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, […]
Peanut butter. Banana. Chocolate chips. Now that I have your attention, let me add that these tasty Peanut Butter and Banana Paleo Pancake Doughnuts are also grain- and gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy free, and ridiculously easy to make (they use Birch Benders Paleo Pancake Mix instead of regular flour). Yeah, I’m pretty sold on these […]
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 […]
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.

With their vanilla cake-like flavor and fresh peach topping, it’s fitting that these little doughnuts make […]
Confession: Sometimes I just want a good old-fashioned brownie…that tastes like a good old-fashioned brownie (and also happens to be gluten free). That’s not too much to ask, is it? Enter these Shortcut Gluten-Free Brownies with Raspberry Compote, made with Namaste Foods’ Organic Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix. They’re incredibly chocolatey, gluten-free, and over-the-top indulgent. I wholeheartedly […]
Whether you are gluten-free or love ALL of the glutinous items in the world, you need (I repeat, NEED) to make this Gluten-Free Homestyle Apple Crisp. While it has no wheat, eggs, or refined sugar, it tastes like an indulgent apple pie. It’s comfort food at its finest. This is what I like to call “vintage cooking […]
Honey-Cinnamon Walnut Butter is creamy, sweet, a little salty, and loaded with good fats. It’s one of my favorite nut butters of ALL TIME. It has this unique and scrumptious texture and flavor that pairs oh so well with apples or warmed on a piece of toast. I just love it so much. I’ll let you in on […]
