December can be a real son of a gun. I won’t lie friends. As I write this post, I have about 86 things on-the-go and I’m struggling to get my act together. Don’t get me wrong, decorating the tree, using copious amounts of butter for my holiday baking and watching my 1-year-old lose her mind (in…

How To: Snack Healthy – Vegan Banana Chocolate Muffins
I generally have at least four different nut/seed butters open in my fridge at one time. We’ve got the classic peanut butter, almond butter, my new favourite sunflower butter, and generally one other “special” one – right now it’s a coconut/peanut butter blend. Pretty darn delicious.

How To: Snack Healthy – Flourless Peanut Butter and Banana Muffins
Peanut butter and banana go together like leaves and fall. Peanut butter and banana go together like giraffe and tall. Peanut butter and banana go together like hat and head. Peanut butter and banana go together like pillow and bed. Oh sorry – got a little carried away there. I think I’ve read my daughters…
