Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls

Roasted Veggie & Turkey Cabbage Rolls

300 calorie meal. Sounds tantalizing, doesn’t it? What if I told you that 1 serving of these cabbage rolls weren’t 300 calories, but 260? And I’m not talking about a tiny wee portion either. Ridiculous, right? Ah, I know!

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…

Roasted Salad Towers

Roasted Salad Towers

I’m all for chowing down on a fresh salad at any time of the day, but when the temperature drops and no amount of hot showers can warm me up, I’d rather drown myself in a warm bowl of veggies and an afternoon nap than chill out with a bowl of fresh veggies.
