Gluten Free Pumpkin Banana Bread
Making desserts with ripe bananas is a go-to of mine. Frozen banana treats, banana nice cream, banana smoothies, AND banana bread, of course! Since fall is quickly approaching, I think it’s only appropriate to start pulling out the pumpkin recipes. Yay! The base of this gluten free banana pumpkin bread […]

Wholesome Tuna Patties
Earlier this year, my best friend and I successfully completed the Whole30 challenge [and that is why I now have a serious addiction to La Croix]. Having a Whole30 buddy is something I highly recommend – it definitely helped me stay motivated throughout the 30 days – shoutout to my […]
Italian Skillet Sausage, Peppers + Potatoes
A few years ago my parents discovered this sausage, peppers + [gluten free] pasta dish and it is seriously one of my FAVORITES. So, you may be wondering… why change it up then? Why fix what ain’t broke? Relax, relax… I’m not trying to “fix” the dish [‘cause trust me, […]
Pink Salsa
Salsa, all day every day. A dip for your chips, a filling for your tacos, a dollop for your eggs, a dressing for your salad… ohh, the possibilities! Homemade salsa is probably one of the easiest things you could ever make and probably one of the hardest things to mess […]
