Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)

Vegan Cream of Mushroom Soup (grain-free)

When we first met, Kevin knew he was sensitive to lactose but ate it anyways because he didn’t think there were any other options and had no familiarity with dairy-free recipes. He had Parmesan on his pasta instead of nutritional yeast, shredded mozzarella on his pizza instead of vegan cheese, 1% cow’s milk in his…

Thyme and Onion Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)

Thyme and Onion Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)

If the dessert crackers from last week didn’t entice you, I’m sure that these will. They’re crunchy, savory and taste a lot like Wheat Thins, believe it or not. Also, don’t let the flax-base scare you. They’re not your average flax cracker. In fact, they’re anything but. I remember the first time I made flax…

Cranberry Sauce Muffins (vegan + grain-free)

Cranberry Sauce Muffins (vegan + grain-free)

Like you, I’m not a fan of the gummy muffin. You know the kind; especially if you’re gluten-free, egg-free or vegan. The uncooked center, hard exterior – it’s anything but a muffin. I want that pull apart gluten-filled consistency, the crisp, slightly crystallized sugar exterior and a fluffy inside… now that’s a muffin my friends.

Apple Pie Crackers (grain-free + nut-free)

Angela and I had such a blast this past weekend. We made our 2013 dream boards, ate a whole bunch of great food, watched chick flicks, practiced some hot yoga and created a brand new, highly exciting recipe.

Snugglebum Leftover Turkey Soup

Snugglebum Leftover Turkey Soup

Snugglebum warm was an expression my Mom always used when she wrapped us up in a billion layers and kicked us out of the house to play in the snow for awhile. According to urban dictionary, a snugglebum is a human heater – that special someone in your life that cuddles up with you to…

Spiced Carob Cookies (grain-free + vegan)

Spiced Carob Cookies (grain-free + vegan)

There are just four days left until we ring in 2013 and I think that these cookies should be the last recipe you enjoy this year. The ingredients are easy to find, the recipe is simple, and the results are sinfully delicious. I brought a batch along with us to a Christmas party earlier this…

3 Ingredient Chocolate Turtles

3 Ingredient Chocolate Turtles

My Dad’s love for the caramel filled, pecan bottom, chocolate covered treat, otherwise known as the Nestlé Turtle, runs deep. Not as deep as his love for jujubes, but pretty close. It’s tradition that Dad get a box of Turtles every single Christmas. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Even…

Vegan + Gluten-free Twix Bars 2.0 (nut-free)

Vegan + Gluten-free Twix Bars 2.0 (nut-free)

I have a weak spot for DIY chocolate bars. Given the popularity of the no bake homemade Twix bars I made for Halloween, I’d say that you all do too! The no bake version was made with a no bake cookie base, sunflower butter and medjool date caramel and allergen-free chocolate, but wasn’t safe for…
