Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies

I don’t believe in a life that doesn’t involve treats. But I have to be careful with my treats. I’m so sensitive to sugar and right now eggs and I aren’t friends. So when I wanted a little treat, I knew I couldn’t use my old go-to pb cookies recipe. I needed to re-vamp. I’m very happy with the results.

Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Oat Bars

Last week, my daughter brought me a picture of some oat bars and proclaimed she was going to make them for dessert. In our house, to make food we can all eat it has to be gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and refined-sugar free. We came up with this recipe together and it’s a hit! It’s easy enough that my 8-year-old could “make it” (I helped a bit), it comes together fast, and is customizable and really yummy.

Pizza Spaghetti Squash

I miss pizza. I know if I eat gluten and cheese my skin will break out for a month, my tummy will rumble (that’s the G-rated version) and my joints will hurt. It’s not worth it. But I love pizza! So I decided to make a new kind of pizza using my beloved spaghetti squash. The whole family was happy. And since this is a dish you layer in each individual bowl, everyone  had what they wanted.

This soup is on a whole new level of awesome. Roasting veggies is my favorite way to eat them. So roasting veggies and then turning them into a soup is pretty much the perfect combination. And adding curry is the perfect flavor. Even veggie haters will love this soup.

Healthy Remake: No-Bake Cookies (Vegan, No Sugar)

But being the amazingly caring wife I am, I told my husband I’d make him ANYTHING he wanted for his birthday dessert. His answer: no bake cookies. I looked at him for a moment like he’d just kicked my childhood puppy. I knew my self control would get the better of me. I got out a smaller saucepan and made some dairy-free no-bake cookies at the same time. The success had me almost in tears. I licked the pan, I ate the cookies and I was even able to keep them all to myself because they all wanted Daddy’s cookies. It was pretty awesome.

Healthy Remake: Gluten-Free Pumpkin Soup with Apple Relish

A few weeks ago, my friend made some majorly delicious pumpkin soup. But I was sad when I saw the recipe and realized it included flour and diary. The soup is actually pretty healthy in its original version but if you are like me and swell up in your joints and gut if you eat gluten or dairy, you’ll appreciate my dilemma. I decided to make the soup but change the ingredients and adjust them to still get the same creamy consistency without the flour. I also wanted to up the protein with some chicken. I’m pleased to report I was very successful. My whole family loved this soup.
