I have a new, fun video up for my Turkey Sausage recipe. As a kid, my favorite pizza was topped with Italian sausage, so I recreated it by using ground turkey in place of pork.

I hope you give the video a watch, and (if you like it) a thumbs up. It helps other people on Youtube find me and my recipes. :-)

If you're interested in natural skincare, I'm writing about it over on Substack! This post is about chemical peels, which I've been doing for years. They can be helpful for both acne and aging skin. Give the post a read, if you like!

We've been making this gluten-free muffin recipe for years, varying what kind of add-in we use. Sometimes, it's berries, sometimes chocolate chips!

Thanks in advance! 🙂

My first daughter, Jade, has inspired many of the recipes on my blog. She came out of the womb itching, so I've had to adjust and create various alternatives for her over the years.

One of her favorite allergy-friendly foods is Sunbutter, which is paired with cocoa in this delicious Chocolate Sunbutter Smoothie recipe.

Have you all tried the cottage cheese ice cream trend yet? It's basically where you blend cottage cheese with a sweetener and freeze it.

Well, this recipe takes that to a new level by adding in peanut butter, cocoa powder, and a splash of milk to create a frosty! It's absolutely delicious, and we made one today, so it reminded me to share it here.

If you're anything like me, you loved those Girl Scout cookie thin mints at some point in your life!

Because of the sugar and gluten and other nasties in the original recipe, I've remade them with chickpea flour, and they're just as tasty (in my opinion)!

Give the recipe a try this weekend and let me know what you think (recipe in comments)! 🍪🍪

Have you all tried black bean brownies? They're actually really good, and they are higher in protein, which helps balance the blood sugar.

This is my FAVORITE recipe to make for bean skeptics because they're so fudgy and delicious!

I love mug cakes! Without a special occasion, I'm not a fan of making large, decorative cakes, so mug cakes are perfect for me.

This one is made without any oil or butter, and it's low in sugar! There's even some fiber and protein hiding in there, thanks to the oats and Greek yogurt.

We love a warm bowl of oatmeal in the morning! It's such a delicious and energizing way to begin a day.

It's so fun for the kids to add in their favorite toppings. Miki and Sam love cinnamon and raisins, while the older girls are fond of blueberries and vanilla.

This recipe is our favorite way to make it, and it comes together in about 10 minutes. Give it a try sometime! Recipe in comments. 🥰

Did you know that despite the 'wheat' part of 'buckwheat', it's actually a fruit seed?

There are two (major) varieties of buckwheat that people bake with in America. Dark and light. The dark has a deeper flavor that isn't appreciated by some, while the light is favored more for its less intense flavor. The light is typically what I use in my recipes. You can also buy buckwheat groats and grind them into flour, which is, again, what I like to do. This ensures a fresher flour!

If you're interested in buckwheat, you might enjoy these Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Muffins! They're a great way to get a taste of the delicious flour!

My mom taught me this recipe, which combines guacamole and cottage cheese. She had it at an office party in the 70s and immediately asked for the recipe because she loved it so much!

As a kid, she made it for me, and I loved it, so I decided to put it on the blog.

It's a great twist on classic guac, and the addition of cottage cheese adds more protein. My family goes crazy for this, and whenever I make guacamole, the kids tell me to add cottage cheese.

I hope you like it if you try it! Recipe in the comments. 👇
