I make banana bread or muffins about once a week. The ingredients are fairly cheap and some variation on this recipe usually makes the cut because it’s high on protein and low on sugar. Its sweetened only with bananas, the flour is almonds, and there’s a fair amount of eggs. The more ripe the bananas,…

Turmeric Pecan Banana Bread
I hate making returns. There’s almost always some sort of “complication” that makes returning items an absolute nightmare. My solution? Never buy anything ever again. At least that’s the mindset I’m having today. Some of my favorite memories from working at a grocery store where when customers would try to return items. First of all,…
Pumpkin Fig Oats
Last year, I did a whole30 over the month of October and I’m planning on doing the same this year. October is a great time for a little nutritional reset in my opinion. No big holidays like birthdays or anniversaries to tax my willpower, it’s just a regular ol’ month for me and a great…
Chocolate Fig Frosty
I love how the seasons change in Southern California. It’s gradual but unmistakable when the scent of autumn hits the air regardless of the reading on the thermometer (hint: It ain’t chilly). Changes like the oranges, reds, and yellows of seasonal produce hitting the market, tourists leaving our vacation destination town, and holiday advertisements infiltrating…
Date-Sweetened Macaroons
As far as I can tell, most macaroon recipes call for honey as the sweetener. Confession time: Sometimes I just don’t like honey. It has a very distinct flavor which is great is some things, but in others the flavor takes over. In an attempt to quell my macaroon craving and also avoid the honey…
Pumpkin Cranberry Bread with Orange Glaze
Here’s a fun, festive treat for the weekend. I know it’s not particularly “cool” out here in California, but that shouldn’t stop anyone from enjoying as many pumpkin-related treats as possible this season 🙂 Here are some past Clean Plate Pumpkin favorites! Cinnamon Pumpkin Chipotle Soup Pumpkin Butter Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins Pumpkin Pie Smoothie…
Sugarless Banana Bread
I’ve been on a bit of a banana kick lately. Partly because I love baking things that are sugar-free (this includes natural forms of sugar like maple syrup, coconut sugar, honey, etc.) and sweet tasting. I also love them because when it comes to sugar, my body prefers starch. I’m not super great at processing more…
Raw Cookie Dough Balls
My new favorite thing! A sugar-free (minus the chocolate chips), grain-free, raw cookie dough?! This makes a single serving of about 200 calories (125 without chocolate chips). This can be altered to any kind of flavor you desire. Lots of cinnamon for a snickerdoodle, some walnuts for a banana bread batter, come cacao powder for…
Sugar-Free Agua Fresca
Two exciting things! 1. I bought a new awesome shirt from Steve’s Original. 2. I’ve launched my new cooking classes in South Orange County! So keep checking the Services page for the classes. They are super affordable and a lot of fun! One of my favorite things in San Clemente is our neighborhood Mexican market….
Paleo BBQ sauce
It’s Summer! Which means BBQ’s every weekend. And what do you usually have at a BBQ? BBQ sauce! Usually, this little condiment is loaded with all sorts of processed weirdness (unless your host just happened to have a super secret, centuries old, homemade from scratch-recipe; not likely). Even most BBQ sauce recipes have ingredients like Worcestershire sauce…
