Usually mug cakes need quite a bit of oil or butter to turn out moist - This HEALTHY CHOCOLATE MUG CAKE with PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING doesn't need any AND is low in carbs, since you only use coconut flour! The whole cake (4 inches diameter) has only 263 calories, so you can dig into this big piece of deliciousness without feeling guilty

I love pot roasts of all kinds. Not only do they taste amazing right after you cooked them, but we always have lots of leftovers and put them on bread or into other dishes the next couple days and it still tastes so great!
One time cooking, several days eating, how could I not like that?!
This Red Wine Pork Roast develops such great and intense flavors over the 8 hour cooking time with only a few ingredients. Actually, I think it couldn't be easier to bring a fancy dish on the table!

Spring is definitely here now, so I definitely feel like going away from all those heavy dishes and treats. This time of the year I am rather picking some healthier and lighter recipes that tastes decadent and help you getting your bikini shape on :) Here are 4 of my recent favorites:

1. Almond Crusted Veggie Quiche
"Super healthy and full of nutrition!
The sweet touch from the crust makes this dish come alive."

2. Coconut Overload Lara Bites
"Full of good nutrition - with unsweetened shredded coconut, nuts and dates you simply can't go wrong"

3. Raw Apple Pie
"This Raw Apple Pie is proof of being able to live a healthy lifestyle without all-purpose flour and sugar, but still enjoy sweet treats, like everyone else does"

4. Tuna Strawberry Salad
"Filled with good nutrition and so easy to make this is definitely the right things to get you into Spring mode and shape :)
On colder days I simply throw the whole thing into a pan for 5 minutes."

Welcome to the fifth Surprise Recipe Swap in 2013 - Each month me and some fellow bloggers get assigned to another blogger and have to pick and cook a recipe from our partners blog!
This month I was assigned to Heather from My Sweet Mission -  a blog that was totally new to me, so I was super excited to look through it!
I started going through her sweet recipes and she instantly made me drool! Also all her savory dishes would be welcome at my house any time :)
I was torn between her Turtle Walnut Chocolate Swirl Bars and the Luscious Coconut Lemon Bars, but decided to go with number 2, since I have a slight coconut addiction at the moment!

I am now a permanent follower of Heather, because I really don't want to miss out on her newest deliciousness!
Btw. the bars were gone within 2 hours, I'm not kidding!
But let's look at the recipe, then I will let you know more about my experience with her recipe and changes I made and of course the taste!

The Recipe and Taste: First of all I want to mention that the recipe you see above is slightly changed up from the original. I only made half the crust and left half the sugar out of the filling. And since I don't have sweetened coconut at home I added some powdered sugar on top of my unsweetened coconut :)
In the past I had failed a couple times when it comes to making lemon bars (I have no idea why), so I was kind of scared this time. Let me tell you, the recipe rocks! Absolutely perfect measurements, and a wonderful flavor mix between sour, sweet and slightly salty! Same goes for the texture: Crunchy bottom, super smooth inside and a little chewiness on top!

Thank you Heather for this wonderful recipe, that finally helped me to make good lemon bars and in addition to that supports my coconut addiction :)
I am looking forward to more recipes from you (and already picked one of your savory dishes to make this week)!

Now I am hoping for June's Surprise Recipe Swap to be such a great success, I'm already so excited!

By now I am sure you know of my addiction to cheesecakes! I love the smooth texture and the endless possibilities to make them special! I never bake the exact same cheesecake a second time, because I always have new ideas to fancy it up :)
This time I went for coconut milk in the batter, what makes the cheesecake so creamy and fluffy - unbelievable!
I also picked lemon juice instead of vanilla extract for the filling, because I thought it would be a great contrast to the earthiness of the nuts and coconut - and how right I was. Crunchy, nutty crust, super smooth filling - simply another wonderful cheesecake :)

Popping your own popcorn is the healthy alternative to microwaveable bags of popcorn.
These bags contain tons of salt, preservatives and other scary ingredients. They are also high in fat and unhealthy. Popping corn allows you to pop your own popcorn at home without any of the gross ingredients you find in microwaveable bags.
