There are some people who don’t like pasta. Today’s recipe is for the other 95% of you. With so many options to choose from (wheat, gluten-free, quinoa, chickpea, einkorn), it’s no wonder so many of us still find a place in our hearts—and stomachs—for noodles.

When winter rolls around, I like to mix up my salads with some delicious seasonal foods.

I am a peanut butter monster! I don’t even want to think about the amount of money I’ve spent on plain, crunchy peanut butter in the past year. It must be in the hundreds though. I always have a good ol’ jar of PB on hand. Recently, I was craving cookies but didn’t have very much in my cupboard. I had a whole whack of shredded coconut and of course my trusty peanut butter…so I decided to make peanut butter macaroons, because what is better than that, seriously…

This granola comes out so crunchy and yummy, it’s the perfect thing to sprinkle onto yogurt or fruit, or have as a snack!

After going grain-free a few months ago, I started to desperately miss pancakes. I used to get pancakes every Sunday morning as a kid and I refuse to live a life where I don’t get to indulge in a syrupy stack at least once in a while. I was looking for a recipe for pancakes that are allergen-free—so no gluten, eggs, or dairy—and that are also paleo. I know…tall order.

They say that cookies are the staff of life, or is it bread…either way, I’ve been “running” on cookies lately. Ever since I discovered this healthy, low sugar, vegan, grain-free recipe, it’s been my go-to snack as I run out the door—and sometimes even right before I jump into bed!
