I adore blintzes. Before I went gluten-free, they would be the first item in a brunch buffet that I would beeline to. Especially if they included lemon, cheese, and blueberries. I’ve long adored my Lemon Ricotta Blueberry Pancakes from Eat What You Love and this new recipe for Dairy-free Cheese Blintz with Lemon Curd and Blueberry has the same bright flavors. To make these incredibly simple to throw together for a last-minute brunch crowd, I make use of a few things I have in my freezer. I keep my grain-free crepes (separated with parchment paper so they don’t stick) stocked nearly all th ..read more

Almond flour is a versatile and popular ingredient in gluten-free and paleo diets. It’s made by grinding blanched almonds into a fine powder. It has a sweet, nutty flavor that works well in both sweet and savory dishes. Baking with almond flour was one of the first things that I experimented with when I shifted my diet and I still get questions about using it all the time. So I wanted to create a deep-dive post to give you more information on what it is and how I use it. Plus, I want to share some of my favorite almond flour recipes with you!  German Chocolate Cake Is almond flour gluten ..read more

I love spaghetti squash. It’s an amazing source of fiber and Vitamin C and once you know how to cut spaghetti squash the right way and prepare it, it’s a game-changing base to use in place of pasta. You also know I love a good hack — anything to make life and the prep and cooking process easier, right? When I shared about how I handle spaghetti squash on Instagram recently, you all went crazy for my tips. So I wanted to do a step-by-step tutorial for perfectly tender (never mushy) spaghetti squash. And if you don’t already have a favorite way to eat spaghetti squash, scroll down for some of my ..read more

As we enter a new year, you may be reevaluating the way you eat. You may be looking for healthier meals that are nutrient-dense but still taste amazing. And like me, you probably strive to feed your family real foods that are free from chemicals, fillers, and additives. But many people believe that eating this way costs them too much time and money. I wrote my latest cookbook, Healthy in a Hurry to bust those myths. I wanted to share some recipes from the book while explaining how you can use it as the perfect resource to help you get (and stat!) on track this year. I wrote Healthy in a ..read more

Paleo BBQ Bacon Burger Bowls with Primal Kitchen Classic BBQ Sauce, Honey Mustard Vinaigrette and Marinade In partnership with our friends at Primal Kitchen Summer may have come to an end but grilling season definitely has not here in California with our weather still being so warm.  My Paleo BBQ Bacon Burger Bowls are still on regular rotation.

The bowl comes toget ..read more

This Dairy-Free Dole Whip is a great way to say “happy official start to summer”! A few weeks ago Ryan and I took the kids to Disneyland to celebrate the end of the school year and the pre-launch of my latest book, Food Saved Me. It was a trip that was originally planned pre-covid, so we were all very excited to finally be there. Disneyland is one of our favorite places, and some of my fondest memories involve this magical theme park – from date nights with Ryan in college, first introducing Asher to the happiest place on earth, and most recently, watching Kezia’s face light up at seeing Micke ..read more

There are few things I love more than sitting around the table with a warm cup of coffee and splash of a dairy-free vanilla coffee creamer as my kids eat breakfast in the morning. It’s my favorite way to start the day. A few weeks ago, I shared some Instagram stories of me making a quick dairy-free vanilla coffee creamer while I was staying at my sister’s house in Denver. I got so many questions about it, and I promised everyone that I would post the recipe after the EWYL tour, so here it is! I loosely went off of the recipe from my first cookbook, Against all Grain, but I wanted to use dates ..read more

Two months ago I published my recipe for Honey Simple Syrup which I frequently use for cocktails and a quick lemonade for my kids. This recipe for Vanilla Honey Simple Syrup is similar to the original recipe, but incorporates fresh vanilla bean! It is perfect when added to a morning cup of coffee for a sweet, vanilla flavor. It also works really well in cocktails or mocktails. (Hint Hint, a recipe for Vanilla-Pineapple Margarita using this Vanilla Honey Syrup will be coming very soon!)
