Happy New Year’s Eve!!! Can you believe it’s NYE already? Life: you could blink and just miss it!

While I’m still surprised at how fast everything’s gone, I’m truly looking forward to the new year and everything that’s to come. What are you looking forward to for the new year? Will you be making a list of resolutions?

Or are you more concerned with what to wear tonight for NYE celebrations? 🙂 Tell me all! 😉 You know I have to live vicariously through you as it’s been AGES since Erik and I’ve actually partied it up on New Year’s Eve. Hehe!

Whatever you’re up to today, we both wish you a happy, safe, and love-filled day! Here’s to the NEW YEAR!!!!

We can’t wait!!!

My Favorite Recipes of 2018

Best Moist Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe – I promise you, this is the moistest (wow, that’s actually a word!! Who knew?!) and most satisfying banana bread you’ve ever had… but in actuality, this post, and the feelings I got to share meant a lot to me—to share and to connect with you.

Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies (V, GF) – One of my Beaming Baker anniversary recipe posts. 🙂 I’m always getting emails, comments on IG, and messages on Facebook about this recipe. There’s something about it that folks love — and something special about it. It also just barely made it into the Top 25 recipes of the year, narrowly missing the Top 10-20 Recipes of 2018. ❤️

4 Ingredient Paleo Coconut Macaroons Recipe – this recipe remains one of my all-time, all-time favorites for so many reasons. The taste is spectacular—so sweet, coconut-ty and just blissful. HOWEVER, when I started along the path of making coconut macaroons, I had no idea what to do. How do I replace the classic ingredients in macaroons? Like, the condensed milk, egg whites, etc? I had to throw the rule book out for this one and just go with my gut. And it was… splendid. This is one of the recipes I’m proudest of to date. 😉 Oh, and let’s not forget about the amazing Lemon Coconut Macaroons! .And… the Ultimate Chewy Paleo Coconut Cookies that these spawned. 🙂

Chewy Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies & Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Chewy Oatmeal Cookies – With these two chewy oatmeal cookie recipes, I was finally able to crack a way to add that much sought-after chewiness without adding more junk, but in fact, adding a secret healthy ingredient. In one word, they’re: INCREDIBLE.

Healthy Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins Recipe – even though chocolate is and will always be my go-to flavor, this recipe truly stood out to me as one of the yummiest. The notes of lemon are just spectacular and incredibly satisfying. YUM!! Readers were even more excited about the seasonal orange take on this recipe: Healthy Gluten Free Orange Cardamom Muffins. 🙂

  1. I actually prepared the following last year using your instructions: chunky paleo granola with clusters, paleo coconut macaroons, easy gluten free vegan pumpkin coffee cake, and banana peanut butter swirl ice cream.

  2. It’ll be fun reliving the year by going back through these and making them again. My favorite is definitely the fudge. So quick and easy!

    1. Happy new year, Vicci!! Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave such a kind comment. I hope you love everything that’s to come in 2019! Big hugs!

  3. Demeter, you have too many wonderful recipes…said no one ever LOL. Seriously, you overwhelm me with beautiful choices for healthy, stunning, yet simple recipes. Thanks for ALL of them! Cheers to a great year!

    1. Hehe!!! Your comment totally gave me a big chuckle, Traci! It is absolutely my pleasure. 🙂 Cheers to a wonderful new year to you!!

  4. I can see why these would make your top 10 — I kept thinking, “yes, that’s my favorite,” until I scrolled farther and the next was my fave! But those peanut butter rice krispie squares — seriously….
