Whole Wheat Carrot Cake

My mother made this recipe and for all the healthy stuff in this cake, it was delicious!  This cake is very moist, and the neat thing about this recipe is that you can really adjust it to your own preferences. I will definitely be making this cake, one day!

Red Pepper Vingerette

My friend Rana makes this dressing often. I was at her house the other day and she put it on my salad, I loved it!! It tastes kind of like a red French dressing (which I love but is not very good for you), this is a great alternative!

This is a variation of a recipe I found on Allrecipes.com, I made these tonight with the boys, they helped with a few of the ingredients and then mostly helped by scooping the contents onto the foil. These turned out really well and I was surprised at how much they tasted like the “real” ones! […]

Raw Granola Bars

We made this a few days ago and the whole family loves it! It’s a really healthy snack and has lots of raw seeds that they wouldn’t normally eat by themselves. I send a couple bars with my husband for breakfast and give smaller portions to my kids after lunch, they love them.
