Jalapeño Garlic Hummus

This happened today: Jalapeño Garlic Hummus. We worked out hard and I knew just the trick to refuel our bodies. White beans, freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic, spicy jalapeño slices were just the ticket. Imagine this dip with pita bread, vegetable sticks, veggie chips, paired with a Greek salad...how will or would you eat it? I used to buy a tub of hummus from the health food store and would be shocked at how we'd eat it all in one sitting, this batch was no different, it's all gone! This could easily serve 4 as a snack, we just couldn't stop! Enjoy. Love, Christa Chocolate Raspberry Bars

As you bite into layers or chocolate with a creamy raspberry center and a sweet almond date crust instant happiness is found. With absolutely no sugar used you can feel good about having this dessert. This dessert was inspired by the sweet and beautiful coconut raspberry hearts taken up a notch with a yummy crust and chocolate topping. This would be a fun dessert to make and enjoy over the weekend and is even okay to enjoy on a cleanse, at least it is in my book. Have a great weekend!

Having a healthy dessert around can make such a huge and happy difference in ones life. Creamy coconut, raspberries, a pinch of salt and hint of vanilla come together harmoniously. When poured in a heart mold they create pretty pink hearts that are so desirable it is hard not to pop one in your mouth! Gluten-free, grain-free, oil-free, dairy-free with no baking required and a sugar-free option these little hearts have my #! Makes 14 Hearts - 44 Calories per Heart Ingredients:

Cozy socks, warm clothes, snuggles, hugs, family, loved ones, cheerful people, a giving spirit, these are a few things I love this time of year. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, are enjoying your holidays and were able to spend time or catch up with family and loved ones. We caught up with our families and it was such a nice heart warming treat. We enjoyed a relaxed day with lots of good food. A homemade baguette, a hearty lentil loaf infused with gravy vegetables with a crust made of rice.... ...scalloped potatoes with a vegan cheesy topping and a Inca quinoa salad. I surprised my husband with our vegan feast. It was so much fun to have a variety of delicious plant-based foods gracing our plates and a home filled with love. It's hard to believe this year is already coming to a swift end, the countdown is on and 2016 is inching closer and closer. The world in many places is in turmoil yet has pockets of peace. May the peace and love arise as we go into this next year, unknowing what will come. I do know one thing, sharing home-cooking with your loved ones is a simple way to show your love and bring people together happily no matter what's going on. It's kind of magical that way.
Holiday Dinner
Notes:
These potatoes are so hard to resist you may find yourself asking for another spoonful. Creamy, "cheesy" and so wonderful they nearly melt in your mouth. Scalloped Potatoes

Happy Holidays with love from my heart and kitchen to yours! Christa Adapted from the great recipe at Canadian Living. Infuse your holiday season with warm banana gingerbread muffins straight from the oven. These moist little muffins are packed with health and are absolutely sensational! With no gluten, dairy, oil or even sugar you can "have your cake and eat it too!" These were created specifically for all of you this holiday season with an extra dose of love. I find it so appealing to have healthy treats around the house this time of year. Plus, sharing with others is really wonderful, I love hearing about how much they love them! These would be great to bring into the office as a surprise, for a holiday party or for your loved ones as a nice treat to enjoy through out the day. Our favorite is with a cup of coffee. My husband definitely approves of this recipe saying "mix 'em, bake 'em, sell 'em, ship 'em." These muffins are:

I hope you love this recipe! With love, Christa This recipe was created after not going to the grocery store for 2 weeks! I was down to my very last jalapeños, tomatoes and lime with nothing else but dry goods to choose from. What would I make? I find in those moments where I feel like I don't have much to work with comes the most divine creations. Inspiration at its finest. I love those moments in life when you think you have nothing and are reminded of how rich you truly are, rich with love, inspiration, happiness and joy. I was flipping through my new cookbook, which I really love cooking from, each recipe is fantastic and makes me feel good about what could be on your dinner table. I took a couple different recipes and created a new one. Jalapeño Cheese Hot Pockets! A gluten-free, oil-free dough is rolled into 8 balls, pressed, stuffed, baked and topped for an "mmmm" yummy meal! We love it spicy so I used a whole jalapeño in the cheese but feel free to skip it or use less to suit your needs. These are so satisfying, easy to pick up and eat, I love finger foods! My husband loves them "delicious honey"... "MMMM!" on first bite, "these are so good" etc. saying it makes a wonderful lunch! When I was growing up I loved a hot pocket! My best friend and I would grab one from the freezer, plop it in the microwave and eat it promptly after school. Now we can have our very own hot pockets in a way that makes our bodies smile! These are sooo good that we ate them ALL the first time. The second time we were able to save 3 for later. >:) I hope you love this fabulous creation from my heart and kitchen to yours! ~ Christa For the Pockets:
Here is a picture of the process from mixing the wet to dry, kneading the dough, rolling into 8 balls, pressing in my hands, flattening out in the tortilla press, stuffing with cheese, folding over and finally pressing shut. From there they are transferred to a greased baking sheet. So simple yet so inviting! After they have baked for 25 minutes they'll come out with golden edges, nice and crisp all around! Top with the remaining cheese, tomatoes and jalapeños. Bake for 5 additional minutes and they'll come out warm and golden, ready to consume!
Have you ever had that chocolate craving sneak up on you, yet you don't have anything prepared and are not really in the mood to bake or make something glorious? If you do, this recipe may be just for you. It was created in such a moment of intense desire for chocolate with no desire for baking. A raw, no-bake, healthy dessert was ours in no time. Blend, Pulse, Scrape, Roll, Freeze and in 30 minutes eat. Okay, sold! Plus the flavors of nut butter, dates, agave, cacao and a dash of salt had my craving scratched especially with the fun outer coating with hints of cacao nibs. This is a great recipe for any time of the year during any time of the day. Total Time: 45 Minutes | Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Freeze Time: 30 Minutes +
