Have you ever made muffins in a blender? If not you need to start because it makes gluten and grain-free baking much easier. Gluten is the binding agent that can either make pastries/bread soft or tough when over-mixed. Since we don’t use gluten in this recipe (or any of our recipes) we can easily throw the batter into the food processor and blend away. This recipe is great anytime of the year, but how fun would it be to prepare these muffins Easter morning? Either way, you and your loved ones are going to devour them. Be sure to pay close attention to the recipe because I'm dropping hacks an ..read more

Without further ado, here is my sassy cranberry apple ginger sauce with tangerine zest.   TIME: 30 MINUTES  YIELDS: 8-10 SERVINGS  Ingredients  I (12 ounce package) fresh cranberries 4 red delicious apples, peeled and diced 1 piece of ginger ..read more

Friends! Lately, I’ve been going through the blog and recreating old recipes using different ingredients. I wrote this recipe two years ago to the date! The original dish features shrimp, but I couldn’t help but fall in love with this version so much that I had to share it with you. I hope you love it as much as I do. Quick note: This recipe calls for jalapenos, so be sure to use gloves while handling the peppers. Otherwise, your fingers will burn. No joke! Also, I used an entire jalapeno in this recipe, seeds included! Jalapenos lose 50% of their heat index after they cook. If you want a dec ..read more

I created this delicious dish over a year ago and posted the recipe on Instagram. It was such a hit that I finally decided to put it on the blog! This recipe is very popular and has received rave reviews! A few of my personal friends have continued to regularly make this dish for themselves or their families. My teenager loves it and he is the pickiest eater on the planet! I love this recipe because all of the ingredients cook on one pan. The best thing about sheet-pan dinners is that once the dish goes in the oven, all you have to do is set a timer and let it cook. It gives you an opportunit ..read more

Ok, Sassy fam! This is a FABULOUS summer dish if I do say so myself! It's light, fresh, flavorful, and leaves you feeling super satisfied without feeling super heavy! My sassy shrimp & avocado pasta salad is bursting with flavors and nutrients. We use Banza Rotini Chick Pea Pasta for this recipe because it has twice the amount of protein, three times the amount of fiber, and 30% fewer net carbs than traditional bleached flour pasta you get from the store. Out of all the gluten-free pasta on the shelves, Banza has AMAZING texture, flavor, and never turns mushy when cooked correctly. Frien ..read more

Hello Team! Welcome back to my vlog/blog series of "Eating Clean on Quarantine!" If you need a reference to this recipe, you can click on the link below to head over to my YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaVzNqXc4ZA Alright! Who loves curry? Who loves beef? Who loves both of them together at the same time?! To be honest, I never would've paired ground beef with curry dishes. I can't help but immediately associate ground beef with burger patties and spaghetti sauce, but was I so terribly wrong. Bold and robust ground beef marry exquisitely with coconut and lime! Another winnin ..read more

Hello, my friends! My prologue to this recipe will be kept short and sweet! Oh, citrus and berries! I love you both. The combination of these ingredients is fresh, lovely, and perfect for a bright and sunny day. I've wanted to write a lemon-strawberry dessert recipe for years, but it was never a pressing matter.

Plus, I finally had the time to create it. ‍♀️ Either way, it's done, it's delicious, and it's finally posted on the blog. I can move on with my life. Hooray! As you read this recipe, y ..read more

I have a confession to make. I have been cooking professionally for 15 years, and I take big pride in crafting delicious, nourishing, creative, unforgettable clean-eating culinary experiences for my clients. When it comes to cooking for my family, not so much. It's pretty much the basic version of what I do in my business. Rude, right? Now that we're on quarantine, I'm able to spoil my family with the same type of cooking practices I provide for my clients. My guys finally get to eat gourmet dishes on a regular basis. However, sometimes at the end of the day I just want a quick & satisfyi ..read more
