This must be the month that I am totally into sweets but, well, these cupcakes are healthy and sweetened with agave nectar! Come to my“Healthy Treats” Class on June 2nd and learn all about how to make these delicious cupcakes and other sugar-free vegan treats!
A few months ago, we served these to over 300 children (and adults) at the Green School Alliance Fair and at another private school in Manhattan and they were gobbled up! I promise you that treats do not have to be laden with sugar for kids to love them! These are so easy to make and absolutely delicious!

and need to simplify. If you have a pantry with nothing in it but white pasta, canned soup, and snacks high in sugar and salt, perhaps you are not taking care of yourself!
As a runner, I am always looking for ways to power up my runs and recover from strenuous workouts. But, with all of the bars, gels and other products and supplements out there touting this or that, I have to say I am always skeptical at best!
We’ve got to admit, we here at GirlieGirl Army eat more cooked foods than we’d like. Why? Because the one time we went raw, we’d never been thinner, felt better, or had more of a fabulous bounty of energy.
