I cannot believe it’s almost Easter already! Honestly, our first winter flew by. We were lucky and had it very mild compared to other states, that’s for sure. If you’re new here, you might not know that I actually grew up Christian (mom) and Jewish (dad). Our little family along with my dads side of the family all celebrated them both. My Jewish grandma always thought it was fun to have a Christmas tree. I know this isn’t conventional but it was normal for us and I love that I was exposed to both!

That being said – I’ve made a little Easter cookie cake recipe for you guys. Kevin and I completely downed this thing in like two days. It’s so dang good. It’s gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free! Weeeeee! I make things this way because it makes me feel better physically but honestly, also mentally. I feel better about my decisions. That’s just real life. We all want to be healthy without the sacrifice of flavor and dessert. I will never give up dessert and neither should YOU!

Ok, I know what you’re thinking, if it’s free of all of those things, 1. How could it even be good? And 2. What is it even made out of? I can happily tell you that this cookie cake recipe is phenomenal and not phenomenal for being β€˜healthy’ it’s just DAMN GOOD. I use a mix of almond flour and all purpose gluten free flour (heeyyyy-o trader joes). It also has quite a bit of peanut butter in it, which you can totally sub in for any nut or seed butter of your choice.

Confession

In the spirit of Easter, I really wanted this to look festive and unfortunately there aren’t any pastel colored healthy M&Ms, so I used the real stuff! If you want to make this completely dairy free, obviously go ahead and take those out and add some healthy-ish ones or just leave them out completely and use chocolate! I think it looks pretty cute with the pastel colors though. Also, who doesn’t love cookie cake recipe? If you don’t you must be some sort of alien or something.

One Bowl

Did I mention this was a total one bowl situation? It’s so fast, you literally throw everything into a bowl and mix it up like you’re 5 years old playing outside in the mud making β€˜soup’, no? just me? Cool Cool.

I’ve said before how important it is to have things on hand in your pantry and fridge to throw together – staples. The staples in my house include gluten-free flour and coconut sugar, baking soda, and baking powder which makes baking anything on a whim really simple for me. I get serious cravings and then I want to make it that day, I need it now.

Serving

Since this is a thick cookie cake recipe, I think the best/only way to eat this is with some dairy-free (or not) ice cream or whipped cream and preferably right as it’s out of the oven. If you’re me – you’ll like this cookie cake straight out of the fridge! I feel like so many people snub their noses up at the desserts in fridge situation before they even give it a chance. Give it a chance people! The texture is completely different and so so good!

Whatever you celebrate I hope you’ll try this cookie cake recipe because, if I could I would hand deliver one to every single one of you. I love it so much. Please please share your creation on the gram, on here, on facebook, in my email, whatever you’re feelin’ that day!

sharing my morning workout routine with you in par sharing my morning workout routine with you in partnership with @blueberries πŸ‘‰πŸΌ it’s been looking a little different these days. Instead of lifting heavy weights in my living room - I’m lifting watering cans, bags of soil and mulch outside to nourish my garden! 🌿 so once I’m finished with making sure all of my plants are happy, I need some serious refuel. Blueberries are abundant in anthocyanins (plant compounds that give them their beautiful blue color) and are a good source of vitamin C, which means they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties to help with muscle recovery. Not to mention, these little gems contain fiber which helps to keep me full!
 
Add cinnamon and cardamom to the Blueberry Milk recipe from https://blueberry.org/recipes/blueberry-milk/ to make it a Blueberry Cobbler Iced Coffee! Tell me, how do you refuel after a morning workout? 🫐 #ad
