Sugar Free Candied Walnuts (Gluten Free, Low Carb, and Paleo)

Hey, remember when I promised you more savory posts? That doesn't count this week. Sorry to totally confuse you, but I have had this week's posts in the queue for a while now, since I knew this week would be kind of a crazy one (I'm in Dallas today. Any dinner recommendations!? If not, I'll probably go to my beloved Torchy's Tacos). But the good news is that, while these candied walnuts are not exactly savory - which is to say they are not at all savory - they are sugar free because, wait ...

Braised Turmeric Chicken with Apricots and Olives (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Let's do savory, but the sweet kind of savory that incorporates just enough dried fruit to make you think you're eating dessert. Yeah ok, fine, that's a gross exaggeration, but I always feel funny sharing a savory recipe here when most people (I presume) expect sweets. The thing is that I have too many savory recipes in my arsenal to keep them all to myself, so some days, we're going savory. Today is one of those days. ...

7 Tricks for Cooking Vegetables (That You’ll Actually Like)

  About once a week, someone asks me how they can eat more veggies. I don't know why they think I am a veggie-eating pro, but it might have something to do with my Instagram, which betrays my 3x/day vegetable habit. Yeah, I eat veggies for breakfast. It's not as weird as it sounds; trust me. Now, I am not a dietitian or anything, but I have cooked a lot of vegetables and I really love them. Vegetables can be delicious, crisp, refreshing and flavorful - or they can be soggy ... Read More about 7 Tricks for Cooking Vegetables (That You’ll Actually Like)

Homemade Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate (gluten free, paleo, and vegan)

This vegan, dairy-free, and paleo homemade sugar free dark chocolate recipe is incredibly tasty and simple to make. You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to make homemade chocolate with just a handful of clean ingredients! I have nothing at all against someone buying me a lovely box of chocolate for Valentine’s Day.

Not-tella, the Best Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (sugar free, gluten free, paleo, and vegan)

Nottella is a healthier, homemade version of that other chocolate hazelnut spread. Only this version contains real hazelnuts, and no dairy or palm oil! The recipe can be made sugar free or naturally sweetened. Once you've tried Nottella, you'll never buy chocolate hazelnut spread again! In our house, when my husband wants to surprise me, he brings me chocolate, not flowers. That's because he knows me very well, but also because once he brought me flowers to cheer me up after a week where ...

Muddled Berry Arnold Palmer

  Uh oh, it looks like we have another accidental theme week on our hands. Last week, it was chocolate, and this week is berries. I don't know where this berry infatuation came from. Maybe a subliminal swan song as summer comes to an end? Both berry-anything and Arnold Palmers are perfect summer foods.   I don't know what kind of rock I have been living under, but the first time I ever heard of an Arnold Palmer was a couple of years ago when my coworker ordered one at lunch. It was ... Read More about Muddled Berry Arnold Palmer

Paleo-ish Veggie Sliders (gluten free)

Pop quiz: what goes better with sweet potato fries than a burger? Answer: sliders. Why? It's just a rule of the universe. Duh.   Veggie sliders are inarguably better than beef sliders, though, especially when you're someone who hates beef and likes arguing (me), or someone who doesn't like meat but whose stomach can't handle, um, anything from the grain or legume families (also me). Because of my sensitivity to legumes, I try to limit my intake to the good stuff like bean-based ... Read More about Paleo-ish Veggie Sliders (gluten free)

Gluten-Free Chocolate Layer Cake (gluten free & dairy free)

  Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? I haven't. Well, actually, once in college, I had a "surprise" party for my 21st birthday - only I knew about it all along and somehow managed to get food poisoning (actual food poisoning, not euphemism-for-hangover food poisoning) so was late to the party and had to keep stepping out for some fresh air so I wouldn't hurl. Um, surprise? The surprise party I went to last weekend was about 5 million times more successful than that one. ... Read More about Gluten-Free Chocolate Layer Cake (gluten free & dairy free)
