Coconut milk tapioca pudding (with fruit purée)
It’s been a wild week here in Texas—some were without power, some lost water to their homes, some are still boiling water before they drink it. We were fortunate to have no major issues, other than being cold and having limited access to groceries. We had enough food in the house to make it, but…

Gluten-free scones with cinnamon and brown sugar filling
It’s rare that I come up with a recipe in the pastry or bread category that comes out perfect the first time. Now, this is a pretty basic scone recipe, but I altered the ratios of butter, cream and yogurt and played with the spices and extracts for a flavor I knew I’d love. These…

Easy and healthy Asian-inspired chicken
We love getting takeout from a local Chinese restaurant, but occasionally we want the flavors without the unhealthy stuff sometimes added by restaurants. This dish is an easy take on the flavors we love and is just as nice served in a lettuce cup as it is alongside rice. Ingredients: One onion, finely chopped Two…

Gluten free mascarpone muffins with dark chocolate
Something about Sunday morning just screams “muffins” around here. The kids always need a project and, well, we all love muffins. I’ve been craving something with mascarpone in it and there was a bag of dark chocolate chunks in the pantry calling my name, and so these muffins were born. Next time I try it…

Blood orange vinaigrette
Sometimes lunch needs to be simple but leftovers are scarce and sandwiches are boring! This dressing (which is really kind of a salsa-dressing combo) really amps up an easy salad. Ingredients (to dress and top two salads) One blood orange, peeled and diced Two tablespoons avocado oil Two tablespoons white wine vinegar One jalapeño, seeds…

Gluten free carrot cake with chocolate chips
This week my six-year-old told me that carrot cake is her “favorite way to eat carrots,” so of course I had to make one (I also had an abnormally large bag of carrots that needed to be used). I wanted it to be a little healthier than your typical cake, but I didn’t want to…

White chicken chili topped sweet potato
There are many white chicken chili recipes out there, and yet somehow I’ve never made it until this week. I decided to use this version as a sweet potato topping, but it would be good on its own or rolled into a tortilla as a taco or enchilada. Ingredients (makes six servings): Six boneless skinless…

The easiest and fastest chicken noodle soup
Yesterday was a work from home day like all the rest, except the kids were out of school for a holiday. I, of course, forgot about this holiday and wasn’t prepared to serve them lunch. It was a little cold and windy, so a quick soup sounded good. This recipe is versatile — you can…

Collagen mocha (aka grown-up hot chocolate)
It’s snowing here, and on days like today you just want a good hot drink without having to venture out. My kids got their Swiss Miss fix this morning and I was a little jealous, but didn’t want all the sugar, so I put together a caffeinated hot chocolate for myself. This one is nourishing…

Sweet roasted Brussels sprouts
This side dish really goes with anything, but the last time I made it I accidentally discovered that it is the.best.chili.topping.period. I already think there is little better in the food world than a super crisp, almost burned Brussels sprout, but when you add them to the chili it created a whole new texture and…
