I was talking to my girlfriends last night at Supper Club about the process of planning for and preparing a decent dinner meal.

Ever had an “adult” cupcake? One that’s a bit healthier, with more complex flavor, and a little less sweet? I created one for this month’s Recipe Redux cupcake challenge. These peanut butter coconut peppermint cupcakes with dark chocolate frosting are luscious little treats, made entirely without flour or dairy.  Yup, they’re totally raw.

This month’s redux challenge is Oscars in the Kitchen. We were tasked to create a healthy dish inspired by our favorite food scene or featured dish from any movie.  Well, the first (and only, really) movie that popped into my head was a film I saw way back in 1996.

Ever made muesli?  I know, it’s not a word that inspires good eats, but if you try it, you will love it.  Not only is it a great way to have oatmeal and cereal at the same time, it’s also a fun way to personalize your breakfast because you can pretty much add in anything [...]
