Grain-free Chai Granola Bars

Grain-free Chai Granola Bars

Oh my gosh I have so many nuts, seeds and random little baggies of dried fruit in my pantry. I thought that building the spice rack of my dreams would help control my habit of randomly purchasing things from bulk bins but it hasn’t (although it has made finding spices in our new home a whole…

12 Healthy Winter Dinner Recipes

I love dinner, you love dinner, we all love dinner! I love dinner so much that I (accidentally) used a knife to chop a chunk out of my thumb Wednesday night in anticipation for dinner. Major fail. Those bell peppers were just so slippery and my thumb got in the way of the awesomeness that…

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…
