And this Easy Balsamic and Rosemary Pork Loin is a testament to that principle.

Instant Pot Red Curry Chicken and Vegetables
I rarely say no to anything with coconut and curry in it. Mention the phrases “quick and easy” and “no added sugar,” and I’m sold. That’s why this Instant Pot Red Curry Chicken and Vegetables speaks to me on so many levels. It’s spicy and a little sweet, with some richness from the coconut milk, and […]
Instant Pot Chicken Soup w/ Gluten-Free Matzo Balls
I know this may be an odd statement, but matzo ball soup always reminds me of Christmas. So it’s fitting that I created the recipe for Instant Pot Chicken Soup w/ Gluten-Free Matzo Balls in December. Whether it’s from a single memory or a string of combined childhood memories, I remember going with my family to […]
Leftover Pumpkin Pie Collagen Smoothie
Open up my fridge at any point in October, November, or December, and there’s a 50/50 shot that you’ll find a container of leftover pumpkin puree. It is a truth universally acknowledged that whether you’re making pumpkin bars, pumpkin cookies, or any other delicious pumpkin-infused treat, you probably won’t end up using a whole can. […]
Gluten-Free Italian Sausage and Cornbread Stuffing
Thanksgiving turkey is great and all, but if you were anything like me growing up (aka little Debbie, lover of all things where bread is involved), the stuffing is really where it’s at. And this Gluten-Free Italian Sausage and Cornbread Stuffing is the perfect melding of all those delicious Thanksgiving flavors, in an allergen-friendly package […]
Easy Homemade Turkey Chili With Bell Peppers

In my experience, everyone has a go-to chili recipe, and this Easy Homemade Turkey Chili with Bell Peppers is inspired by those autumn […]
Spiced Pumpkin Butter Cups with Collagen
Oh, how I love fall. While autumn in Orange County tends to be pretty warm and not nearly as crisp as I would like, come mid-October and November, I’m a happy camper. Just give me a hot cup of coffee, a cozy scarf, and the smell of apples and cinnamon in the air, and I’ll […]
Pepperoni Pizza Chicken
Could there be a more perfect food than pizza? I submit that there is not. And the next best thing to having a big crusty, cheesy slice of pizza is Pepperoni Pizza Chicken. This recipe raises the bar on “weeknight chicken” by adding homemade pizza sauce, lots of Italian spices, and melted mozzarella cheese and […]
Gluten-Free Italian Breadsticks with Homemade Pesto
Gluten-Free Italian Breadsticks with Homemade Pesto are the quintessential Italian restaurant-style breadsticks you’ve been missing in your life. With a crisp, doughy texture and notes of garlic and basil throughout, these breadsticks pair perfectly with my grain-free Italian Sausage Bowls or chicken parmesan. And that homemade pesto on top? Icing on the cake. One of the […]
Instant Pot Zesty Lime Shredded Chicken
Instant Pot Zesty Lime Shredded Chicken is a genuine life-saver. It’s the kind of meal prep I love because it involves about 5 minutes of prep and 20-25 minutes of completely hands-off cooking. And it tastes so darn delicious. The combination of lime, salsa, and chile powder on top of succulent, juicy chicken is pretty […]
