Strawberry Banana Muffins
When I first started blogging about my gluten-free pursuits in the kitchen, I sucked at making muffins and quick breads. Like… really, really sucked. I’m not cutting myself down in the slightest, just stating the facts – baked goods (other than cookies) were not my strong point. I remember making 4 separate batches of movin’…
Vegan Caramel Apple Stacks and Chickpea Salad
It’s been a little over 2 weeks since I left my “real job” and started working from home full time. I wake up not knowing quite what day it is; and don’t really care either, take the dogs for a little walk, make a smoothie, and settle in my office for a couple of hours…
Vanilla Pear Muffins
I’m pretty sure I’ve become obsessed with muffins. It feels like I’ve been posting a gluten-free muffin recipe each and every week. Hmm… I supposed I have been. But wait, these muffins are just as good as the last and they’re grain-free too which is a bonus, right? Perhaps I’ve been drawn to create muffins…
Bombay Banana Smoothie
Our recent trip to Montreal was filled with food. It was the first, and only, trip I’ve ever been on where I ate out for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and still felt good about the food choices I was making. In fact, more often than not, I was having cleaner food than I do at…
Cheesy Crackers
My sister, Christina, and I raced home after school everyday to catch the latest episodes of Jonovision, Street Cents, and Carmen Sandiego. Once we were home, we’d make ourselves a big snack plate; pieces of bread smeared with margarine and crackers topped with cheez whiz, then snuggle up on the couch just in time for…
Vegan Banana Split Popsicles
We’re finally getting to experience a bit of Summer! Perhaps we took a bit of Montreal’s warm weather home with us last week? Whatever the case may be, I’m loving being able to bask in the sun without fear of being rained on. Each Friday, I bake a couple of sweet treats for Kevin and…
No bake Lemon Cashew Squares
I enjoyed our mini vacation, but boy did I have a good time in the kitchen yesterday! It felt like it’d been ages since I’d cooked something. As nice as it was to eat out at fun restaurants in Montreal for 4 days straight, come day 3 I was ready for a simple home cooked…
Raspberry Mojito Popsicles
Goat Dairy is so versatile! Since partnering with Happy Days Dairies I’ve combined goat dairy with chocolate, chicken, dill, beets, and pears to make salads, pate, cooling entrees and appetizers. Each recipe has me proclaiming that it’s the best I’ve made with Happy Days products, until the following week rolls around and I begin saying…
Good-for-You Chocolate Chip Muffins
I love bringing along homemade muffins with me on hotel vacations. They’re fantastic for snack or breakfast, can be filled with protein and healthy fats (which I always seem to lack when I travel), and even if they get squished during my trip, they still taste great. Generally I rely on a mini bar to…
Chicken Waldorf Salad
I enjoy my fair share of chicken, fish, and wild game meats, but you’d never know it from the recipes that I share here on the blog. Although I’d love to document my meat eating action and share with you the balance I maintain between plant and animal based proteins, I’m sad to admit that…
