Sweet Secrets to Lighter Baking
ahh! hi! Sorry, I feel like I've been seriously cheating on you all lately. I've been cooking, baking, and cooking obnoxiously more (as usual) but instead of sharing it with you all I have been EATING it all! Oops. Life's been crazy busy lately so I've had absolutely no time to to take pretty pics and write about it. Only enough time to shove it in my own mouth. Things are going to start settling down though next week so get ready for some full force Whipped recipes! I've been … [Read more...]
So I have a confession; I am not Irish. Not even close to being Irish. The closest I get is that I like beer and boys with Irish accents. Soooo basically I'm American. And 25 years old.

I knew I wanted something simple and easy - because when you're baking cookies for your … [Read more...]
The secret Martha Stewart in me gets so excited for holidays! I love any and every excuse to go a little OCD domestic on some cupcakes.

Needless to say I couldn't help myself for Valentine's Day...! And I so wish that I could take credit for the adorable design, but I found … [Read more...]

I have been on a mission for the past year to find the absolute best Gluten Free and Dairy Free Cookie recipe! Not even for the blog, but just because I have been dying for a delicious cookie that I can eat … [Read more...]

Are you all ready for my big news?? Whipped has seen some fun changes over the past couple months but this has to be my very favorite! Over the past couple months I've been having so much fun expanding my blog beyond just healthy baking and into all kinds of cooking. It feels good to eat good, and it feels even better to share my healthier recipes with all of you! That's why the new change is taking my healthy cooking one (delicious!) step further. We all know the … [Read more...]
So I'm really excited about today's post, but I"m even more excited about Monday's! I have a big surprise for you all about some super fun changes I"m making to my blog.

The party's theme is inspired by this month's Earth Day, so everything I will be cooking and using will all be eco-friendly, local, … [Read more...]
