It’s no secret that I maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce my desserts eating on a daily basis. In the past 3 years I\u2019ve made a huge change in my lifestyle and personal diet, mainly because I wanted to improve the way I feel about my body and be physically fitter and stronger than I used to be.<\/p>\n

Despite the last paragraph, it did not change my attitude toward desserts – I still very much like to make them at home way more than I like to eat sweets. It\u2019s always been this way for me. My pleasure in desserts comes from the creative place of making them; The thought of the combinations of flavors, colors and textures excites me every time I bake, and I enjoy seeing people eat and love what I made. As far as I’m concerned, a compliment on a dessert I made is worth much more than tasting another bite of chocolate cake.<\/p>\n

Still, I don\u2019t really believe in making “diet” desserts with artificial substitutes, and I prefer eating the real stuff only in moderation. As long as most of the time I make sure to eat healthy, one meal that is “healthy for the soul” certainly will not ruin anything. That’s how I find myself enjoying desserts from time to time, pizza, hamburgers, ice cream and other yummy fun foods.<\/p>\n

Why am I telling you all of this? I wrote about it a long time ago in a personal post I published on my Facebook profile<\/a> (Hebrew, sorry), and I feel that I just have to share it more freely over the blog too. It is important for me to share with you my personal life and the changes I came through, because it is one of the most significant processes I\u2019ve undergone in my life, and it also has a great influence on how I relate to food and nutrition these days.<\/p>\n

I want to continue to share with you my process, so I am excited to present a new category on a blog of slightly healthier desserts. Of course, regular dessert recipes will continue to be published here as often, but occasionally there will be a whiff of protein bars, whole 30 recipes and desserts that are little healthier and fit into my lifestyle.<\/p>\n

The opening shot is this next recipe \u2013 gluten free chocolate chip cookies, that are nondairy and Paleo friendly. They are also perfect for upcoming Passover as they contain no wheat flour. These gluten free chocolate chip cookies are golden brown, so fragrant and rich, and simply delicious. It\u2019s made with coconut flour and coconut sugar that is considered healthier and not processed like white sugar. These cookies are truly excellent!<\/p>\n
