Whole 30 Chicken Normandy with Apples & Coconut Cream
Hi folks! Happy (almost) Fathers Day! I am currently on day 17 of the Whole 30. I have been trying to come up with creative and delicious dinner ideas that are full of protein, delicious flavor, and healthy. I had never made Chicken Normandy before, but I knew that I wanted to make it, and I wanted it to be healthy and Whole 30 approved. The regular chicken normandy calls for creme fraise (basically sour cream), regular flour, brandy, and some other ingredients that are not gluten or dairy free. So I substituted coconut cream, chicken stock, almond flour, and it tasted great! All the amazing flavors, but better for…
4 Ingredient Easy Chocolate Coconut Mousse
GUYS. This is a recipe that is incredibly underrated. It may look boring but let me tell you, it is far from it. It is the simplest mousse recipe you will ever make. It’s not sickeningly sweet either, so it gives you the freedom to pair it with something that is also sweet, like fruit. I love pairing it with fresh fruit, such as strawberries or raspberries. But you can also serve it on top of some shortbread, cake, or scoop a spoonful into your coffee to make it an exciting creamy mocha situation. The possibilities are endless. This chocolate coconut mousse is creamy, light, and delectable. But as always,…
Healthy Gluten-Free Thin Mint Cookies (Girl Scout Copy Cat)
Everyone loves Girl Scout Cookies. They are hard to find and in high demand 😉 They are also expensive, and not super good for you. But the flavor and taste are to die for. That’s why everyone loves them! Well here is a Paleo approved version of the classic Thin Mint Cookies. Let me tell, they taste extremely similar to the originals, but they are cheaper, healthier, and you can have them whenever you want! The recipe also a good amount so you can take half and put them in the freezer for later! Sounds like a good deal right? I just wanted to take a second and thank all…
Gluten and Dairy Free Churro Waffles
Not only are these waffles, soft, delectable, and sweet, they are Paleo approved AND dairy/gluten free! Although these are dessert type waffles, you can have them for breakfast, brunch, or even an afternoon snack! I would also suggest serving them at parties like baby showers, bridal showers, or even a breakfast themed birthday party! These waffles can be topped with 100% pure maple syrup or fresh berries and ghee. The texture is fantastic, the batter is a normal consistency, and they taste great. These will not let you down. Also, these waffles were featured in a Buzzfeed article as well, which is super fun. If you wanna check it out,…
Gluten Free Berry Dessert Bars
Here is another great, flavorful, and unique dessert recipe. Even if you aren’t eating super healthy, this is still an amazing and delicious treat. If you like lighter fruity things like pie, cobbler, scones and such, these berry dessert bars are fantastic. It did not take me long to make them either (which is always a plus). Go ahead and try them out, they are an easy and sweet treat!
Gluten Free Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
Don’t mind me, Ill just be over here, snacking on delicious treats and sweets and healthy snacks. This particular recipe is healthy, gluten free, and perfect if you have a hankering for some carby baked goods. These are moist (because of the bananas), not too sweet, and a fantastic snack or breakfast side. They also combine two different flavors that you wouldn’t always think would go together. But for this particular muffin, it totally works! I used crunchy peanut butter which actually gave it great texture. 🙂 The recipe doesn’t seem like it would make a dozen muffins because there is only 1/4 cup of flour in it, but it…
Whole 30 Sweet Potato Chili
This is a recipe I created many years ago, when I decided to do the Whole 30. I wanted a delicious, flavorful, and hearty meal, and I modified a regular recipe to be Whole 30 approved. I have added a couple things since then, like beans, and it is still one of my favorite chili’s to this day. If you do want to make it Whole 30 approved, just omit the beans, and make sure your broths have no sugar added etc. It has few ingredients and takes only about 10-15 minutes to prepare. Even though it’s so simple, it is still extremely flavorful. Whenever I make a batch of…
Gluten & Dairy-Free Coconut Samoa Cookies
The Girl Scouts are back and this time and they are selling everyone’s favorite Samoa’s! Who doesn’t love the combination of gooey caramel, and crunchy coconut dunked in chocolate all on top of a cookie? This cookie brings together the perfect melange of flavors. The best part about this dessert to me is that it is gluten and dairy-free, which means guilt-free! The second best part is that it doesn’t even taste much different. So I can still have the same delectable goodness even though I have dietary restrictions. They aren’t crunchy like the normal samoas, they are soft and delectable. As soon as you bite into them, they crumble…
