On New Year’s Eve instead of going out to a crowded party or bar, we decided to stay in, cook ourselves a wonderful dinner, play games, drink wine, and enjoy each others’ company. And honestly, I think I prefer my NYE that way! The dinner we made was four courses, gluten-free, vegetarian, EASY, and delicious.

I got a head start on my new years resolutions after Thanksgiving (goodbye rib-crushing Spanx!), and tried to make some new recipes that were very healthy and low in calories, but just as savory and filling as my not-so-low-calorie dishes. And I think I nailed it. This is a super easy weeknight dinner, and allows […]

I’ve never been a huge fan of apple pie. I know it’s un-American, I have no idea why! But I DO like apple crisp….a lot. And it turns out it is pretty easy to make gluten-free! Recipe came from my mom, and we modified it to make it GF with delicious results!

Since my Celiac diagnosis a year and a half ago, and subsequent gluten-free diet, I have come to hold pretty low expectations for gluten-free baked goods. Store-bought bread, muffins, cookies, etc. are always just slightly off in texture or taste, are usually a bit dry and crumbly. So I never really tried baking anything at […]

Now that it’s fall, I figured I should probably learn how to make a pie. You may have noticed that I have little to no dessert, bread, or sweets recipes on here. I’ve never been much for baking…the exact measurements and times always messed me up, and I’d inevitably end up missing a crucial step. […]

You’ll find in the next few months of me posting recipes that I have a serious soup obsession. How can you NOT eat it every day in the fall/winter? Really. Anyway, I love creamy, rich soups, and I especially love making them secretly healthy. Or at least healthier than the traditional recipes. But come on, […]

The days are cooling off, the nights are feeling pretty chilly, which means it’s officially soup season! I recently got an immersion blender, and just had to use it, and tomato soup seemed like the perfect way to test it out. Turns out it’s amazing! Possibly my new favorite kitchen appliance. So easy and effective, […]

So, I kind of have a Chipotle obsession. Okay, more like an addition. I get the veggie burrito bowl every time, and one of my favorite things in the bowl is Chipotle’s corn salsa. SO GOOD. As I was browsing Pinterest one day every single day, I came across a copycat recipe. Yes! I tried […]

Back before I was gluten-free and vegetarian, I would always get biscuits and gravy at diners. I was obsessed. I would just push all the bits of sausage to the side. So now that the traditional recipe is pretty much off limits, I decided to make a version that I could eat! Ingredients Biscuits: Make […]

One of my absolute favorite dishes to make is buffalo tofu, but I have a tendency to just make the tofu, dip it in ranch, end up eating the ENTIRE batch, and neglect any and all vegetables because the tofu is SO GOOD. So, I decided to reexamine this dish today, and try to make […]
