Dairy Free Strawberry Orange Green Smoothie

March 25, 2020 by Jen Leave a Comment

A dairy free strawberry orange green smoothie perfect for breakfast on the go or a sneaky veggie infused side dish for kids at meal time.

If your kids are like mine, they turn their noses up at vegetables. Every chance I get, I sneak veggies to them without their knowledge. My favorite, most liked way to do that is with a smoothie. This strawberry orange smoothie recipe (much like all smoothie recipes on this site) came to me during hot dog dinner night. I needed something as a quick side dish that would be received with happiness….

Quick Nightshade Free Guacamole

March 23, 2020 by Jen Leave a Comment

This quick nightshade free guacamole comes together fast and gives your tacos the right dose of fat and spice. It’s the perfect cheese substitute in tacos and enchiladas.

Without tolerating dairy, I’ve leaned on avocados as the fatty sub for cheese when eating tacos (basically daily) and salads. Adding guacamole to tacos adds a necessary element of flavor. Having a nightshade free guacamole you can throw together quickly makes eating tacos on a nightshade and dairy free diet much more bearable….

Butternut Squash Cheese Sauce

October 21, 2019 by Jen Leave a Comment

This vegan paleo butternut squash cheese sauce is nightshade free and made with a few simple ingredients so it comes together quickly and can be used throughout the week.

Cheese has stolen the hearts of many. Most people can’t fathom a life without cheese. This butternut squash cheese sauce was created for two reasons. 1. For a dairy free cheeseburger macaroni (recipe coming soon!) and 2. As a cheesy sauce to slather on things. Turns out, I also really like to add it to some rice pasta with some roasted broccoli (upgraded mac and cheese) or mix with some shredded chicken and add to a vegan cauliflower tortilla for a quick snack….

It’s fall and I have gone a bit pumpkin mad. Give me all the pumpkin recipes. Have you had almond pulp freezer fudge? I hadn’t until I decided it was necessary to have an easy sweet treat to keep on hand for sweet munchies. I’m always fiddling around with what to do with leftover almond pulp. This week was a perfect collision of almond pulp from almond milk and pumpkin spice latte creamer. The result is this delicious pumpkin spice almond pulp freezer fudge….

Vanilla Almond Pulp Granola

May 6, 2019 by Jen 6 Comments

A vegan, paleo 5 ingredient granola recipe that is sweetened with dates instead of refined sugar and absolutely delicious. Great for breakfast or dessert!

The simplicity of pouring a bowl of cereal in the morning for a quick breakfast goes out the window when you are following a paleo diet. You can buy pre-made granolas at a specialty store, but they are usually expensive and honestly, not that great. This almond pulp granola recipe has a sweet vanilla-y taste and comes together with something you would normally throw away….

Tortillas aren’t something you think about missing until you go grain free and want a taco or burrito and that lettuce wrap for the 4th time this week isn’t cutting it. These vegan cauliflower tortillas solve this problem and double as a flat bread….

Walnut Pesto Sauce

April 29, 2019 by Jen Leave a Comment

This vegan, dairy free and paleo pesto comes together quickly in a food processor and uses walnuts instead of pine nuts and cheese. Easy to store and perfect for quick weeknight meals.

Did you know traditional Italian pesto is made with a mortar and pestle? It’s a slow process that requires patience and an Italian heritage (probably). Here in America, we have a tendency to simplify those traditions. I haven’t been to Italy and I don’t have any Italian relatives, but I do love pesto. And I love anything that can be whipped up quickly (sorry Italian grandmas)….

Creamy Homemade Almond Milk

April 24, 2019 by Jen Leave a Comment

This creamy homemade almond milk doubles as a coffee creamer and is perfect as over cereal for busy mornings.

Have you ever tried adding the boxed almond milk to your morning coffee? It leaves the strangest taste in your mouth and ruins the best part of the wake up routine. Years ago, I realized this isn’t the case with homemade almond milk. It tastes delicious in coffee and over some homemade paleo granola….

Have you ever seen a toddler refuse to eat vegetables, then eat four servings when offered with a side of ranch dressing to dip?
