If you're gathering with loved ones this holiday weekend and want to bring a treat that feels both indulgent and deeply nourishing, these flourless walnut brownies are a perfect fit. Rich, chocolatey, and satisfying, they’re made without any grains or flours—just whole walnuts and raw cacao powder as the base.

Happy Holidays! I created this yummy gluten-free, vegan cinnamon roll recipe about a month ago and have been looking forward to posting it here for you all! It makes a fun treat to share with family and friends around the holidays.

There’s something so grounding about a warm winter pilaf—the way the grains softly steam, the greens wilt just enough, and those little pops of cranberry brighten every bite. This one has been a favorite in my kitchen for years. It’s hearty, deeply nourishing, and full of the vibrant plant compounds we naturally crave during the colder months. This pilaf makes a beautiful addition to any holiday table, and it also works wonderfully as a gluten-free stuffing for turkey or roasted vegetables. If you want an extra layer of richness, scatter in a handful of chopped, roasted hazelnuts just before serving. They bring such a lovely crunch.

Did you know that the food you consume actually changes how your genes are expressed? Every time we eat we tell our bodies which genes to turn on and which genes to turn off. Did you know that there is more gene expression within two hours after eating than any other time of the day? Why?

Happy Winter Solstice, the darkest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere.

I know I predominantly share recipes here, but I have decided to begin sharing more than just recipes, because our health and the health of the planet is all connected in this intricate web we call life.

My children have so much fun cutting out and decorating these lovely gluten-free Christmas cookies! This time of year takes me back to baking gingerbread and sugar cookies with my mother. My brothers and I would decorate dozens of cookies with beautiful colored sprinkles and bright white icing. I wanted to share that experience with my own children, only with a healthier, gluten-free version. This recipe uses coconut sugar as the main sweetener, along with a powdered coconut sugar icing.

Do you need more ideas for using up all of that kale growing in your garden? We've been making green smoothies, raw kale salads, sautéed kale with garlic....and now creamed kale as well. This dairy-free version is very easy to make as long as you have a blender.

Today I have a very unique recipe to share. A gluten-free bread recipe that needs to be kneaded! It is made of whole grain flours and is also free of xanthan gum, starches, nuts, eggs, and dairy. Last August I began creating kneadable dinner rolls and braided bread free of the above mentioned ingredients. But something was missing.

If you are craving something sweet and simple this holiday season then this recipe might be quite perfect. Making your own caramel corn using maple syrup is quick and easy! Bring a bowlful to your next holiday party or place it in a holiday tin and give it as a gift to a teacher.
