These snackable smokey salmon appetizer bites are topped with tangy creme fraise, capers and lemon zest and sit atop a crispy yuca chip. I love my appetizers and I love to snack. I like to try many things. I'm that kinda girl who orders a plate based on what everyone else at the table is ordering because I just can't commit to one dish! Yes, I realize this is an annoying trait ...

Peppermint Crunch Cups{Gluten, Dairy & Refined Sugar Free!}
These Peppermint Crunch Cups are filled with creamy minty coconut, sandwiched between two dark chocolate layers. They are so easy to make (15 minutes and a saucepan is all you need) and happen to be gluten, dairy and refined sugar free, paleo and pegan friendly as well! These delectable treats are so addictive- you have been officially warned! I made a tray yesterday- 24 ...
Spicy & Creamy Sonora Dip {Gluten Free-Vegan-Healthy}
This creamy and spicy dip is so flavorful and pairs perfectly with tortilla chips, fresh veggies, and crackers. Not only does it taste amazing, but it is healthy, vegan, dairy free and gluten free! I love dips! There is something so fun and rewarding about dipping your favorite dip receptacles into a giant bowl of something really devine! Some of my favorite dips include ...
Caramelized Kimchi Fries {Lightened-up, Gluten Free, Vegan}
Confession- I am a food truck junky! Having lived in Austin, which very well may be the food truck mecca of the world, I have dabbled in all sorts of adventurous cuisine. The stranger the dish sounds, the better. For some reason I really trust food trucks, and expect that even though the dish may sound weird, it must be good, because after all, it’s a food truck, right!? It’s ...
Pineapple and Orange Fluff Parfait {Skinny, Gluten Free and Vegan Options}
This beautiful layered parfait is basically an ambrosia copycat. I had no idea what ambrosia was until a few years ago when I encountered the strange concoction at a BBQ. I spotted a large glass bowl billowing with white fluffy fluff stuff, dotted with orange and yellow bits- What the heck is that I asked? "Oh that’s ambrosia- just try it," was the reply. Which I did, as I’m ...
Charred Shishito Peppers with Creamy Sriracha Sauce
These little green peppers make the perfect light, low cal, and healthy snack or appetizer and take 10 minutes to make. They are a fun to eat finger food, and eating them is like a game of Russian Roulette! About 1 in 10 are spicy, all the others being very mild, and you never know when you are going to get that spicy surprise! If you like spice, don't fret, ...
{No-Bake}Chocolate Hazelnut Bars
This past week I set out to make a high protein, nutrient dense, and energy packed bar that tastes great, and the result was something that would pass as a dessert(that is, if you like chocolate, peanut butter and hazelnuts!- but who doesn’t really!?)! I stored these tasty bars in the fridge and they were a great grab-and-go snack that left you full and satisfied, while ...
Frosted Grapes with Dark Chocolate Drizzle
When you want something LIGHT, SWEET, and COLD on a hot summer day, frozen grapes are a super healthy snack to pop poolside while soaking up the sun! Sure you can just throw some grapes in the freezer, but why not dress them up a little, right? A little coconut sugar and chocolate drizzle turns a healthy snack into a no-guilt dessert and you feel fancy eating something so ...
Apple Pie Fruit & Nut Bars
The yummiest KIND* bar is hands down the Apple Pie flavor, although they are all excellent. We discovered these gems at a coffee shop in Austin, and for some reason it was the only place that sold this amazing flavor. Having moved recently, I went out to search for the delectable bars. I made my way to Whole Foods and scoped out the enormously large selection of healthy ...
