The holidays & Christmastime generally is just an explosion of baked goods. So much about the celebrations has to do with sweets. Thinking back to my childhood, we were always surrounded by cookies, chocolates, panettone, and ricotta cakes. But- SO many kinds of cookies. An absurd amount, although an enormous amount of joy comes with … Continue reading GF Vegan Snowball Cookies

He learned the spray, stay, sashay for cologne, and I learned about how to cut grapefruit segments in the easiest & prettiest way (I'll explain later). After that I have been thinking about ways to use … Continue reading Grapefruit, Fennel, & Radish Salad
In college, I had a love-hate relationship with our dining halls. Some things I loved, and some things I could not be convinced to eat. As I moved dorms, options got better. One of the things I looked forward to was their Swedish Meatballs. As an Italian, this was not something I had at home … Continue reading Swedish Meatballs – gf/df
Guys, these past few weeks have been rough. I've been focused on healing my body and getting help from my gastroenterologist for pancreatitis. It's still a work in progress, but woah, we have come far already. Following excruciating pains after eating for days in a row I made an appointment with my doctor. A few … Continue reading Turmeric Turkey Quinoa Meatballs
Stuffed peppers is a delicious comfort food that always looks amazing. There are just a few too many steps for me on a work night. I used to meal prep them and we would eat them throughout the week. Oh, how cute they looked in their little pepper shells. But it wasn't that easy to … Continue reading Unstuffed Peppers
