Red Lentil and Wild Rice Soup Updated for this wonderful cold weather: December 14, 2020. I was so excited about how this red lentil and wild rice soup turned out! You know we’ve been trying to eat more dietary fiber to improve gut health with prebiotics (foods that feed our gut microbiota). Especially more lentils. And this soup is packed full of dietary fiber!...

Teriyaki Chicken Salad This teriyaki chicken salad is amazing! Well you know by now, I love a salad piled high with lots of different veggies, colors and textures (roasted, steamed, raw…). Add a little protein (usually my husband and I will split a chicken breast between the salads) and perfection! But this is fun because we take one of favorite flavor profiles – Teriyaki chicken...
Thai Beef Salad Thai beef salad is such a delicious dinner full of flavor and fresh ingredients like ginger and garlic. We make this using gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos and Thai red curry paste. All of the other ingredients should be naturally gluten and casein/dairy free. You could always cook up some rice vermicelli noodles to add to it and create a rice noodle...

Restaurant Style Tex-Mex Rice I love Tex-Mex (a fusion of American and Mexican cuisine). It is hard to grow up in Texas and not love it. And we have a lot of incredible Tex-Mex restaurants here in Austin that we frequent on the regular. I mean what is not to love about enchiladas, tacos, chips and queso, guacamole, salsas, beans and rice. And there...
These copy cat Samoas cookies are super simple to make and they are dairy-free and gluten-free! We use organic dark chocolate, toasted coconut, and pre-made gluten-free cookies. The caramel is made with date syrup, coconut milk creamer, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. I’m surprised by how good they turned out to be honest. Girl Scout Cookies Don’t we all love the annual Girl Scout...
