A Sweet Surprise

This past weekend, I received a surprise package! If you watched my Instagram stories, you would have seen the unboxing of an amazing delivery of goodies from Lily’s Sweets. Lily’s makes incredible chocolates that are sweetened with stevia instead of regular sugar. I love eating their chocolate, not only because of the reduced calories, but also because it tastes good while also being healthier for you.

For the kick off of my Happy, Healthy, Holidays this December, I’m sharing a recipe using some of the chocolate chips that Lily’s Sweets sent me. Yay for chocolate!

The Ultimate Thanksgiving Side Dish

Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes? It’s that creamy, comforting side dish that always seems to hit the spot! Well, what if I told you that you could make mashed potatoes with sweet potatoes? And you can add even more vegetables into it without tasting it???

Welcome to the world of Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Butternut Squash! My mother-in-law, Sandra, invented this recipe and really my only role in this recipe is to season it, taste it and season it again. So major kudos goes to Sandra! Thank you for letting me share this recipe!

Pumpkin and Orange Mini Bundt Cakes

It’s Almost Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I am sharing some fun, new recipes to healthify your Thanksgiving meal!

First up, are these Pumpkin and Orange Mini Bundt cakes. I wanted to come up with a Thanksgiving dessert that was gluten free, dairy free (without the icing) and refined sugar free BUT still tasted amazing! So, I came up with this mini bundt cake. Plus anything mini is instantly cuter and more delicious. Amiright?!?!

 

Thanksgiving Mini Bundt Cakes

These mini bundt cakes are based off of my Healthy Chocolate Coconut Bundt Cake. Instead of chocolate, I used some pumpkin puree and instead of milk, I used some freshly squeezed orange juice. To capture that Thanksgiving flavor, I added some ground cinnamon too.

If you don’t have a mini bundt cake pan, you could even make this recipe as cupcakes. They would still be just as cute and equally as delicious!
