Marble Bundt Cake (Gluten Free)
We are almost in February guys, and you know what that means… Valentine’s Day! I rarely do anything for this holiday, as I am single and see it as just another day. However, I know there are millions of people that love celebrating it, and have someone special to spend it with. It is fun to see the bouquets of roses, balloons, teddy bears, and surprise trips that my friends and family receive. I love creating and writing recipes for desserts that others can use to make for February 14th. I haven’t made a bundt cake in years, and thought it would be something exciting and different. Bundt cake pans…
Homemade Healthy Grain Free Granola
It is 2022 and everyone is looking to start eating healthy. You are finishing off the last of those gingerbread cookies, licking that last candy cane, and resolving to eat “better” this year. My wish for everyone is that this year is not the year of fad diets, purges, and “cutting out sugar”, but that living a healthy lifestyle, means eating more fruits, veggies, and good protein. This doesn’t mean you have to cut things out completely, or cut back on carbs and sugars. I think it means making wiser decisions in every day life. Eating healthy can be fun and flavorful, it doesn’t have to be boring or be…
Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookie Recipe
(with White Chocolate)Merry Christmas friends! Christmas is officially 9 days away, and I have fully decorated my apartment with green and red. I have snowmen, Santa, a mini Christmas tree, stockings, trimmings, the whole shebang. Christmas is my favorite holiday by far, and always has been. I love baking and cooking during December because there are so many yummy and delicious options and you get to make it cutesy and cozy. I love making the classic sugar cookies cutouts with frosting and sprinkles, peppermint flavored pastries, hot chocolate from scratch, and last but not least, gingerbread cookies! Our family did not grow up making gingerbread cookies, but as an adult I started…
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins
This recipe is one that is simple, uncomplicated, and can be used any time of year. I like these muffins because they can be a snack, side dish, breakfast treat, or a companion to your afternoon tea/coffee. Something to note about these muffins, is that they are best eaten and served within a day or two. They will be the most fresh, moist, flavorful. If you are wanting to have them for more than 2 days, I would put them in the freezer and pull them out at a later time. Gluten free pastries and baked goods are always different, as the flour makes the consistency different, so they become…
Homemade Vegan Pesto
Honestly I am really excited about this simple, easy, vegan pesto. I came up with this recipe because 1. I can’t have basil because I am allergic so I wanted to come up with an alternative because I really love and missed pesto. 2. I also am allergic to walnuts which is a common ingredient in most pestos. Pine nuts are also on the ingredient lists on store bought pestos, and pine nuts at the store- they are expennssiivee sis. Therefore, I came up with some different ingredients as a solution to my quandary. Hence this beautiful, creamy, smooth, aromatic pesto. Of course, there are always variations of the recipe.…
Quick and Easy Apple Crisp (Gluten Free)
Good afternoon my friends, family, supporters, and passerby strangers. Thanks for visiting my humble blog today! This apple crisp recipe may be one of the fastest and simplest desserts on my blog. It is 5 steps and very staple ingredients that most people have in their pantry. I like to describe apple crisp as a sort of upside pie. But it takes way less time to make a crisp than a pie. There is no crust, rather a granola type topping that gives the perfect crunch to a sweet and tangy recipe. I am not going to lie, I am not a huge pie person, and I don’t love hot…
Gluten Free Brownie Cookies w/ Ganache Center
It is October 1st and I can hardly believe it. Like where did September go?! Does anyone else feel like 2021 is going by at lightning speed? This week I bring to you, a new favorite dessert. It is not apple or pumpkin, but it is CHOCOLATE, and who doesn’t love chocolate? I am not going sugar coat it (pun intended), this recipe does take longer than your average cookie, but it is 1000% worth it. These delicious brownies cookies are more laborious because you have to make the chocolate ganache for the center, and refrigerating the dough takes some time as well. But the reason that I love this…
The Best Pumpkin Loaf with Streusel (Gluten-Free)
It is OFFICIALLY Fall people! We are two weeks into September and I have literally already seen dozens of pumpkin recipes flood my Instagram and Pinterest feeds. I get it, it’s super basic and super cliche, but everyone loves pumpkin recipes, and they make you feel happy, cozy, and warm. I love coming up with new, exciting, and different recipes. But sometimes ya gotta stick to the classics, because they just work and they are consistently great and tasty. I am going to be honest with you, I tinkered with this recipe couple times. I even went through all the effort of making the video and shooting the photos for…
Gluten and Dairy Free Chicken Meatballs with GF Pasta and Marinara
Summer 2021 has flown by, and we find ourselves at the beginning of September. The end of swimming in the lake, tanning by the pool, and picnics at the park is here. However, I am excited beyond reason, because that means that Fall is here! Which means the beginning of warm soups, pumpkin spice lattes, strolls through the park wearing scarves and beanies, and savory comforting food like spaghetti and meatballs! Which brings me to our recipe today! I love this recipe because it is quick, has simple ingredients, and is a delicious savory meal, done in under 30 minutes. You can definitely whip this up whether you are a…
Gluten & Dairy Free Healthy Breakfast Sandwich (w/ green avocado sauce)
This is a delicious and deletable breakfast sandwich that I recently starting making, and it has quickly become a favorite lunch or breakfast meal in my household. It has lots of protein (bacon, eggs), flavor, and as far as breakfast Sammys go, healthy! No gluten, no dairy, and lower fat (because of the turkey bacon) I currently cannot have pork or beef, due to a health issue I had awhile back, so I eat turkey bacon and turkey sausage. I found out how to to make my own hash-browns when I was on the Whole 30 and couldn’t find any frozen premade hash-browns that didn’t have any sugar in them.…
