Chocolate Sweet Potato Bundt Cake
Gluten-Free/Plant-Based/Vegan/Dairy-Free
Not a day goes by that I’m not looking for some way to make a healthier version of comfort food…especially since traditional comfort food tears up my system like a mother. So, I have to get creative. Since I started gluten-free baking, there have been many experiments that have been both successful and not-so-great. What I have noticed is that when I can use fruits or vegetables incorporated into desserts, not only do they add vitamins and nutrients, but also add moisture and texture. It’s also a great way to trick your loved ones into eating healthier food, so it’s a win-win all the way around! (more…)
Strawberry Sourdough French Toast
Maple Pecan Scones
Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free/Plant-Based/Vegan
Few things in life are more pleasurable than a hot cup of coffee in the morning, and even fewer things go along well with it. For me, it’s all about pairing that incredible cup of coffee with either a muffin or a scone, my two favorites to break my fast with in the morning. Although I do love the Lemon Blueberry Scones, these particular scones are my favorite flavor with the subtle hint of maple and crunch of the pecans all wrapped up in a tender scone. (more…)
Pumpkin Spice Latte
Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free/Plant-Based/Vegan
You know how a lot of people go bonkers when pumpkin season arrives? Well, I am not one of those people. It’s not that I don’t like pumpkin, I actually love pumpkin. It’s the fact that I eat pumpkin flavored items all year long. So when the Fall gets here, I get excited about other people getting excited just because they’re finally getting excited to eat it too. Yes, I’m weird and easily entertained. (more…)

As a kid, one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast was a ridiculously large bowl of cereal drowning in milk. My favorite brands were Cap’n Crunch (Peanut Butter Crunch), Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and Frosted Flakes. All delicious, all loaded with sugar and a bunch of other unhealthy ingredients that massively upset my gut. (more…)
No-Churn Vegan Ice Cream
Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free/Vegan
After writing an entire chapter with over 60 recipes for No-Churn Homemade Ice Cream in my Freezer Pleasers Cookbook, I was hooked on the simplicity of homemade ice cream…and how freaking delicious it is. (more…)
Fruity Mini Pancake Skewers
I’m a big fan of opening my eating window after a daily fast with something that is considered window-worthy. Ladies and gentlemen, these little babies are definitely worth opening that window with a hot cup of coffee. Pancakes are fantastic enough by themselves, but let’s throw in some added nutrition with fresh fruit and then drizzling them with maple syrup. (more…)
Stuffed Mushrooms
Gluten-Free
While I was working on the updated version of my Party Time! cookbook, it was time to add a lot more recipes. As in, over 100 more recipes, to be exact. The last updated version had over 100 recipes, but the new one got bumped up to over 200! There is no shortage of party food recipes in this updated version, and adding stuffed mushrooms to the list was a must. (more…)
Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies
Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free/Vegan
As a kid, one of the snacks that I loved to stuff in my face was an Oatmeal Cream Pie. In all honesty, any of those packaged sweet treats were sure enough to send me into an excited frenzy, which is probably why my mom didn’t keep our pantry stocked with them on a regular basis. Smart woman. (more…)
Halloween 5k and Kids First Fun Run
Since hubby and I started doing races, the kids have tagged along for a few events. I’m not sure what it was about these events, but both of our kids have expressed a strong interest in doing a race. Who are we to say no? (more…)
Quinoa Kale Salad
Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free/Plant-Based/Vegan
Fun Fact: Kale has more nutritional value per calorie than any other food. I remember when I first read that, I stopped and read over it again. Wow, no wonder so many nutrition junkies are obsessed with kale. That’s insane. (more…)
