Chocolate almond butter cups (vegan and sugar-free)

This morning I just needed a special treat alongside my double espresso.  I needed some chocolate.  I'm sugar, so even dairy-free chocolate is a no go for me.  So I made a quick easy version of this recipe I found online: http://www.sunwarrior.com/news/vegan-chocolate-peanut-butter-cups-naturally/

Grain-free homemade chicken fingers

There's something about chicken fingers that is still so appealing, even if I'm not a kid anymore.  I miss the convenience of being able to pour them out of a box and cook them, but store box chicken fingers don't appeal to me or work for me for many reasons.  It's really not that hard to make your own and they are so much better that way.  I am not eating most grains at the moment, but it was so easy to sub in coconut flour and almond flour to make my own version of homemade chicken fingers, and they were delicious!!

Quinoa Spinach Frittata

I made this breakfast frittata by adapting a sweetened recipe I came across online.  It's a great way to use up leftover quinoa, as I usually cook it up in large amounts so I have some on hand for different creations in the kitchen.

Sugar-free/gluten-free pumpkin spice cookies

I made these cookies this morning, as I was in the mood for something pumpkin spiced, and a 'cookie' seemed like a good way to do it.  I'm off all sugar at the moment, among many other things, so making tasty treats is a challenge!  I really enjoyed these cookies, so I thought I would share.
