Breakfast

Baked Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray your baking dish with a non-stick spray. Toast pecans on a baking sheet for 4-6 minutes until fragrant. In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, milk, eggs, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Blend in oats, toasted pecans, cinnamon, ginger, all-spice, salt, and baking powder….

Zucchini Noodles with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

This is the perfect warm weather ‘pasta’ recipe! The simple sauce is sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, basil, and garlic. I served mine over zoodles (zucchini noodles), but you can also use traditional pasta. Bonus: the sauce doesn’t even require cooking…just blend, toss, and serve! If you are using traditional pasta, cook according to package instructions….

They’re gluten-free, low carb, super-cheesy, and perfect for dipping in tomato soup! This recipe makes two cheese stick “pizzas.” You can easily halve it to make one. Here are your ingredients: Roughly…

“Nice Cream” is one of my favorite treats and it is super simple to make!! You just blend frozen bananas in your food processor or blender, and it makes a soft-serve ice cream or “nice cream!” Bonus: its dairy-free and gluten-free and I was really surprised by how much it tastes like real ice cream. Add…

Simple Lemon Grilled Asparagus

This is an easy and delicious way to grill asparagus. Just marinade it in a plastic bag and grill. I love the extra touch of grilling the lemon to drizzle over the top. Place the asparagus in a large ziploc bag and add lemon juice, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper. Seal the bag and distribute the…

Breakfast

No-Bake Energy Bites

Add all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Stir until completely combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Once chilled, roll into balls of whatever size you prefer. I used a 1-inch cookie dough scoop for mine. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator…although we…
