Levain bakery style cookies from Olives n Thyme Tahini has definitely been an acquired taste for me, and even though I do like it now, I’ve not always succeeded in using it in sweets recipes. One of these successful recipes were incredible S’mores tahini cookie bars (also from Olives n Thyme), so I knew I…

Chocolate Avocado Pudding Shots
I often find myself either having a ton of ripe avocado at home (and not knowing what to do with it) or not having any avocado, and recently I found myself with a surplus of ripe avocado. I was thinking about something creative I could do with the ripe avocado that was a dessert (I…
Apple Roses
The perfect dessert for Rosh Hashana (or any other time you feel like an apple pastry)! Looks super fancy and isn’t a lot of work, but most importantly, it tastes delicious! My dad thinks it’s much better than many of the pastries he’s had at bakeries, which also means it doesn’t last long in my…
Peanut butter fudge pretzel bars
Saw this recipe on @somethingnutritious instagram and knew I had to try it since I love her recipes and peanut butter and chocolate is my favorite dessert combo! I don’t often have pretzel in my dessert either, so I was excited to try her recipe. I loved how these fudge bars turned out (minus the…
Vegan PB cups
I’m not huge on candy, and my favorite American candy by far is Reese’s. Nothing better than peanut butter and chocolate combo! These treats from @holyhealth (on instagram) are not only a healthier, less processed version of a Reese’s peanut butter cup, but are also tastier (in my opinion). Here’s her recipe (my edits/comments are…

Chia pudding has many nutritional benefits, and I love a good chia pudding recipe! Loved this one because it gets a pinkish color and natural sweetness from the strawberries. Recipe inspired by Boho Beautiful Life Strawberry Chia Pudding Makes 1-2 servings Ingredients: 1 cup coconut milk 1/4 cup chia seeds 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1/2…
Paleo Macaroons
Got this delicious recipe from a vegan friend. I was skeptical, since these macaroons are paleo, gluten-free and vegan, and I’ve definitely gotten some bad recipes for “healthy” desserts, so my parents generally ask me not to make desserts healthy. However, decided to take a risk with this recipe, as this vegan friend cooks a…
matzah crunch
My favorite part of Passover is the delicious Passover desserts! One of our close family friends used to always make Matzah crunch for us growing up, so I never had to made my own. Now that we have moved, I finally decided to learn to make my own! I used this recipe from Israel 21C….
