My Stomach Hates Me

‼️Apple cinnamon oatmeal bars - still working on this recipe but it's very CLEAN, no sugar, gluten free, dairy free, and freezer friendly! Looking forward to perfecting this one🤤

Here. You look like you need this😉

Recipe on the blog. Enjoy!

🥗Salads are a love language.
Spring mix + romaine + matchstick carrots: always my base
Shrimp + edamame + green goddess +

🍲Does anyone actually use a chili recipe or do you also throw whatever TF you want in until it tastes delicious 🙋🏻‍♀️
Also, Good Foods brand plant based queso from Costco is my new topping for EVERYTHING.

😍We call this breakfast: Christmas celebrations are finally over, time to use up the leftovers🤣
Eggs + chicken breast + turkey + avocado + Costco's plant based queso + Cholula.
Hubs got eggs + pork tenderloin + turkey + cheese.
Now: time to relax and enjoy the fact that we have NOTHING on the calendar for awhile.
Have a fantastic Sunday!

‼️Do you miss gooooood sauces being gluten and dairy free? Especially RANCH.

Luckily, there are so many new options.

I swear I buy every new one I find to test it out and a good portion of them just suck.

This buffalo ranch does not suck 😍

We always have a stand up freezer full of meat (thanks to my hunting family) and I'm just not a fan of steak sauce.

I grabbed a buffalo ranch ( Sir Kensington's brand) yesterday and I can say with certainty that I'll be topping everything with it in the foreseeable future.

Gluten free. Dairy free.

I need sauces on eeeeeverything. It's a running joke in my family because I put random sauces on things you wouldn't think need it. This one is now at the top of my fav list!

Up next: putting it on my daily salad😍

Have you tried it? Love? Hate? What other sauces (include brand) do you love?

✨A MUST for Christmas this year and perfect to add to your baking list if you give out cookies platters!

1 3/4 cup gluten free 1:1 flour (I used and YES - it makes a difference, big time in gluten free baking)

1 stick butter, @ room temp
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1/3 cup cherry jam or preserve
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon red liquid food coloring
1/2 cup dairy free mini chocolate chips (or chop up chocolate chunks)
1/3 cup dried cherries, roughly chopped
1/2 cup powdered sugar
🍒Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
🍒In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
🍒Beat in egg and combine.
🍒Add jam, almond, vanilla, and food coloring. Beat until combined.
🍒Bring speed down to low and slowly add flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
🍒Stir in chocolate and cherries with a spoon.

‼️Need something SIMPLE after the holiday weekend? There should be ZERO guilt in indulging, but it feels good to give my stomach a break.

Lettuce + chicken breast + rice/quinoa mix + shredded carrots + Caesar dressing

So good. Happy stomach.

🦃A very happy start to the holidays!! I hope you had a FANTASTIC Thanksgiving.

Side note - turkey on the Green Egg. You MUST try if you have the chance.

No dry white meat in this house🙌

🍴🥗 I posted this picture on my stories the other day and got a kick out of how many messages I got for the recipe.

It's just a thrown together salad based on the one I get at all the time, with a few substitutes depending on what I had on hand.
..and I probably have it 4x/week😍

SO! Here it is:

Chicken breast
Rice/quinoa mix
Hot sauce
Mashed avocado
Spring mix + spinach
Shredded carrots
Brussel sprouts + asparagus (popped in the mic to soften then quickly browned to crisp in a pan on high)

Other things I use in these bowls:
Hummus
Shredded cabbage
Shredded brussel sprouts raw
Sunflower seeds
Croutons
Roasted sweet potato
Roasted cauliflower
Dairy free ranch

A million ways to spin it and it's so easy to use up whatever you have!

The basics are:

Protein + grains + roasted veg + greens + sauce

Bona petit🤩

‼️A gluten free, dairy free, seafood lover's dream come true😍

We took my step dad to Beer and Fish Company for his birthday last night and it's SO NICE to go out to eat and know you'll have plenty of options.

This seafood platter is insane. So much food!

Oysters, king crab, lobster tail, and jumbo shrimp!

We already loved this place, we'll definitely be back for this!

...because sometimes you just need a big bowl of mac & cheese😍

I never sugar coat it and describe dairy free cheese as "just like the real thing" but really hits the nail on the head with all their mac & cheese flavors.

What's your favorite brand of dairy free cheese and/or mac & cheese?
