Purple Potato Gnocchi with Creamy Garlic Sauce (V) (GF)

As I dig deeper into foods to heal and having read “Eat to Beat Disease” I feel so compelled to share everything that I learn in a translatable way that I can share delicious creations with you.

While this recipe was in the book - I did alter to make gluten free and added a dairy free cream sauce - I found it to be so amazingly good! I had to share!

I’m not going to say making gnocchi was a breeze because its quite messy, but as long as you are patient its really fun! I even had my almost 2-year-old daughter helping! By the end we were both covered in flour and dough but it was worth it!

Simple Creamy Broccoli "Cheese" Soup (V, GF)

This particular dish I set out to do a Broccoli “Cheese” Pasta for my baby and family and I had zero time that day as I was teaching all day. I threw everything into the crock pot and let it cook until I go back. Originally I had planned it to cook for about 2-3 hours but it ended up for cooking for more like 4. So what I came home to was virtually a soup at that point. Good news it was SUUUPPPEEER creamy and really tasted like soup!

A few nutrition facts about what I used. I used a chickpea pasta which is here and it is packed and it looks and tastes like pasta if you’ve never tried it! Gluten Free, Vegan, simple ingredients and protein packed (25 G for 4 oz cooked pasta)! 4 Servings in a box and that is pretty much what the total recipe below makes up.

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup (V, GF)

When I set out to make this I had no idea what I was making - as usual! However, the creamy consistency and the flavor is just bursting out of the bowl! I can’t even take it!

All I’ve been craving is soups lately! It’s crazy how fall makes you immediately transition to more earthy and warm foods! Based on Ayurvedic lifestyle I am a Pitta and for fall I should be having seasonal harvested foods like apples and pears for cooling energy.

Easy Maple Walnut Granola with Blueberry Sauce

This is not only simple and you can do it in the crock pot or in the oven. I always prefer the crock pot because its low maintenance for me. However, feel free to use the oven and place on a baking sheet.

I love this combo because I’m always looking for a bit more flavor in my yogurt and I love jam but with the sugar content I’m hesitant to use it so I made this little blueberry syrup as an alternative and all l can say is….. GAME CHANGER! I really added so much to the dish without all the sugar!

Paleo Pumpkin Cheesecake (V,GF)

When I set out for this little experiment I really had no idea what the result would be - like most things I make. However, this one in particular I was hoping and praying as I went along my baking way! A few things about this recipes. Yes, its pumpkin, of course its almost OCTOBER! Second, it contains no gluten, has low glycemic index and can also be vegan. However, this particular recipe I did use eggs so therefore NOT vegan. An easy swap and you can make it vegan by using flax eggs.

One thing about my site is every single recipe is healthy! All of them I use natural sugars if I’m baking and I always use a grain substitute like chickpea flour, tapioca starch, almond flour, coconut flour and etc.

Apple Cinnamon Granola with Comparisons to Store Bought!

I absolutely love making my own granola! I did a presentation last week on healthy snacks on-the-go and I wasn’t surprised at all to see the amount of sugar found in these little healthy gems! This one is actually one of the many reasons why I started making my own because I always got a sugar high and before I knew it polished off an entire bag! This defeats the purpose of granola in the first place!

First, let’s discuss the granola that’s out there. It comes in many forms and you can really buy so many varieties its ridiculous. This is a highly saturated market from gluten free, to paleo, to grain free, to nut free, to really anything you want. Marketing is all about labels and you absolutely have to look at the ingredients and nut trust labels.

Paleo Blueberry Pumpkin Seed Muffins

This recipe was inspired by my favorite coffee shop that serves the most amazing blueberry muffin. I go there a few days a week to work and they have the absolute best cappuccino ever - strong and smooth - and I always get their paleo muffin. Its a perfect blend of light and fluffy, tasty, blueberry filled, a bit of crunch and very filling! I would eat one of these and be satisfied for at least 3-4 hours which if you know me, is quite a feat! So after paying $4 for my favorite muffin several times and carefully studyihg each bite, I decided to give it a try and make it myself!

Gut Healthy Dal with Grain Free "Naan" bread

Ok, you guys I may have made one of the most amazing lentil recipes yet for me and my fam! We're on day 3 now and its a huge hit and SO filling! Usually my husband needs meat in addition to anything vegan I make but this time he's loving it as much as I do! I also paired it with some delicious grain free, naan bread! Ok, so my husband calls them pancakes but they are much more dense and I cut them into quarters and served them with the dal and my, oh my they are fantastic! I consider them a mix taste-wise between corn bread, a pancake, and bread. My husband just says they are pancakes but you be the judge! Either way, they add to the texture, and keep this recipe grain free, dairy free, gluten free, and all the other buzz words. AND they are natural meaning made with REAL FOOD!

Split Pea Soup (V) (GF)

This is one of my favorite recipes and I LOVE making this in the fall to warm my belly. I may have started the process early because I was craving it in August but we had a cool week here in Denver and really put me in the mood for warm soul food.

This recipe is very simple and I love to use my crock pot for this recipe. It makes life easy for me the more I can use my crockpot. I've tried every type of "healthy" vegan split pea soup - normally it comes it with ham - and this one is soooooo incredibly creamy and smooth AND contains NO dairy! How amazing is that?

Cinnamon Nutty Granola ( GF, V,)

This recipe is super simple and you can really make it what you want with whatever ingredients you have on hand at the moment. If you keep the base which is the oats and the honey as the binder you can pretty much throw in anything else you want and it turns out great. I do love a touch of sea salt and cinnamon as well to keep the sweet/savory flavor. However if you want to go all out savory you can add any spice you have in your cabinet. If you want it sweeter sometimes I really love to add mini chocolate chips to change it up if I'm craving chocolate.

Strawberry Lemon Breakfast Bake

This recipe came out of nowhere. I was in the mood for something refreshing like strawberry and lemon combination sounded delightful. I also LOVE bakes so I really wanted to pair something in a form of a bake with these two flavors.

I started looking at a ton of recipes - which I normally do to get inspiration. Then I looked at what ingredients my mom had at her house. I pulled out chia, hemp seeds, bananas, plant protein, oats, honey, coconut oil and she also had some eggs and I picked up fresh strawberries, lemons and eggs. With that I figured I could some up with something so I just started mixing. Meanwhile, my sister decided to sit and watch - with much anticipation I might add as well as some disbelief I could even make this work!

Guilt Free Carrot Cake Bites

One of my favorite cakes ever is carrot cake! I’m not a huge fan of cake but if I’m gonna eat it, its gotta be carrot, or red velvet all the way. I tried this variation to make a cleaner and healthier version of some of my favorites. I happen to love this recipe and it was very fudgy, diary free, gluten free, refined sugar free, vegan and all around wholesome ingredients.

Roasted Garlic Beet Hummus

Now this beet hummus I've made before but there's something about this particular batch that I really enjoy. super savory with a tinge of sweetness at the end. So delicious! I've been putting it on everything from my salads, to my wraps, to just eating it alone with crackers or veggies. Its a great thing to have in the fridge for last minute scavenging for food. At least you know you are eating something that has some nutrients and is heartier than just eating crackers alone or something worse.

Clean Green Protein Muffins

I love creating green muffins as they are a great breakfast or snack on the go packed with nutrients and protein! And I get my dose of greens all at once! On top of that, they taste incredible! Made all natural with only natural sweeteners! Bonus!
