herbed spelt pizza crust (vegan, whole grain)
Pizza night around our home is a weekly event. Usually I plan it for Friday nights, but have been known to mix things up occasionally. For awhile, this recipe was my go to for the crust (clearly I’ve been working on my food photography) since I wanted to cut the carbs and boost the nutrition, but truth be told, it takes a little more work than the traditional dough. I still love it, but with everything I have going on…keeping up with this food blog, starting a new business and life…I needed an “in a pinch” pizza crust solution that was easier to whip up, but still packed a solid…
vegan nut Parmesan (vegan, dairy free, gluten free)
(this post contains affiliate links which help fund this blog but at no cost to you) I think one of the hardest things about going “all in” with a plant-based diet is giving up the dairy…especially cheese.

But I’m here for you, chocolate, and created this Valentine’s Day recipe round up which gives you the starring role supported by a cast of ingredients…
mocha hazelnut torte (vegan, added sugar free, no bake, gluten free, paleo)
I can’t decide which I like better: chocolate + coffee or chocolate + hazelnuts. Hmmmm…. If you had to pick one, what would you choose? (Tell me in the comments.) Fortunately, we don’t have to choose one over the other because I’ve brought both together is this mocha hazelnut torte! It’s a dessert that looks decadent, but contains only whole food, added sugar free ingredients, so it’s a recipe that loves your body back. Ever since I detoxed from sugar a few years ago, I’ve been on a mission to have my cake and eat it too…just without the added sugars which keep you hooked on the very thing that…
