Gluten-Free Chewy Chocolate Almond Cookie Recipe Today I am going to talk about cookies. But not just any cookies. These sweet babies are chewy, chocolatey perfection. And I don't follow a gluten-free diet, so it's not like they taste like sawdust but I'm saying they taste good because it's all I can eat. I have options, and I would still choose these cookies any day of the week. Every time I serve them, they receive rave reviews and recipe requests. The recipe is simple, only five ingredients long, featuring almond flour and melted chocolate. I buy my almond flour at Costco or from the Winco bulk bins. You could also grind your own almond Keep Reading
Butternut Squash Soup (gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
Butternut Squash Soup For some reason, my garden was kind of a dud this year. The tomatoes were stubborn, the kale was cranky. And don't even get me started on the cucumbers. ugh. But the butternut squash? They must've known the other vegetables were slacking off because they kicked it into high gear this summer. I have two boxes filled with big, beautiful butternut squash. If you're just not that into squash, I totally get it. I was once a card carrying member to Squash Haters Anonymous, but I am slowly coming around to its charms. Butternut is a great place to start. It's sweet and firm and mellow and friendly. Simply roasting little cubes Keep Reading
Pumpkin Quinoa Breakfast Bowl (a gluten-free, dairy-free recipe)
Pumpkin Quinoa Breakfast Bowl This recipe was featured several years ago in the Oregonian Foodday. I love the short ingredient list and the fact that it combines pumpkin puree + cooked quinoa, two ingredients I almost always have in my pantry or freezer. Add a swirl of maple syrup, splash of milk, and pinch of spice before sliding it into the microwave. In about 2 minutes, you'll be holding a warm, filling breakfast bowl. Add any toppings your little heart desires to take it over the top. My favorite combination is sliced bananas, toasted almonds, and plain yogurt. Pumpkin is high in fiber, vitamin-A and C, antioxidants, and potassium. Quinoa is Keep Reading
Beans and Greens {vegetarian meal idea}
Beans and Greens Vegetarian Meal My family and I are cruising along on our new vegetable-based diet and loving it. For the first time in... ever, I have no meat in my refrigerator and only three small packages in my chest freezer. In the past, when I started all of our meal planning with the meat, this would have been a problem. We have nothing to eat! Now I find it strangely liberating to push my cart right past the meat department. It has opened up a whole new world of flavors and a good amount of grocery money. We haven't gone hungry, and we haven't missed meat. We aren't vegetarians by any stretch, as we still eat meat if the craving hits or Keep Reading
Pumpkin Bars with Vanilla Frosting (Paleo and gluten-free recipe)
Paleo Pumpkin Bars A few years ago, I missed a meeting I was supposed to attend. No big deal, I thought, I'll just get the high points from someone who was there. Little did I know the high point involved food! Word started spreading about these amazing pumpkin bars Alyssa brought to the meeting. She sent me the recipe from Paleo Cupboard. I made the pumpkin bars, ate way too many before they were even cool, and quickly resolved not to miss any more meetings this year. I haven't done much gluten-free or Paleo-friendly baking so I wasn't sure what to expect with this recipe. It turned out way more moist and flavorful than I was expecting. So, Keep Reading
Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup recipe
Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup This Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup will quickly become a favorite recipe because it is frugal, healthy, and SUPER easy to make. After you cook the chicken, the majority of the recipe calls for throwing things in the pot. If you have beans already done, you can whip this up in about ten minutes. Including the time it takes to set the table. The enchilada sauce makes the soup a bit spicy, so mix in a spoonful of sour cream and top the soup with some cheese to tone down the flavor for kids or the spice-averse. Black Bean Chicken Enchilada Soup Ingredients: 1 T. avocado oil (or your favorite cooking Keep Reading
Slow Cooker Chicken Chili recipe
Green Chile Chicken Chili Football is not really my thing. I don't really mind watching games, but I couldn't tell you the difference between a tight end and an end zone. I know those are both football references, and I could think of at least 3 tight end jokes, so at least that's something. As long as the chips & dip are within easy reach, though, I would happily sit on the couch for at least one... quarter. And yes, I just Googled that. Inning didn't sound right. But something I do love is getting together with friends and family and food. Football is as good an excuse as any for doing just that. Although maybe we have to Zoom watch Keep Reading
