Sometimes life gets busy, so having healthy and easy breakfast options that are ready to grab ‘n go are so helpful. This nut and seed bread is great because it’s super filling and full of nutrients that help give you an energy boost when you need it most. One loaf lasts me about 5 days,…

Grain Free Flatbread (4 variations!)
Who doesn’t love an easy, quick, and delicious recipe that can be made in a variety of ways to fit whatever you’re craving? I had so much fun experimenting with different flavors for this flatbread, and I chose my top 4 favorite variations to share. If you find any other fun flavor combinations, please share…
Blackened Cod with Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
I had the opportunity to visit New Orleans for the first time about a month ago, and one of the best parts of the whole trip was the AMAZING food. First of all, I had no idea that New Orleans would have so many gluten free options. Almost every restaurant we went to had a…
Parmesan Roasted Acorn Squash
“Eat your vegetables” they said. “It will be fun” they said. I don’t think any of us fell for that as kids. One of my earliest memories is choking down a mushy cooked carrot from my bowl of pot roast that my mom made me eat. If I could have had it my way, I…
Shrimp Ceviche
This is one of those recipes that I find myself making multiple times a week, especially in the summer. I live in Seattle, where 80% of the year we see cool temperatures and cloudy weather. Since we need it so rarely, most buildings don’t have an air conditioning system – my apartment included. So, June…
Green Goddess Dressing/Dip
Lately I’ve realized that approximately 70% of my adult life seems to be spent at the grocery store. It’s crazy how quickly I run out of things, and how often I’m saying “But we just went to the store two days ago! How do we already need to go again?!” One of the most annoying…
Tuscan Roasted Potatoes
I love these potatoes because they’re so versatile in how you can use them. They make an excellent side dish, a flavorful salad topping, and a filling snack. Whenever I’m going to a dinner party or potluck type of event, I get several requests to bring this dish, and so far I’ve never brought home…
Balsamic Dijon Vinaigrette
It can be difficult to find truly healthy salad dressings that don’t contain any gluten, dairy, sugar, or preservatives. And some of the specialty ones that are free of these ingredients can get pretty expensive. I love this recipe because it’s super easy, inexpensive, and it makes enough for probably about a dozen salads, depending…
Avocado Salsa
I called this a salsa, but I can envision a wide variety of uses for this delightful green sauce. As a salad dressing, a dip for veggies, or, as I used it, a drizzle over tacos or dip for gluten free tortilla chips. It’s one of the most delicious salsas I’ve ever had – nobody…
Roasted Salsa Verde
Every once in a while, I’ll get a craving that won’t subside no matter how long I attempt to wait it out. This week, that craving was tacos. Since tacos are always boring without salsa, I decided to try to make my own (for the first time!) and it was probably the greatest decision I’ve…
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…
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…
