Udi's Gluten-Free Muffins
Udi’s Gluten-free muffins are THE best gluten-free muffins out there! I tried the blueberry and the lemon streusel, and both are super amazing.  And yes, I had both for breakfast this morning. The flavor and texture of the blueberry gluten-free muffin is perfection. There aren’t too many blueberries (which I prefer), and the sprinkling of sugar on top is a tasty addition to the...

Pineapple Blueberry Smoothie (gluten-free recipe)
I whipped up a gluten-free pineapple blueberry smoothie after my pre-work run this morning. I definitely used too much vanilla protein powder making a bit sweeter than I like. The pineapples are sweet enough as it is, I definitely should have known better! Next time I’ll add a little peanut butter (my fav)! So, here’s what you need to make this (note: all measurements are...

Simple Gluten-free Organic Kale Salad (recipe)
I recently discovered Harvest Sensations Organic Kale Salad at my local grocery store. It’s made of organic kale, organic shredded carrots, and organic shredded red cabbage. It comes in a bag that lasts me an entire week of salads and wrap fixings, and costs $4.99.  Why kale? In an attempt to eat healthier, I decided a few months ago to start with organic salads and was eating primarily...

Gluten-free Turkey Cheese Ranch Wrap (recipe)
I love my boyfriend for so many reasons i.e. he makes me a gluten-free sandwich or wrap daily. Since I recently discovered Rudi’s gluten-free tortillas at Costco, I’ve been eating wraps almost daily during the work week which is a refreshing change from the usual sandwich. Today’s wrap included the following gluten-free ingredients: 2 slices Columbus gluten-free turkey (also...

Pepperoni Mushroom Pizza (gluten-free)
On a cold rainy night, I can’t think of anything better than staying in and ordering pizza. One of the best gluten-free pizzas I’ve ever had is from Zpizza. They have a build-your-own option where you can add any of their many choices of gluten-free sauces, cheeses, vegetables, and meats. The gluten-free crust of course is $2 or $3 extra, depending on if you order a medium or large. ...

Pancakes with Cranberry & Ginger Chutney...
Happy Saturday everyone! I love making big breakfasts on the weekends. I’ve been craving pancakes recently so I made some gluten-free pancakes courtesy of the super tasty gluten-free Bisquick mix. I added in some gluten-free oats, and topped with some locally made cranberry and ginger chutney for a little tangy topping.  To make the pancakes all you need is:  1 cup gluten-free Bisquick...

Strawberry Banana Smoothie (gluten-free recipe)
The warmer weather and increased outdoor activity always inspires me to eat healthier. I whipped up a homemade Strawberry Banana Smoothie this morning before work which I wanted to share because it turned out pretty tasty! Like any smoothie recipe, omit/ add in additional ingredients as you wish. Also, I don’t like using ice in my smoothies as I feel it waters it down and makes it too cold...

Edamame Hummus with Roasted Red Pepper & Toasted...
One of my awesome co-workers brought in a surprise today to the office, a package of Eat Well Enjoy Life Edamame Hummus with Roasted Red Pepper & Toasted Sesame with some gluten-free tortilla chips.  Dare I declare, this gluten-free, cholesterol-free, kosher hummus is one of the tastiest I’ve ever had! It has a richer, savorier flavor than it’s plain chickpea counterpart. The...

Marshmallow Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten-free)
I bought an awesome multi-pack of King Arthur Flour gluten-free mixes from GlutenFreeSaver.com a few weeks ago. Last night, I decided to surprise my fiancé with a batch of cookies! The King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free Cookie Mix is basically a cookie base where you add in 1-3 cups of whatever you want (if you want to!). I had some mini-marshmallows and chocolate chips (my fav) in the pantry, so...
