Coconut Custard Pie

Its November! You know what that means... Its pie time!! I am counting down the days till Thanksgiving. Its one of my favorite holidays. Good food, good company, and amazing pies. Last year I decided to make oreo dirt pudding pie. It was sinful and so good. I made two pies, and there were no left overs the next day, I guess that's a good sign right? This year I am planning to go a light on pies. I will be making coconut custard pie and the lighter version of oreo pudding pie, and may be another pie. :) I will keep you updated.

It’s almost Halloween..Spooky.  Whets even spookier is the amount of processed and sugary food the kids eat during this time of year. I love candy (in moderation), don't take me wrong, but the amounts of candy kids eat on Halloween and after is so much. I wish people gave out healthy snacks like apple, apple sauce, and less modified food. Even organic or no GMO candies will be better than the popular kinds.

So celebrating a spooky holiday, I decided to make my Spooky chocolate protein cupcakes. They don't have sugar, or fat. The whey protein shake can be removed if you don't feel comfortable giving it to your kids. 


1 Cup of organic whole wheat flour (or GF flour) 
2 egg whites
3 scoops of whey chocolate protein
2 TBSP unsweetened apple sauce
2 TBSP soy milk (or any kind of milk) you can increase this amount if the batter is not wet enough
1 TSP vanilla

Preheat your oven to 300F. Line your cupcake pan with Halloween liners or any design you like! Mix dry ingredients together then add the wet ingredients. Stir well, and bake for 20 min or more depending on your oven
Have a spoooooky Halloween

Happy Fall

Happy fall everyone :). Its absolutely my favorite season. Enjoy it, eat lots of pies, drink pumpkin spiced lattes and chai, take a long hike/walk and enjoy what natures has to offer!

I have to admit, Trader Joe's made me very happy when I saw they have a full shelve with new products that goes perfectly for the fall season.
I was thrilled to see pumpkin spice chai! and pumpkin rooibos herbal tea! I love you Trader Joe's, and love all your weird and unexpected items :) 
I hope everyone have a great and a wonderful fall. xo Rosene

Mini Blueberry Pie

Tomorrow is the official day of fall. Who is ready for some pies?? I AM!
I love fall so much. It is my favorite season. beautiful colorful trees, pumpkin spice latte, hot apple cider, and pie! I have come up with a less-guilt sugar free, fat free, dairy free pie. I hope you make it an enjoy it. Its supper easy, fast, plus its very cute. :) 

Mini blueberry pie (Supper healthy)

1 ½ cup oats
1 ½ ripe bananas
3 tbsp water
½ tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
2 tbsp shredded coconuts
1 tbsp corn starch
1 cup frozen blue berries (or any berries you like)

In a bowl, mash the banana very well and add the oats, vanilla, water and shredded coconut. Mix till everything is combined. Using a cup cake pan, divide mixture evenly pressing mixture into bottom and up sides of cupcake cups to form the crust. If the mixture is too sticky, moisten your fingers slightly with water to make forming them easier. Bake on 350 for 10-15 minutes. 

In a sauce pan add the blueberries with 2 tbsp water. In a separate bowl add the corn starch with 1 tbsp water and stir very well, and then add to the sauce pan. On a low heat cook the blueberries till it thickens. Add the mixtures to the baked oat crust and let it cool completely before eating. 
I don't think you need to add sugar because the bananas are sweet, so they balance the sourness of the blueberries. 

Yields 11 pies 120 calorie each. Enjoy it -Rosene :)
