As someone who loves to prove that healthy food doesn’t have to be boring (or expensive), I’m all about making nutritious treats. Let’s just say my sweet tooth is definitely alive and well. Thankfully, it only acts up every now and then, but when it does, the craving is real. But that’s where healthy desserts …

Wine Gummy Bears (Merlot & White Zinfandel)
Few things make my heart skip a beat like booze-infused treats. I mean, I don’t even drink much, but there’s something so intriguing about using alcohol to make something ordinary, like pie or ice cream. (Wine ice cream, anyone) It’s one of those ingredients that can steal the show on its own. As for gummy bears, one …
How To Make Chocolate Quinoa For Breakfast (Or Lunch/Dinner/Snack)
When it comes to superfoods, quinoa is the real deal. It’s basically the only plant food that doubles as a complete protein, thanks to all the essential amino acids that it offers. Quinoa is also jam-packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it’s super versatile to boot. (Is my nutrition nerdiness showing yet?) And while it’s often …
Recipe: Pomegranate Chai Ginger Fizz
During the holiday season, my obsession with delicious beverages multiplies by a thousand or so. I mean, there’s just something so refreshing about enjoying seasonal ingredients in a glass. It also probably stems from my addiction to coffee and tea, but that’s another story. And while nothing beats a simple hot chocolate or green tea, …
How To Make Pumpkin Graham Cracker Truffles
In honor of (what feels like) autumn coming to an end, this week’s recipe revolves around pumpkin. Surprise, right? For me, Thanksgiving seems like the unofficial end of fall, making way for notes of peppermint and gingerbread. And while I love both, there’s something so comforting about pumpkin recipes. So when this easy truffle idea …
Recipe: Coconut Turmeric Chickpeas With Black Rice
I’m mildly extremely obsessed with chickpeas. Between the high protein content and versatility, how can you not love them? Lately, I’ve been making a lot of patty recipes like these chickpea turmeric burgers for Bustle. For an even quicker dish, I’ll toss with them oil and spices and roast them for a crunchy, savory snack. And of …
eHow: Everything Bagel Strata Recipe
Some people take brunch seriously. Like, real seriously. And I don’t blame them, because there are few things better than breakfast foods. Not only is it the most important meal of the day (it reduces afternoon hunger and is associated with lower blood glucose and cholesterol… all that good ol’ nutritiony stuff) but it’s just so satisfying after …
How To Make Fizzy Ginger Apple Whiskey
Autumn might be all about pumpkin-flavored everything, but we can’t forget about all the other fall drink flavors. And after a few weeks of sharing pumpkin crafts and recipes, I decided it was time to share something a little different. This boozy beverage brings together fizzy ginger beer by Bundaberg, local apple cider, and whiskey. …
Autumn Chai Smoothie Bowl Recipe
During the fall, Wild Amor tends to turn into a food blog, and I’m all about it. There’s something so comforting about the spicy-sweet notes of autumn. Chai is a personal favorite of mine, so I knew I had to make a chai smoothie concoction. (Actually, this past weekend I had chai apple cider at …
Pumpkin Couscous Cake Recipe
Another pumpkin project? You bet. Autumn officially began a few days ago, and I’m already diving head first into the seasonal recipes and tutorials. Plus, I’ve been obsessing over new veggie burger recipes lately. Just last week I made cauliflower, chickpea, and red pepper burgers on a whim, because those were the exact ingredients left in …
Halloween Shots: Apple Pie & Spiced Orange (Plus DIY Silver Sugar)
September is here, which means Halloween is next month, which means I’m already knee deep in autumn DIY projects. And in the effort to share more recipes, this week’s post features not one, but two scarily tasty Halloween shots. (I’m already party planning in my brain, apparently.) Both “recipes” are super simple and really, really, delicious. I mean, …
