What a great year 2014 has been! It was my second full year with the blog and another year of incredible growth and I’m extremely pleased with how the year went. I’ve got some big things happening in 2015 and can’t wait to show you! But for now, I’m going to share the top 14…
Raw Date Squares (Vegan and Paleo)
Raw date squares are a healthy and tasty way to indulge in a sweet treat! It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of simple, healthy desserts that require no cooking. Remember these coconut energy bars, chocolate truffles, and peanut butter cookies? So when I ran across this recipe from the Detoxinista, I knew I…
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Before you turn your nose up at the title of this recipe, stick with me here and let me explain. I, too, turned my nose up at the idea of chocolate avocado pudding. How in the world could avocados be dessert and actually make a delicious pudding? But I got curious enough to try it. …
Cinnamon Baked Apples
We got a bunch of apples in our co-op basket this week. I do love apples but I wasn’t quite sure what to do with all of them. I took some for snacks at work and “encouraged” my family to eat them. But we still had a bunch. I’m not big on applesauce so that…
Delicious (and easy) No Bake Chocolate Truffles
After experimenting with these raw brownies and loving them, I was really excited about trying other raw recipes – like chocolate truffles. And as much as I loved the brownies, I love these chocolate truffles even more! They are simple to make and eat! The dates give them a natural sweetness along with lots of fiber. …
Skillet Plum Cake
My family doesn’t eat many plums. And I had never even heard of plum cake before now. I’m not sure why….just something we don’t think of or have as a regular part of our diet. But we got 8 plums in our co-op basket this week so I had to do something with them to…
Healthy Banana Pudding
This is the guest post I did for Hungry Little Girl that was published on her page today. We could all use a little dessert, right?!? Thanks to Hungry Little Girl for allowing me to guest post today! Just a little about me: Howdy! My name is April Mims, founder of My Real Food Family. …
Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Ice Cream
Chocolate peanut butter banana ice cream – words I thought I would never be able to say again since I started eating clean. I came across several recipes for healthier versions of ice cream but I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about them. Ice cream is one of my favorite things in the entire…
Super Supper Sunday
Sundays around my house are typically rest days that end up being really productive. I know that sounds a little odd but the easier pace really allows me to get a lot of things done and sometimes even work in a nap. I like to tinker around in the kitchen and experiment with new recipes…
Apple and pear crisp
In our co-op basket this week we received a bunch of apples and pears. I love apples and make it a point to eat one every day but we had a lot of apples in the basket. Pears are a different story though….I will admit that I don’t really care for them. But we have…
