Kale Salad

…à la Shawn I’ve tried a few kale salads in my life, but none quite as good as my Dad’s. He likes to cook (and eat) just as much as I do, and many of the recipes I make are adaptions of things he cooked growing up. His kale salad may be his most proudestContinue reading “Kale Salad”

Chickpea Tahini Cookies

Free from: milk, eggs, soy, nuts, and gluten Okay, I have to be honest, I got this recipe from my sister. She really wanted to make a healthy-dessert snack that she could take on the go, and this is what she came up with! My family went on a hiking trip last month, and IContinue reading “Chickpea Tahini Cookies”

Leftovers -> Tacos

I have a habit of finding leftovers in the refrigerator, mixing them with a few other items, and then transforming them into something completely new. Well, maybe its less of a “habit” and more of a skill. This past week, we had boneless chicken thighs, an open container of spinach and some washed kale allContinue reading “Leftovers -> Tacos”

Overnight Oats

Free of dairy, peanuts, treenuts, soy, and coconut I was skeptical of overnight oatmeal as it was becoming more popular! I really like my warm oatmeal that I make every morning and get to put the frozen berries. Lately though, it’s been warmer out and so having something refreshing in the morning, ready-to-go has beenContinue reading “Overnight Oats”

Crispy Apple Chips

It’s been awhile since I have posted! Finals season really had me occupied, but even if I wasn’t posting, I was still busy cooking. A few months ago, my Nana sent me an email with recipe she had saved for apple chips. She said they were delicious and I had to try them, with justContinue reading “Crispy Apple Chips”

Raspberry Jam Bars

Free from milk, eggs, peanuts, treenuts, soy, and coconut These raspberry jam bars are my absolute, biggest guilty-pleasure dessert! They are so addicting — I can never just have one. I use to make these to bring to my high school’s Dessert Theater productions, where all cast members were required to bring a dessert toContinue reading “Raspberry Jam Bars”

Chicken With Cauliflower Rice

Making the most out of frozen foods. Using fresh ingredients is always preferred, but unfortunately that isn’t always available to me. Especially with the current situation, having a storage of frozen vegetables and meat can be really useful when you know you won’t be able to get to the store in quite some time. AllContinue reading “Chicken With Cauliflower Rice”

Green Immunity Juice

Okay! So this is a very important post, especially for right now, but in general it’s a great remedy to learn whenever you’re feeling under the weather. When I am having a busy week and I know I am feeling run down, I often rely on this smoothie to provide me with all the micronutrientsContinue reading “Green Immunity Juice”

Nana’s Chicken

Free of dairy, peanuts, treenuts, soy, coconut, eggs, and gluten This recipe is a tribute to my Nana, who somehow manages to make the simplest of meals taste unbelievable. She made this chicken thighs recipe for us once, and even though I was initially hoping to have steak, after taking a bite, I completely forgotContinue reading “Nana’s Chicken”

Kale & Broccoli Pesto

Free of dairy, peanuts, treenuts, soy, eggs, coconut, and gluten Pesto traditionally has pine nuts and cheese in it, making it unsafe for anyone with a nut or dairy allergy. I had only heard good things about pesto though, so I wanted to try it for myself. Looking into a few other recipes that removedContinue reading “Kale & Broccoli Pesto”
