Ghormeh Sabzi is a traditional Persian Herb Stew made with various herbs and veggies, beans, stew beef, and dried sour limes. It is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. For the Love of Persian Food My mother was Persian and growing up it was a huge treat when she would cook a traditional Iranian dish because she was pretty westernized and preferred not spending too much time...
So y’all — this spinach artichoke dip is amazing! Dreamy, creamy and clean eatin’ ! It has been so nice to indulge in artichoke dip again and this “healthified” version does not disappoint. Goat Cheese! I am so happy to still love being able to eat goat cheese! I’ve been making so many old favorite comfort foods since we figured out goat milk was okay...
Thank you, Schär Having to eat gluten-free (and dairy-free for awhile) usually meant bypassing some of the most delicious treats. And sometimes you just really miss those old comfort food classics. Lately, we have been trying a bunch of Schär gluten-free products and are just blown away. We found this puff pastry dough at Central Market. They also have the best table crackers and artisan...
Trying Something New I was sent a few types of products from D’Vash Organics to try. They sent me a date nectar, date syrup, sweet potato nectar, and this cayenne date nectar. It is gluten-free, vegan, paleo, organic and non-GMO. The only thing that they asked in return was an Instagram story share. Which I did. But I really liked these products so I wanted...
Chocolate Sweet Potato Brownies I love brownies! I don’t have a sweet tooth but I do love a chewy gooey brownie. And why not healthify them and make chocolate sweet potato brownies. Like we healthified the chocolate zucchini muffins and oat flour carrot cake muffins. These chocolate sweet potato brownies are delicious, nutritious and allergy friendly. I’ve made them allergy friendly by making them eggless,...

These awesome gluten-free jalapeño poppers are stuffed with goat milk cream cheese, Alaskan King crab, and fresh chives then topped with a crushed cereal and goat butter mixture. I don’t eat seafood often, but every now and then I get a craving for lobster or Alaskan King crab. Especially, when Brett orders crab rangoons when we pick up Chinese take-out. But they aren’t gluten-free. So...
Getting Creative with Kale & Balsamic Vinegar For Christmas one year, we received a basket full of balsamic vinegars and infused olive oils (they were all gluten-free) from Con’ Olio Oils & Vinegar located here in Austin. I was so excited because I just love salads! And we’ve had a great time experimenting with kale and pairing the various vinegars with the different types of fruit,...
Oh it is cold and rainy here in Austin, which has me craving all kinds of soups and stews. I wanted to update this chicken stew recipe I’ve been making forever with new pictures and a minor adjustment to the recipe. Of course, we cook it with wine and broth and spices. Lots of veggies, too. Some of our other favorite soups and stews...

We try to "healthify” and clean up our favorite comfort foods using organic fresh veggies, lean proteins, healthy grains and lots of spice!
