Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

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.

Double Chocolate Raspberries Creamsicles (Dairy-Free)

One of the greatest sounds you can hear as a kid as you are playing at the park is the sound of the ice cream truck driving by. That cheerful song that entices you to run up and view the colorful board of tasty frozen treats and make the hard decision about which one you will pick. It is amazing how food can bring us back to happy times like this or a certain smell can remind us of memories that are dear to our hearts.

The Easiest Vanilla Strawberry Chia Jam

In my experience Jam often gets a bad name as being a food loaded with sugar and traditionally not considered to be a healthy condiment. I absolutely love adding jam onto toast, mixed into yogurt, as a healthy swap for maple syrup on my pancakes, and of course, morning porridge would not be as fabulous without a little drizzle of a vibrant fruit preserve.
