Sometimes in the world of nutrition, we can overcomplicate food and make healthy living more complicated than it needs to be. Don’t get me wrong,

I was walking through the grocery store the other morning and I could smell freshly baked cookies. I followed the smell and watched the bakers placing out big, soft and delicious oatmeal cookies in the display case. I, of course, enjoyed one while I did my grocery shopping feeling like I totally deserved this yummy treat for the busy work week I finished.
There is something about the smell of ginger cookies baking that just makes my house smell like Christmas. Now I like a good gingersnap cookie as good as the next person but I am a huge fan of the softer ginger cookies that melt in your mouth. My issue with most of them is they are loaded with cups of white sugar, oil and or butter to achieve that texture. I have played around with a few recipes in hopes to master all the components of a good ginger cookie while still keeping it nutritious.
Cakes, Cupcakes, and Brownies can look naked without a little frosting on top. However, your basic frosting recipe can pack on a lot of sugar and calories pushing your daily sugar intake over the edge. As always, I talk about balance and finding ways to take those foods we LOVE to eat and making them whole-foods based.
So, I know the initial reaction by most when you try to “healthify” a traditional Mac & Cheese is… “No Way!”. But this recipe is soo easy and so good. I often don’t tell people what is inside, I serve it like any other mac & cheese dish and watch everyone devour the creamy cheesy sauce before I tell them it’s naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly!
