Banana Cashew Chocolate Chip Cookies

For the past month, I have been eating a pretty restricted diet due to a food intolerance test I took in December. Turns out, I'm sensitive to so many different foods that I usually eat ever day, including peanuts, wheat, gluten, dairy, almonds, coconut, soy, oats, eggs and like 20 other things. Crazy, I know. …

Roasted Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potatoes are one of my favorite carbs. I actually prefer them to regular potatoes because they have so much more flavor and are more nutritious, but are still just as versatile as regular potatoes. My absolute favorite way to make sweet potatoes is to roast them, just like these fries. I make these a …

Cocoa-Nut Granola

I absolutely love granola. I love how versatile and delicious it is. What I don't like about it? Most of the granola's that you can buy at the grocery store are loaded with tons of sugar, artificial vitamins, and filled with cheap, filler grains (like puffed rice), and they're expensive! I wanted to make my …
