This Turmeric Piña Colada Smoothie is a dream come true. We’re at the beginning of those hot summer months, and who can pass up a cold, sweet, pineapple- and coconut-flavored drink? Not me! And this one is even better than your typical poolside beverage, because it’s loaded with anti-inflammatory properties, like turmeric and cinnamon. Plus, […]
Oh, snacks. It seems that people are either pro-snack or anti-snack these days, and I’d like to add a middle-of-the-road opinion here. Because the truth is, life is CRAZY and sometimes you want a little pick-me-up when 3:00 PM hits during a busy day. Should you snack every day? Probably not. Can excessive snacking become […]
Roughly 50% of my diet in college was made up of spinach-artichoke dip. Seriously. And it usually came from chain restaurants that likely didn’t serve spinach in any other form on the menu. But I digress. I still adore spinach-artichoke dip, but I’m convinced that eating a homemade, dairy-friendly (goat cheese instead of conventional dairy) […]
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. […]

Like peanut butter and chocolate, eggs and bacon, and pizza and pineapple, some flavor duos bring joy to my soul. And after making these Gluten-Free Peaches and Coconut Cream Doughnuts, I’m adding peaches and cream to the short list, too. With their vanilla cake-like flavor and fresh peach topping, it’s fitting that these little doughnuts make […]
Toast is one of my favorite things. I have so much love for toast. Toast with butter, toast with an egg on top, avocado toast, and of course, toast with peanut butter. Bring cinnamon raisin toast into the mix, and you’re sweeping me off my feet. Needless to say, dreaming up this delicious gluten-free and […]
Vanilla Coconut Cashew Butter is a smooth, decadent nut butter that reminds me of a creamy rendition of a blondie cookie bar, the significantly under-appreciated cousin to the brownie. Seriously, where is the love for the blondies out there? Maybe it’s that buttery taste that gets to me, but blondies are a pretty perfect cookie. In any case, if […]
