grain free granola recipe

Grain Free Granola with Blueberries and Coconut

An easy grain-free granola recipe that is perfect for anyone following a gluten-free diet plan. I am definitely not gluten-free. I eat plenty of bread, have a strict dessert-first motto, and even eat pasta on occasion. That said, I also eat a lot of gluten-free things. Sometimes because I’m always experimenting with the latest food [...]

crispy tempeh

Crispy Tempeh Quinoa and Spinach Salad

I love a good salad, especially one that is filling enough to be a meal on its own. Like this tempeh quinoa salad. It’s healthy, tasty, and filling. And comes together pretty quickly.

Easiest Pan Seared Salmon

Pan-seared salmon coated in lemon pepper makes a quick and easy weeknight main. I spend a lot of time in the kitchen testing recipes, photographing different dishes, and just experimenting.

Gluten-Free Raspberry Coconut Oat Bars

Easy raspberry oat bars with toasted coconut are an easy dessert for any time. Almost every time I go to a gathering, I’m asked to bring something sweet. Sometimes I bring pie.

Mediterranean Brown Rice Bowls

A brown rice bowl with tons of flavor is the perfect healthy meal on a busy night. I love a good grain bowl, especially if it has lots of veggies and a delicious sauce. But then it’s like, is it a salad? It could be? I also like a brown rice bowl that is easily [...]

mocha coffee sugar

Mexican Mocha Coffee Sugar

Mocha coffee sugar with a hint of heat is perfect for cold winter mornings! I like food, and I cook, so I am often gifted not just cooking tools, but also gourmet food gifts. Things that are nice to have, but I wouldn’t buy myself. Mostly because they are expensive. One of those gifts was [...]

strawberry coconut smoothie

Strawberry Coconut Smoothie

A luscious creamy strawberry coconut smoothie is everything right now. This is the worst time of the year. It’s cold and gray. We got a huge bunch of snow that won’t go away. Because it’s cold and gray. And we sometimes get a sliver of sunshine that makes you think spring is in the air. [...]
