CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...]

Ohh but they are tasty! And you'll never guess what's in them. Or better yet, what's NOT in them. :) I love the challenge of making baked goods out of "healthy" things. My intention isn't to necessarily duplicate traditional baked goods but to make tasty treats that are yummy and add SOME nutritional value to our [...]

I'm not a baker. You'll be able to tell with this recipe and my lack of basic baking equipment like parchment paper and piping bags. Don't get me wrong I find baking fun but honestly, I'm a rebel in the kitchen. I don't follow recipes or recommended cooking techniques. I simply don't believe there is [...]

I made these on a complete whim this morning. A few days ago I caught this Molasses Cookie recipe post on Black Book Kitchen Diaries and the seed was planted. Molasses cookies! I couldn't get them out of my head. I thought about them for days. Of course I "Roni-fied" the recipe. I wanted to see [...]

I'm prefixing these with "Vegan" not because I'm marketing them as such but because it immediately warns you that they are untraditional. I have no issues with Vegan desserts. If anything, I find them fascinating because they push the envelope and prove you can make yummy healthy things without the traditional loads of butter, eggs [...]

Update 2: Homemade Almond Milk the Video! I'm obsessed. I love the fact that I can make my own "milk" out of super healthy almonds. I love that the toddler likes it. I love that we use it on morning cereal. And now... I love that it comes with cookies!! :) Let me explain. I took [...]

A couple of months ago I saw a recipe for Chocolate Sweet Hearts in my Everyday Food Mag. It intrigued me and I immediately thought of a few ways to tweak it a bit for GreenLiteBites. I finally got a chance on this snowy Monday to give it a try. Well... I'm SO happy with [...]

I've been DYING to share this idea with you. It's my new favorite snack! :) Here's how I made the batch in the video. Remember, take the idea and run with it! :) 6 won ton wrappers 1/2 cup fat free ricotta cheese (124g) 1/4 - 1/2 tsp stevia powder [...]

This cookie recipe is a variation of my Chocolate Oatmeal Walnut Cookies. They are made exactly the same with just a few tweaks to change up the flavor a bit. I also lowered the sugar to 1/2 cup to cut back on the calories a bit. It worked! They are perfectly sweetened and these guys [...]

I haven't been this excited about a recipe in a long time. I was a on mission to create a healthier cookie that ACTUALLY tasted good and I think I did it. I actually did it. To accomplish it I had to resort to using sugar and butter, two things I haven't used in a [...]

I don't know WHAT came over me last night. It was 10PM and I "wanted something". So I hit the kitchen with an empty stomach and some inspiration from these pumpkin cookies. I fear calling mine cookies as they really aren't. I don't like to sugarcoat what I make (literally and figuratively :~P) so I'll simply [...]

What’s a ca-ookie you ask? Well, it’s the result my baking adventure this morning. Let me start at the beginning. I love experimenting in the kitchen (umm yeah, hence the blog.) Anyway, I had some extra time on my hand this morning and decided to experiment with some light cookie ideas [...]

These little gems are an old favorite of mine. I’ve experimented with this recipe a bunch of times (you’ll notice the many ‘or’s below) and loved each one. They come out like pizza; even the bad batches are good. ;~) The coolest thing about this recipe is it’s appeal to [...]
