Happy New Year!! Today I'm welcoming 2015 with a headache, a cup of hot lemon water and this recovery quinoa breakfast bowl. I always tend to send off the year with a few too many glasses of champagne, and since I don't drink that often, my body definitely feels it in the morning. And as much as I know that a green juice or smoothie would probably be the best option for my morning meal, my … [Read more...]
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope that you are having a lovely morning so far, surrounded by your loved ones, enjoying their company. If you're lucky, you're looking out your window to a winter wonderland (not for me, but a girl can dream). To honor favorite holiday, I baked you one of my most favorite treats in the world, pumpkin bread. But this isn't any old pumpkin bread, this is a Coconut … [Read more...]
Today my friends, is Day 2 of my special Week of Quinoa Christmas Cookies and I'm thrilled to be sharing this new recipe with you! It was my mission this year to come up with a recipe that brought me back to my mom's kitchen, when we used to make sweet, buttery sugar cookies around Christmas, but that suited my new food allergies. Surprisingly, these Honey Cut-Out Cookies are a cinch to whip up, … [Read more...]
At a time that's full of scary costumes, spooky decorations and sugar-laden treats, I could think of no better way to celebrate than with my own sweet contribution. Gluten-free baking forever changed for me when I started using coconut flour. This flour brings a light and fluffy texture to baked goods that is unmatched with any other gluten-free flour. Fiber-rich coconut flour is low-carb, … [Read more...]
Breakfast being my favorite meal, and usually my first experiment in the kitchen of the day, making something grain-free was at the top of my list. During the week, I opt for green smoothies and on-the-go baked goods for breakfast, but when Saturday morning rolls around and we stroll lazily into the kitchen, there’s one thing on my mind. Pancakes. What’s great about pancakes is that they’re, a) … [Read more...]
Well, this is a first for me. It's my first Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger post! And I couldn't be happier to be sharing this amazing recipe with you (really it's amaaaazing!!) If you're not already familiar with the Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger event (which is hosted by Alta from Tasty Eats at Home this month), was started by Sea from Book of Yum in hopes to help gluten-free bloggers across the … [Read more...]
Beets and Chocolate. An usually delicious combination. Yes, it's true. I'm guilty. Another gluten-free quick bread recipe. Trust me, it's not that I'm getting stale or bored in the kitchen, it's just that I really love sweet breads (I also have a new found adoration for gluten-free muffins!). Especially for breakfast. Smothered in almond butter. Mmm. As difficult as it is for some people to … [Read more...]
A new breakfast treat. Sweet and healthy. I'm always looking for new breakfast ideas. It's the most important meal of the day, so when I'm reviewing recipes I look for ones that are extremely healthy. I want protein, not too much sugar, and tons of flavor. Of course, gluten-free and dairy-free are a given. I'm a big fan of dairy-free smoothies, like my favorite Green Smoothie. I do love my … [Read more...]
