- Frozen Banana Nut Butter Bites
  
  Posted at 8:08 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on July 30, 2013
  My 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. Continue reading →

- 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
  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 →

- Paleo English Muffin Anyone?
  
  Posted at 7:34 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on July 16, 2013
  Tonight, I whipped up this gluten free and dairy free “English Muffin” from 5 ingredients and cooked it in the microwave for 2.5 minutes.
  
  I have not had bread (or anything resembling an English Muffin) in a very long time so this is a very exciting discovery for me.
  
  My English Muffin popped out of the glass dish and was incredibly fluffy.
  
  I spread on some coconut oil and blueberry spread and it was absolutely delicious. It was the perfect snack to enjoy with a relaxing green tea.
  
  I discovered the hashtag #Paleo while searching Instagram for food inspiration. I’ve known about the Paleo diet for some time but never realized all the great recipes it has to offer.
  
  I will definitely be incorporating some of the amazing looking recipes into my diet.
  
  Desserts, ice cream, cakes, pancakes…all wheat free and dairy free! My kind of food. Continue reading →

  I’m sure you’ve heard the saying you are what you eat. Agreed.
  
  Don’t let “Healthy Eating” overwhelm you. It can be fun, simple and delicious.
  
  Best part-rewarding.

- Strawberry Smoothie Dessert
  
  Posted at 12:37 pm by Hollie Jeakins Photography, on July 5, 2013
  Strawberries. The word alone can conjure up images and thoughts of red, vibrant, juicy sweetness. Is there anything better than a big bowl of fresh, local, organic strawberries?
  
  Honestly…I can’t think of anything even close. Summer to me equals yummy, fresh picked berries. Lots and lots of berries.
  
  Last week I received 4 quarts of local, organic strawberries with my CSA share! I felt a little like Strawberry Shortcake in Strawberry Land.
  
  I was super excited and a tad bit worried. How would my family consume 4 quarts of berries without letting them go bad. Local organic berries have a very short shelf life. A couple of days, max. Continue reading →
