raw coconut-pecan cocoa bites.
The only thing I like more than healthified desserts is making healthified desserts and force-feeding them to other people and sharing them with people I like… or people I would like to coerce into liking me. Just kidding. Most recently, I…

gluten-free coconut cocoa macaroons.

coconut squash macaroons.
It’s a [very] untraditional looking little Easter egg, no? I’m not much of an Easter chocolate or Easter baking kind of gal. Hot cross buns and Cadbury Creme Egg cupcakes aren’t really on my radar these days. Coconut, however, absolutely…

garlicky chard with leeks.
