Gluten-Free Dutch Baby with Vanilla and Pear
These days, “gluten-free” is one of the slyest healthy eating loopholes around.

Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Cookies with Buckwheat and Sea Salt
The holiday season breeds FOMO like a virus. And the condition worsens if you happen to also catch an actual virus, forcing you to leave your friend’s holiday party early or not attend at all.

Maple-Pecan Gluten-Free Banana Bread Recipe
My mother was the OG of crunchy health food. Before a little supermarket chain out of Austin made niche ingredients like millet mainstream, she was feeding me bowls of it in place of Easy Mac.

Vegan Black Sesame Milkshakes
My sweet tooth wasn’t fully eradicated by the vice detox during the dark, sugar-free days of 2015.

Dark Chocolate Vegan Truffles with Matcha Green Tea
Earlier this week, I opened up about why I hope cupid will lay off the steak this year and bring me some pink-themed Omega-3 fatty acids on my plate instead.

The Best Whole Grain Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Vegan Strawberry Banana Ice Cream with Peanut Butter “Fudge” Sauce
I spent a few post-college years convinced that I was lactose intolerant.

Healthy Banana Pudding with Maple-Rum Compote
Feed Me Phoebe turns 3 this week!! It’s always such a trip to look back over old posts and peer into my mindset from one year ago.

Dark Chocolate Beauty Bark with Chia Seeds, Pepitas, and Goji Berries

Giant Chewy Ginger Cookies
I recently came out with some confessions from my childhood. Mainly about my status as a horse nerd, who went to a camp that specialized in such dorky, horsey pursuits.

Gluten-Free Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chips
I turn twenty-nine this weekend, a little fact that I’ve been less than excited to celebrate. Some birthday years bring on the blues more than others.
