Are you looking for a cake that’s better for you and your guests but doesn’t skimp on flavor? If so, I’ve got just the cake for you! Here are all the details for this ~healthy-ish~ celebration cake to make for your next gathering🥳🥳 I love making food for others, especially when that food happens to taste indulgent but is also conscious of our wellbeing. It’s an extra touch of love! . I hope you savor this cake if you make it and please share a picture if you do try it! I love seeing your beautiful creations 🥰

What’s your first thought when you see a platter like this? 🥒🥕🥑Are you intimidated with the set-up, the variety, the prep, or simply wouldn’t know where to start?🤷‍♀️ . The past few months I’ve been working on a FREE eCookbook (!!) where you’ll get 7 unique charcuterie boards designed for dinner, and I will walk you through all my tips and tricks. And yes, we’re talking dinner, not just appetizers! 🙌🏻 I wanted an easy way to get a nourishing meal on the table, even after a long day. Especially one with lots of variety and easy substitutions. A meal that brings people around the table to nosh on good eats and simply enjoy the present. I don’t even think you could classify this as cooking, I prefer to call it fancy prep you can do in a pinch👌🏻 . As I’m putting the finishing touches on this eCookbook, here’s a little rough guideline on how to make this charcuterie board if you’re intrigued for what’s to come! This is the one that got it all started✊🏻 . How to: Roast up any vegetables you love/are seasonal, I used carrots and golden beets, then add onto the charcuterie board. Add in your favorite sliced meats and cheese, I used turkey and feta+parmesan. Add in raw vegetables, like celery sticks, radishes snap peas, basil, etc for a good crunch. For the dips, either use hummus (like I did), baba ghanoush, guacamole, etc. For the bean salad, drain and rinse 1 can of white cannellini beans, and mix together with ¼ of a diced red onion, handful of chopped parsley, juice of 1 lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Lastly, add hard boiled eggs throughout the board for more protein. Serve fresh and dig in! 🌿 . . . . . #charcuterie #charcuterieinspiration #charcuterieboard #charcuterieplatter #holidaypartyfood #holidayfood #holidayappetizers #seattlecooking #seattlefood #seattleblog #foodpreparation #appetizers #roastedcarrots #hummusplatter #hardboiledeggs #appetizersfordinner #dinnerideas #simpledinner #foodprep #healthyholiday #feelgoodfood #eatpretty #nourish #nourished #seattlewinter #seattlelife

The best part of being home is doing some morning baking, in no rush, just slowing whipping up something special with coffee in hand. Catch step-by-step instructions in my stories on how to make my Gingerbread Bundt Cake🍰 . Best served with tea or coffee and a friend, family member, significant other, coworker, or even a stranger.☕️

2020👋🏻Here’s what you can expect from me and @alittledough.eats ! Plot twist - it’s not just a gallery of food pictures.😉🌿 . I‘ll still be sharing food photos and easy eats, but my hope is that the types of recipes I share will inspire your own gatherings! Food is a powerful force to unit people, so what better way to get to know others better than a wholesome, fun, and unique meal to share? . We’re deep into the gloomy months of winter so I’m excited for the recipes/ideas I’ll be posting (i think you’ll love!) as they require minimal prep, are filled with wholesome ingredients, and are shareable. There‘s no better time to spend more minutes in real moments of time with others in this crazy, crazy, yet beautiful world. I can’t wait to share, starting this week! Happy Saturday, friends🤗

Although I love a good new beginning come January, I feel a *little* lethargic post indulging and I crave routine. The question is always - where to even start? . Everyone will be different, but one way I’m getting back into the routine is by making a real simple, nourishing baked good to enjoy for the week. I’m not about a rude awaking post holidays with a strict reset plan. Just always finding that sweet spot.🍯 . Having one nutrient dense baked good to enjoy for breakfast or afternoon snack is one way I find that sweet sweet spot! LINK IN BIO for this #grainfree Gingerbread Bundt Cake that is so dang delicious and easy to whip up! It’s also #refinedsugarfree if you’re laying low on the cane sugar these days.🍬

It’s been awfully quiet on here... because we got MARRIED!🥂🥳 But don’t fret, I made sure to eat my way through Salzburg (and my wedding day, lol) to get extra inspired to come home and make all the things for @alittledough.eats 😉. Although I don’t want our fairytale wedding to end quite yet, I’ll be excited to be back in my kitchen (and back with my kitten!😽) cooking up recipes to share with you on here. . And most importantly, I’m wishing you all a very very happy new year 🎊. May 2020 be filled with long chats around the table with friends and family while breaking bread and creating a life filled with love. Much much love to you all❤️🕊 . . . . . . #salzburgwedding #destinationwedding #destinationweddings #weddingdiet #justmarried #sacher #sacherhotel #winterweddings #winterdestination #brideandgroom #sacherhotel #salzburgaustria #eattolove #goodmoodfood #moodfood #weddingday #neweats #breakbread #foodstagram #foodielife #seattlefoodblog #seattleblog #truelove

Make weekend mornings extra special by turning profiteroles into a lighter yet indulgent breakfast treat! 🙌🏻 With the help of Alove aloe vera yogurt, breakfast-friendly ingredients are used while keeping the same concept of this classic French dessert. I used strawberry @aloveyogurt in these profiteroles because of its silky, smooth creaminess👌🏻🍓🍫Snag the recipe with the link in bio! . . . . . #aloeverayogurt #aloeyogurt #aloe #aloevera #yogurt #alove #aloveyogurt #alove_partner #oatflour #profiteroles #breakfastideas #breakfastrecipes #creampuffs #weekendeats #homemade #weekendbaking #breakfastyogurt #strawberry #chocolate #breakfastinspiration #brunchideas #frenchbaking #frenchpastry

Healthier Snickers Bar! 🍫A sweet treat to make this dreary Seattle day more enticing☔️ The 3-ingredient Salted Date Caramel recipe on my blog makes this candy bar feel so indulgent. This candy bar is also dairy free and refined sugar free but most importantly, it makes 99% of days better👏🏻 . How to make: Prep the Salted Date Caramel (Link in bio) then assemble. No exact measurements for the assembly - just have fun with it and use your inner cook!🥳 . Melt your favorite chocolate chips or plain chocolate bar(s) in the microwave or stovetop until it’s soft and melted. Pour the chocolate into a rectangular sized container that is lined with parchment paper - choose a container size so that the chocolate is able to coat the bottom. Totally up to you how much you want to make! This will be the bottom layer. Then add a layer of your favorite peanut butter (I used crunchy) or other nut butter. Next, top with a layer of my Salted Date Caramel, and lastly, top with peanuts or other preferred nut. Then freeze for at least 1-2 hours, slice, and indulge! Hiding leftovers is encouraged. Happy Saturday✌🏻🍫

D e c e m b e r, I’ve waited for you all year!🌲Especially this year. It’s my favorite time of the year and this time around it feels extra special with our wedding coming up this month.🌟 . Why is it that the anticipation can feel endless but our actual day will likely pass in the blink of an eye? It’s something I’ve thought about a lot as we’ve been planning one day for more than a year.🌟 . I’ve come to realize a different sense of appreciation than this one day I’m anticipating like crazy. It’s the anticipation of the LITTLE joys of every day that make life so full.🌟 . For me, those little joys are waking up to a phenomenal cup of coffee with my soon-to-be husband, going on a long walk when it’s sunny out, finding a book that speaks to me, chatting with a friend, cooking and sharing a nourishing meal with loved ones... the list of little but sweet moments goes on. 🌟 . As you anticipate your next big high in life, what are the little joys of your life you can anticipate today?🌟
