Cashew Brown Sugar Shortbread
Cashew Brown Sugar Shortbread! So good! This is going to sound strange but I’m hoping there’s at least one other person out there who will get this. Here it is, I could eat brown sugar with a spoon. I love the moist texture, the molasses notes and the way it dissolves on my tongue almost instantly. I warned you, strange, I know. Not so strange though is putting it in a cookie to create a delicious caramel like blanket over buttery shortbread, salted and roasted cashews and milk chocolate chips. Mmmm, Mmmm, good!

Maple Bacon Breakfast Cookie
Here it is folks! Oatmeal, currents, cinnamon, espresso, flaxseeds, chia seeds, almonds, chocolate, maple glaze and BACON all in one cookie. This is what I like to call the Maple Bacon Breakfast Cookie. This is breakfast food at its most decadent! The only question I have is, would it be weird to drink a cup of coffee with a cookie that already has espresso in it? Ahh, life’s choices can be so difficult, lol.

Fresh Coconut Dream Cake
I’m so excited to be able to share this Fresh Coconut Dream Cake with you. I had many ideas for the name of this cake (coconut avalanche cake, coconut best cake ever, coconut cake of my dreams…) but decided on Fresh Coconut Dream Cake because this cake is what I dream of when I think of coconut.

Blueberry Almond Muffins
[social_share]Yum
My family can’t wait for the weekend mornings. We always have a lot planned just like everyone else but we don’t set alarms or make any appointment like commitments. We just wake up when we’re ready, to be more accurate, when our daughter is ready, which is always about 2 hours sooner then we are, like 6:45am’ish. But I would rather be woke up by her then by my alarm.

Coconut Curry Shrimp On Bean Sprouts
Well as you can see from my last two posts I may have indulged a bit too much but can you blame me? Now its time to get back to some clean eating. In an effort to balance out my carb intake I made this delicious Coconut Curry Shrimp On Bean Sprouts. I have to admit I was a bit nervous. Thai is one of my absolute favorite cuisines and my favorite part of eating thai food are the sauces. I would usually sop up every last bit with white steamed rice. Pure comfort food in my book! So did I really want to take the chance of making something so comforting to me low carb?

White Chocolate Raspberry Lemon Tart
White Chocolate Raspberry Lemon Tart. This tart is like Christmas morning, all the preparing, anticipation, excitement and then over in a day. Just like the sad feeling you got as a child when you realized you opened your last present, the same feeling rushes over me as I realize I’ve eaten the last piece. This tart is one of those desserts you look forward to and eat all your veggies for knowing the best is yet to come.

Vanilla Curd Buttercream Sandwich Cookie
VANILLA BEAN, BUTTER AND SUGAR, OH MY!!! The only thing better than a sugar cookie is a sugar cookie with fresh vanilla beans. And the only thing better than buttercream is buttercream mixed with vanilla curd. And the only thing better than these two things alone is putting them together to create the best Vanilla Curd Buttercream Sandwich Cookie!!!!

Shrimp Lime Slaw Tostada
Today is filled with fond memories of a fun weekend with the family, great weather and great food. Seem’s like only 5 minutes ago I was wishing everyone a TGIF and now we’re here again on Monday. Wow how fast the weekend flies by. To celebrate the wonderful spring weather (and to balance out the sinful Peanut Butter Chocolate Pie I’ve been eating since Friday) I made a Shrimp Lime Slaw Tostada on a sprouted tortilla.
