    • Savoury Breakfast Muffins Recipe

      Posted at 1:54 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on February 9, 2016

      I wasn’t planning on making these muffins.  If I remember correctly, I wasn’t in a baking mood.

      It was pretty early in the morning, but my daughter had woken up full of energy.  I felt a little tug on my arm with her cute little voice saying “let’s make muffins mommy!”   She’s lucky she’s so darn cute!

      Our kitchen was pretty much bare.  You know the feeling you get the day before grocery shopping when you swear you see tumbleweeds in your cupboards?  I really had no idea how we were going to bake muffins.

      I first thought bananas but of course we were out of those.  Apple sauce? Nope, out of that too.

      I popped my head into the fridge and found the golden ticket: leftover soup!  My Roasted Tomato + Carrot Soup from last week’s post.

      The texture was close enough to a mashed banana consistency so we went with it.

      I’m glad we did because they turned out amazingly well!  The aroma must have been pretty great as well because as soon as the muffins came out of the oven, the rest of the family began crawling out of bed.  Isn’t it interesting that they just happen to wake up right after fresh baked muffins come out of the oven?

    • Tropical Kiwi Berry Bliss

      Posted at 5:30 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on August 5, 2013

      20130729-132928.jpg

      I was relaxing on a sandy beach, with the balmy salt breeze and sunny rays.  While listening to the sound of the waves splashing against the seacoast…

      In the near distance I see a glass bowl overflowing with luscious, juicy, vibrant berries.  I walk towards it…

      BUZZZZZ the alarm clock goes off and I’m staring up at my bedroom ceiling.

      No beach.

      No berries.

      It was all a dream.  A dream that ended one step away from tasting those delicious berries.  Don’t you just hate it when a good dream is cut short?

      That was when I decided I would depart on a mini-vacation.  There would be no passport, packing or destination required for this trip.  I would bring the tropics to me.  And of course the berries. Continue reading →

    • Frozen Banana Nut Butter Bites

      Posted at 8:08 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on July 30, 2013

      20130728-094212.jpgMy hubby and 4.5 year old are constantly sniffing around the kitchen in search of “treats.”

      I’m convinced that my husband sends our little guy into the kitchen on “treat” missions.  He knows I’m a sucker for my son’s little smile and sweet “please mommy” with those big blue puppy dog eyes.

      Last week, my son came upstairs searching for something to snack on.  He asked for something yummy…like a chocolate bar…”a super treat”.

      I’ve learned that coming up with tasty and healthy treats takes some creativity.  There are many healthy options that you can make from scratch that often require minimal ingredients and time.

      “Super treats” as my son likes to say!

      Say hello to Frozen Banana Nut Butter Bites.  These babies take just five minutes to make, only require 3 healthy ingredients, and most importantly  are “super treats” approved by my son and husband.

      They are similar to an ice cream chocolate nut bar (especially in a kid’s eyes) because these bites are creamy, nutty, smooth and crunchy.  The only things missing are unhealthy ingredients, loaded refined sugar, preservatives and sensitivity triggering foods!  These are items I’m extremely happy to live without.

    • Raw Lemon Coconut Truffles Review & New Recipe: Crazy Cacao-Coconut Nut Butter Balls

      Posted at 6:16 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on July 24, 2013

      20130717-095929.jpg

      I recently came across the beautiful and inspiring site Petite-Kitchen.com and the recipe for Raw Lemon Coconut Truffles caught my eye. The recipe was simple, free of refined sugar, grain-free and full of natural whole foods ingredients.

      I used my Vita-mix to blend the few ingredients and then hand molded the resulting mixture into little balls. To finish, I rolled them in unsweetened coconut. The process almost too simple to believe the end result could be so decadent.

      I placed the mini truffles into the freezer and waited patiently.

      After 2 hours I took two truffles out. The truffles looked as if they were covered in a light dusting of fresh snow. How beautiful!

      A freshly steeped green tea combined with the cold and creamy truffle was the perfect mix. I felt like a child in a candy store. The only difference is this “candy” is so healthy and nutrient rich with no refined sugars or unnatural ingredients.

      Wide eyed and full of excitement…I took my first bite. Amazing…the truffles lasted but a few minutes. Continue reading →
