Staples of a Healthy Well-Balanced Diet
Making the transition to a healthy lifestyle can be daunting! I always base my meals around the following food items (and I cannot stress ORGANIC ORGANIC ORGANIC enough!!). I urge everyone to read up on GMOs and see why I eat ORGANIC and verified non-GMO food.

Take Out Chinese at Home (V, GF,)
I could eat Chinese food every week, and most weeks I would when I was able to eat out at restaurants. Now, thanks to my intolerances, I’m unable to go out to grab a bite. I will not let that stop me from eating my favorite foods! This meal is so simple to make and…

Pumpkin Quinoa Muffins to Warm Your Heart (V, GF)
I woke up to a cool, rainy morning here in the North East. The beautiful fall foliage is mostly on the ground, so it looks more like a dreary November morning. Normally it’s perfect sleeping weather, but It also happened to be one of the few mornings Joey & I have together. I wanted to…

Banana Nut Butter Quinoa Bread (V, GF)
Simplicity is my best friend. This banana bread is as simple as it gets. Because it’s made from Quinoa (say it together, keen-wah), this bread is full of high-quality protein. Not to mention, it’s as delicious as you can get. Oh, did I mention it’s also vegan, gluten-free, and soy-free?

Mexican Corn & Black Bean Salad (Vegan, Gluten Free, Organic)
There’s nothing I love more than a simple delicious salad. They’re a synch to mix up & make a great addition to any meal. I added sweet champagne mangoes to this dish, but you can add any other ripe mango or papaya to this dish (or eliminate if you can’t find any that are ripe!). …

*You don’t need these beautiful antique fruits to make a tarte tatin! Any type of apple or pear (or apple & pear!) tarte tatin is absolutely delicious. **If you can eat gluten, and would like a little shortcut for your pastry dough, use 1 sheet of thawed prepared puffed pastry and use in step 8…

Delicious Vegan and Gluten Free Pizza
Who doesn’t want a pizza night? When I had to transition to a gluten-free diet (and a xantham gum & tapioca flour free diet) I was on a mission to develop a delicious dough. Just because you are on an allergen-restricted diet doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your food! Gluten-free dough is tricky and…
