanted to do something a little different. As some of you know, my healthy food journey really started after the birth of my first child, Olivia. As a first time mother, I was not prepared for how difficult everything would be. I was utterly exhausted, I struggled breast feeding her, and to make it worse, she barely slept and cried all the time. I lost all confidence in being able to be a mother for my child
