Sweet Treats
Gluten Free Apple Pie
This Gluten-Free Apple Pie is so delicious. It’s hard to say which is the star of the show: the apple filling perfectly smothered in a sweet layer of cinnamon and nutmeg, or the buttery-like gluten-free pie crust. It’s a match made in heaven! From reader Shataia W.: “I cannot THANK YOU enough for the best…
Gluten & Dairy Free Maple Pumpkin Pie
This Gluten & Dairy Free Maple Pumpkin Pie is a hit at every holiday gathering. Most of our friends are completely surprised it’s entirely refined sugar free, let alone gluten and dairy-free. The first Thanksgiving that I was gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free was interesting. It wasn’t bad by any means, just different. I was…
Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer (Vegan/No Sugar Added)
I normally don’t take creamer in my coffee. Well, at least not anymore. I used to. Up until I changed my diet and couldn’t find the right sort of dairy free creamer substitute. I tried everything from dairy free coffee creamers to canned coconut milk to any and every dairy free milk under the sun….

Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolates (soy & nut free, vegan)
True confession: I used to hate Valentine’s Day. Like seriously disliked it. Every year I’d set unrealistic expectations about the silly holiday and always, always end up disappointed. It wasn’t until after I was married that my ideals and expectations about Valentine’s Day changed. How precious and blessed am I to be loved by a…
Sugar Free & Naturally Sweetened Mango Sorbet
Those of you familiar with my recipes and website might have taken a “double take” when you read the title of this post. Yes, I confess, this is an old recipe of mine, but I decided to re-publish it for a very good reason. Many of you said that you love my recipes, but get…
Gluten Free Pecan Pie Cookies
A subtly sweet shortbread topped with pecan pie filling… does it get any better? When I was little, my mom made sure we had pecan pie every holiday; it was my dad’s favorite.

Toll House Style Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten free, dairy free, soy free)
As of lately, it is very rare for me to eat a really sweet indulgent treat. Don’t get me wrong, anyone who knows me well knows I love sweets, but I normally prefer ones that have been made healthier in some way (lower in sugar, lower in fat, etc.). Not this time. In a moment…
Orange Creamsicle Popsicles (dairy free, Paleo & GAPS friendly)
When I was little, I remember my mom making popsicles very similiar to these, but she used orange juice concentrate and cane sugar instead of pure unsweetened orange juice and honey/stevia. In any case, I loved the popsicles she made for my brother and I, and wanted to recreate them for my girls, just with…

Abbi’s Grain Free Toddler Bites (vegan)
Prior to becoming gluten and corn free, my Abbi used to be a very picky eater (she still can be at times – she is definitely a toddler!). Though throughout all of her picky stages, one food has always remained a constant favorite: raw almonds. If I couldn’t get Abbi to eat anything on her…
Homemade Sugar Free Chocolate Bars
Many of you who follow my Facebook page know I began a 10 day sugar free challenge today in the hopes of getting my current arthritis/psoriasis flare under control. For the next 10 days I’ll ONLY use stevia as a sweetener (I’m even giving up agave nectar, maple syrup, honey, and coconut sugar). BUT… what…

Stevia Sweetened Chocolate Chip Cookies… grain & gum free
I did something I don’t normally do today. I told my girls they could eat as many chocolate chip cookies as they wanted to for a snack. 😉 You should have seen the looks on their sweet faces! They were so happy! I do not use store bought almond flour in this recipe (which is…
