I made you some healthy lemon tarts. I love all things lemon. Who doesn’t? Lemons just seems to freshen every dish up. Sweet or savory. It doesn’t matter. So I created a healthier lemon tart for you.

These healthy vegan lemon tarts are perfect for Easter. If you like this recipe, you may also like my grain free blueberry tart. This lemon tart recipe is not only healthier, but it’s easy too!

This is also a recipe that fits almost every diet. It’s grain free, gluten free and vegan. These lemon tarts may look fancy, but they really only take a few minutes to make! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

Easy Roasted Asparagus

I am so happy Spring is here. I love all the spring fruits and veggies. I picked up some asparagus the other day and I knew I wanted to roast them. This Easy Roasted Asparagus is so easy and fool proof! I promise you will love it. This roasted asparagus recipe is very similar to my Easy Roasted Broccoli and my Honey Balsamic Brussel Sprouts.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like my asparagus to be completely soft. I like a little crunch still left to it. That is why I only roasted mine for 10 minutes. If you like a softer asparagus, feel free to keep it in the oven longer.

Vegan Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake

Ever since I made my mini vegan cheesecakes, I have been wanting to create more flavors. Since we are now in Spring, I knew the next vegan cheesecake I would try would be one with berries. And that is how this vegan raspberry chocolate cheesecake was born!

Since chocolate makes everything better, I decided to give this raspberry vegan cheesecake a chocolate topping. This vegan cheesecake is soy free and gluten free. So creamy and delicious, you could never tell that it was made without dairy!

Brussel Sprouts Salad with Cranberries and Almonds

The other day, we ate at Whole Foods. I love the selections in their salad bar. So many items are actually organic now. Anyway, I had this delicious Brussel sprouts salad.

So I took a picture of the ingredients and tried to re-create a similar dish at home. My Brussel sprout salad is slightly different. It is also very tasty!

Now that the weather is warming up, this Brussel sprouts salad would be perfect to take to a spring party. Or you could make it for Easter as well.

I have only recently become a fan of Brussel sprouts. If you are on the fence about them, I highly advise you to try my Maple Glazed Brussel Sprouts or my Honey Balsamic Brussel Sprouts.

These Strawberry Creme Truffles need to go on your must make list! Who is excited that Spring is finally here? I just love all berries and I am happy that I am starting to see them in the grocery store now. I picked up a carton of organic strawberries the other day and I came up with these delicious strawberry creme truffles.

They are amazing and the filling just melts in your mouth! You may also like my Pistachio Truffles or my Copycat Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. These dreamy, creamy truffles would also make a great Easter treat!

Truffles are very easy to make. These healthy truffles fit just about every diet. They are vegan, gluten free, grain free and paleo friendly.

These also freeze well, so you can keep yourself stocked up when a sweet craving hits. Or when you want the taste of berries in the middle of winter.

Maple Cinnamon Parsnip Chips. I love making homemade chips. These yummy homemade chips are my latest creation. The maple and cinnamon flavors go so well in this easy parsnip chip recipe.

If you don’t know what parsnips are, they are in the same family as carrots and have a mild, sweet flavor. These maple parsnip chips are so good!

My kids and I ate the whole tray! If you like this recipe, you may also enjoy my zucchini chips and my maple cinnamon roasted chickpeas.
