March 2, 2014 by Cara

Homemade Animal Crackers

Homemade Animal Crackers (gluten, egg, and dairy-free) - Fork & Beans

So I have been reminiscing through some old recipes and became all nostalgic when I came across my Copycat Treats recipe section which inevitably began the thought process of all the recipes that I still had on my list of things to recreate and just never got around to it. Until today, that is. Homemade Animal Crackers,…

Homemade Chocolate Teddy Grahams

Healthy Chocolate Teddy Grahams - Fork & Beans

  I’m always an advocate for balance. I have been through the wringer with a variety of diets (you can read about my weight loss story here) but the only thing that has actually kept my mind in a good place with food but has kept the weight off was removing this pendulum shift of going to extremes in…

Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches

January 16, 2014 by Cara

White bean cookies and banana ice cream create these ultra tasty and easy-to-assemble Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches.

It’s beginning to look a lot like SUMMER, despite it being only January (that is what you get when you live in Southern California). So to celebrate, I’m making everyone these gluten, egg, dairy, flour, and refined sugar-free (and everything else!) frozen treats. I shall call them Healthy Ice Cream Sandwiches!

Remember those Peanut Butter Chocolate Kisses Cookies you once loved making as a kid? You know, the ones that you ate more of the Kisses than actually put on the cookies itself?  And remember these homemade White Chocolate Peppermint Kisses (click on the underlined words for the link) that I made a couple of weeks…
