Fall Lentil Bowls with Walnut Pesto

by 1 Comment

I am SO, so pleased that this is going to be your dinner this week (go with it). These bowls are one of the best things to come out of my kitchen in recent months (and there are….a lot of contenders), are gluten free, vegetarian, and ridiculously yummy in a way that makes you not really that concerned about the health factor.

But the health factor is THERE with these lentil quinoa bowls. We’re talking quinoa, turmeric lentils, roasted sweet potatoes AND tomatoes, and walnut pesto that we’ve made several times this summer for these bowls, pasta, and lots of other yummy things!

The walnut kale pesto is not to be skipped, is my point.

Gluten Free 7-Ingredient Banana Cake

by 2 Comments

I am not gluten free. But! A lot of people are, and all of the kinds of people in this world should be allowed to eat cake. Yummy cake. Intentional cake. Cake with chocolate chips on top of it that are slightly melted like icing.

This recipe came to me via Instagram; someone that I hadn’t heard of before posted the recipe and it included almond flour which I HAPPENED to have a bag of in my freezer, among other gluten free ingredients that need a home.

Summery Caprese Cobb Salad with Grilled Chicken

by Leave a Comment

Oh hello, here’s a salad we can SINK OUR TEETH INTO. Finally. 

I’m all about a main dish salad. I order them often in restaurants because I want to, not because I’m punishing myself for something or feel like I should. BUT, the salad’s gotta be a good one. House made dressings, fun protein choices, crunchy things, etc. If salads on a menu don’t look good, I’m heading straight for ordering a dinner entree during brunch because the smothered chicken is just always so legit, right?

Crispy Garlic Butter Smashed Potatoes

by Leave a Comment

Don’t leave me. It feels good. Embrace it. The garlic butter, that is. 

Hello and welcome to your new favorite side dish! These are YUMMY, a word that honestly should be used to describe as many of your foods as possible. You only live once, potatoes are a vegetable, and garlic butter is the savory icing on the potato cake that we all need to use whenever we possibly can. 

I wrote on Instagram yesterday how much I love this Southern-style cabbage for a quick weeknight side dish. These potatoes, I’d argue, go perfectly with said cabbage, add some fish and chicken and here we go not sorry about two side dishes that use butter, know what I mean? These Crispy Smashed Potatoes are simple to make in just a few steps and the end result is a fluffy-on-the-inside, crispy-on-the-outside cross between mashed potatoes and french fries that is REALLY yummy. Trust.

Grilled Shrimp with Avocado Pico

Oh hi, stereotypical summer meal!

Grilled Shrimp with Avocado Pico De Gallo

I’ve been cooking more low carb meals recently, and a struggle I have is finding meals that feel like a whole meal, not like there SHOULD have been mashed potatoes on the side of this steak, you know?

This is that. It’s the most perfectly light but complete low carb/gluten free meal, and it’s full of huge flavor to boot.
