Black Bean Protein Brownies

Shhh, don’t tell anyone, but there’s a secret ingredient in these brownies to make them protein and fiber filled! I’m sure you’ve seen black bean brownies before, but I add a lil extra protein boost to mine. I promise you can’t taste the beans! These brownies were taste tested and approved by someone who hates…

Gluten-Free Chicken and Dumpling Soup (Paleo Option, Diary free)

This winter has been BRUTAL! As I write this, it is currently 3 degrees F outside. Disgusting. So hearty, warming soups are the way to go. I'm not usually a huge soup person, but if it's got enough ingredients and something to chew, I'm in. I love a good chicken and dumpling soup because, hello,…

Gluten Free Protein Donuts (Entenmann’s Copycat-ish) (Dairy-Free, Nut-Free)

These fun Entenmann's-esque donuts have a secret protein boost to make them more filling, nutrient-dense, and delicious! I've made two variations, the chocolate covered and cinnamon crumb, so you can pick which version to make based on your cravings ;). I love both but I certainly have a sweet spot for cinnamon crumb These donuts…

Gluten Free Gingersnaps (Dairy Free, Nut Free)

I grew up on Mi-Del Gingersnaps and they were my freaking favorite! The specific ginger flavor and crunch they have is one I’ll never forget. They do make a gluten free version, but they contain palm oil which I don't eat. I haven't been able to find a gluten free gingersnap quite like childhood since.…

Healthier, Gluten-Free Sugar Cookies with Sweet Potato Frosting

I’m not usually a sugar cookie fan, I just find them way toooo sweet. I’m also not an icing girl, it’s always pure sugar- my teeth and stomach ache just thinking about it. But I’m really excited about these sugar cookies because they are lower in sugar and utilize sweet potato in the icing (yes,…

Lentil Salad (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

I've worked on introducing more beans and legumes into my diet over the last year. I never really liked lentils, but I've been trying them out lately just to see. I attempted to make vegan lentil meatballs a few weeks ago (yeah, those didn't quite work out) and had a bunch of leftover lentils. I…

Summer Strawberry Bread (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free)

You already know I'm trying to get all the berries in before summer ends (cue the ugly crying). My friend mentioned strawberry bread to me and I immediately had a craving for it and knew I had to make my own. That's how this recipe was born and I now can't get enough of it!…

Mixed Berry Blondies (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)

In the summer, I try to get as many berries and peaches in as I can. Why are summer fruits the absolute best? And why is summer fruit season so short? Okay, why is summer so short?! Anyway, I love an easy, simple, delicious dessert and if you do too, then this recipe is for…
