I’m so excited to be sharing one of my favorite meals! This one is less of a recipe, since the toppings should vary based on your own personal taste. I will be sharing my own AvoTaco formula, but this can easily be adapted to fit everyone’s dietary preferences. I don’t know about you, but my…

Brazilian Shrimp Soup
These past few weeks have slowly begun to look like spring. The trees are blossoming with little pink flowers, there’s usually around an hour of sunlight per day (followed by 9 hours of misty rain…it’s still Seattle), and the daylight lasts a little longer into the evening. It’s got me excited for the upcoming warmer…
Where Gluten Hides
When I was 18 and first diagnosed with “gluten sensitivity” (we didn’t know at the time that it was Celiac), I figured that gluten would be fairly easy to avoid. I just can’t eat bread, cookies, cake, or pie right? Boy was I wrong. Gluten is everywhere, and although some items are obvious gluten harborers,…
Avocado and Dill Zoodles with Shrimp
I’m always on the lookout for creative zoodle recipes, since they are so good for you and actually pretty filling. This one was fantastic because the sauce didn’t even have to be cooked! All that needs to be cooked is the shrimp, and I prefer to sauté the zoodles too since it softens them a…
Mashed Butternut Squash
Butternut squash has all kinds of health benefits, including a high concentration of potassium and vitamin B6, which supports the immune system and nervous system. I have a deep love for potatoes in all forms .This recipe is a less starchy (and more colorful) side dish that can be used to replace mashed potatoes and…
Homemade Chicken Broth
Bone broths are a goldmine of healing properties: Gut healing – Bone broths are rich in gelatin, which seals up holes in your digestive tract (ulcers, holes in your intestines, leaky gut syndrome). Additionally, they contain the amino acid L-glutamine, which specifically reduces gut inflammation. Bone broths also normalize stomach acid, which is helpful for…
No-Bake Breakfast Bites
I make these all the time because they are perfect for a quick grab’n’go breakfast on busy mornings, and they also help settle sweets cravings if you have one or two for an afternoon snack. They are pretty much cookies, but with more protein and less sugar! Ingredients 1 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut 1…
Spring Greens & Citrus Salad
I tried this salad reluctantly at one of my favorite restaurants, Duke’s Chowderhouse, and was unsure how I would feel about the unique combination of toppings. I have never been a fruit-in-salad kind of person…until I had this. It may sound like a strange recipe to those of you who, like me, are wary of…
Gluten Free Crepes
Do you ever like to wake up early on a Sunday morning, make yourself a cappuccino, gaze at the sunrise, and pretend you are in Paris? No? Just me? Okay, well I have yet to go to Paris, but I already know I would fit in perfectly. I love macaroons, any kind of cheese, and…
Clam Chowder
It is almost criminal to live in Seattle and not like clam chowder. I love how the warm and flavorful soup makes me feel on a rainy day. I had always expected clam chowder to be difficult to make, so I just went to restaurants whenever I had a craving, which was often. It was…
Greek Lemon Chicken Soup
I have a deep love for Greek food, and this is probably my all time favorite recipe. I am so excited to share it! I make it year round, even when it’s too hot outside to be typical soup weather. The rich lemon flavor makes it just as refreshing on a hot day as it…
Apple “Cookies”
Sweets will be my doom. I am so good all day: yogurt for breakfast, salad for lunch, baked chicken dish for dinner…and then those late night sugar cravings come calling, and all my hard work is ruined. I have a difficult time avoiding sweets. That is why being gluten intolerant is actually a bit nice…
