It’s crazy to think that I have hundreds of recipes throughout the blog and 4 cookbooks and have never published my Honey Simple Syrup Recipe as a standalone recipe! It’s used throughout Celebrations in the paleo-friendly cocktails, and I use it all the time to make my kids a quick glass of lemonade when they… Read more »

You know I love a good tequila-based cocktail. Margaritas in any form will always be my drink of choice, and this Watermelon Margarita has quickly become a weekend favorite for Ryan and me. Tequila is a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant, so it is naturally grain and gluten-free. I stay away from… Read more »

I was compensated to review their products, but all purchases are our own.   I remember visiting Thrive Market when they were a start-up in a small… Read more »

My time in New York inspired this Roasted Pineapple and Sweet Potatoes recipe. It’s a city that holds a special plate in my heart.  I have watched from afar through the COVID crisis as the city hurt. But I’ve also watched with admiration while they have so powerfully bonded together. My book publisher’s office is… Read more »

You’ve been waiting all quarantine for this gluten-free Crunchy Graham Crackers recipe, so I pushed it up in the list of other recipes I had in the queue to get it to you earlier. Hopefully you can make them with your family, and enjoy something that is comforting and familiar this weekend.  What a strange,… Read more »

In 2017, I released my beloved gluten-free and corn-free Marshmallow recipe from my Celebrations cookbook on the blog. I’ve used those marshmallows to create gluten-free and refined sugar-free Sprouted Brown Rice Crispy Treats over the years. However, I never published a recipe for them because the blog is all grain-free. Interestingly, I recently polled my audience on… Read more »

What’s more classic than a Chocolate Dipped Banana? You all know how much I love to recreate favorite recipes from childhood, and this dessert is absolutely one of those for me. I think I first had Chocolate Dipped Bananas at Disneyland as a child and introduced them to my own kids when we first took… Read more »

A few summers ago, Ryan and I were at the beach here in California when we stopped at a juice bar for a refreshing drink. We saw Acai Bowls advertised and couldn’t help but get one to share along with our juice. We fell in love with Acai Bowls during our brief move to Kona… Read more »

Caramel Corn always takes me straight to Halloween. Growing up it was one of those classics that we always made around the month of October and I continue the tradition with my children. They love making (and eating) this gluten-free caramel corn!  I decided to jazz up the standard caramel corn by adding in some… Read more »

Mexico is one of our favorite destinations for a family vacation. Home to margaritas, chips, and guacamole (two of those being my most favorite things in the world to consume in vats). Mexico is also close to California and relatively inexpensive to travel to from here. A few years ago we rented a house and… Read more »

There are few things that I enjoy more than curling up on the couch after a long day to watch a show with Ryan while enjoying a bowl of ice cream. Chocolate ice cream. Maybe double chocolate. Actually, imagine throwing in some thin mints in there for good measure. That’s right – a Double Chocolate… Read more »

I love Nashville and all of my precious friends that live there. While I am so proud to be a Californian, Nashville holds a very special place in my heart. I especially love when I get an extended time to stay with my friend Hillary and her family. I know a few things will always… Read more »

When I took it upon myself to make paleo and gluten-free homemade versions of the ever popular Thin Mint & Tagalong cookies, I knew I also had to include a Gluten-Free Samoas Cookie for my coconut lovers out there! Although I use coconut products in my recipes often, I’m actually not the biggest coconut fan…. Read more »

The period of time after New Years and before Easter can only mean one thing…Girl Scout cookie season! When I was a kid, this made the holidays coming to an end just a little bit sweeter. I never was a Girl Scout myself, but I always enjoyed supporting them by eating sleeves of cookies at… Read more »
