Fall is definitely the season of all things pumpkin. One morning my best friend and I met up at the grocery store to get our shopping done for the week. (Mom dates are so much fun! 😉 ) While there she looks at me and says, “Marian, can you please make me a chocolate chip …
Vegan + Paleo Stuffed Winter Squash
I am such a huge fan of eating seasonally and winter squash is some of my favorite produce ever. I have several stuffed winter squash recipes (like this one, this one, and this one) but none that are vegan/vegetarian friendly. I have had many from you requesing vegan friendly recipes and I am happy to oblige. …
Classic Potato Salad
Potato Salad is a staple at many summer barbecues. It does pair nicely with other staples like grilled meat, baked beans (which are sadly not gluten free), and the like. It’s only been within the last couple years I’ve learned I like having mayo in certain foods (like chicken salad), and it isn’t as bad …
No Bake Vegan Lemon Cheesecake
I am in love with this no bake vegan lemon “cheese”cake! It is rich yet tastes refreshing and light, and my 10 friends (and wonderful taste testers) absolutely LOVED this dessert. No one even guessed it wasn’t made with cream cheese! You can’t get any better than that. I love my no bake pumpkin cheesecake …

I love to develop recipes that (for the most part) are simple, with few ingredients, and delicious is a must. …
Gluten Free Blueberry-Lemon Coconut Flour Mini Cupcakes
My best friend had a bridal shower and the color of the hour was purple. We wanted to keep things as natural (and healthy) as possible, have as many paleo options as we could, and people enjoy the food without really thinking about it. We modified my Vanilla Coconut Flour cupcake recipe and came up …
Gluten Free Mexican Style Quinoa
I love Mexican food. However, corn and rice do not love me which are the two staples of this wonderful cuisine. Since we are also a gluten free home, I have had to get creative in the kitchen. Not a bad thing by any means, but as you may be experiencing as well, changing up …
Refreshing Fruit Salad with Mint and Lime
I love summertime. The sun, swimming, slightly slower pace and many cook-outs. Fruit salad is a staple around here. Fruit is abundant, delicious, cold and packed with nutrition. Yes fruit has sugar. No you do not have to worry about it and here’s why: Fiber-fruit is high in fiber. It slows down the absorption of …
