Hi all,
Happy winter months. It’s the ideal time for all things 1. easy to whip up and 2. cozy and delicious. This quinoa bowl will do just the trick. It can be made in less than a half an hour, it tastes awesome, it’s grain-free, gluten-free, and sugar-free, with a small amount of dairy in the pesto (assuming you use regular pesto, which has cheese in it).
Make extra so you have a totally tasty lunch for work tomorrow too!

Hi all,
Happy healthy eating, with the upcoming warm weather, as well as in celebration of health in general, regardless of temperature or time of year! This one is homey, cheesy, delicious, and yet, it’s without any grains or gluten. It’s to-die-for-delicious though. Skeptical? Try it yourself. We make this one almost every week, it’s that good. It may just become a staple in your home too!
This umami inducing, oh-so-scrumptious and satisfying, totally-hits-the-spot entree is one on which you will soon be hooked. It’s also incredibly healthy, made with a base of quinoa (gluten/grain-free, as this is actually a seed), scallions, red cabbage, marinated tempeh, and then though not pictured, I recommend it topped with a fried egg. SO good, a cinch to make, and with flavors that pack a punch.
Tacos are one of the best dishes on the planet. However, in consuming a diet largely void of grains/wheat/bread, this makes continuing my love affair with said hand held treat a tough one. However, to my relief and thrill, I found the most delicious recipe. Granted, these are more toastados than taco, but man oh man, are they tasty. Totally on par with and hitting the taco spot, though without the bad-for-your-body ingredients.
Grain/gluten free, lactose free, sugar free, these are a homey, scrumptious meal that is also awesome for your health!

Hi all,
With the downturn in temperatures and thus, increase of incidence towards hustling indoors, this quinoa bowl hits the spot. Comforting, homey, and oh so yum. Tasting subtly nutty and grainy, though of course, its made without grains at all (as quinoa is actually a seed). The combination of egg and pesto, causing an explosion of umami like flavor in ones mouth. The tomatoes adding a bright, juicy pop to the entrée.
Its super easy to make, one of the best parts. So less time in the kitchen spent on these long since dark nights on returning home from work. Leaving more space for tea, reading, or watching something and cozying up.
This dish is gluten free, lactose free (save for the negligible amount in the pesto), and sugar free. Cooked quinoa and eggs aside, its raw.
On whipping this one up for dinner, Maxx and I were skeptical. Oh how thankfully wrong we were though. This is, hands down, one of the best lasagnas Ive tasted. And the jaw dropping part? Its without noodles/wheat/grain (aka no gluten), with sweet potatoes in place of these, as well as without dairy (crushed almonds and nutritional yeast forming a cheese-like spread instead). There is ground turkey in the dish, so its not vegan. But its grain/gluten free, and dairy free. Low in fat, and SO homey and delicious.
Though this dish is vivid and eye catching, it also looks simple. Possibly even suggesting it being low in flavor. In fact, its quite the opposite. Loaded with “super foods,” easy to make, and packed with layered taste, this is a light and totally tasty dinner worth giving a try. I was shocked by the satisfying seasoning and flavors of everything together.
Without further ado, how to make this delectable dish:
This dinner entrée is super delish, loaded with great-for-your-body ingredients, easy to make, and pretty to boot. Will you look at those vibrant jewel tones? Love it.
So, what makes this dish so dang good for you?
Its loaded with the following items…
Kale– one of THE best vegetables for your body, period.
Onions– Another top contender for mucho health benefits offered whenever eating this pungent vegetable. Anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous, helping to combat and lessen incidence of all manner of diseases.
Scallions-With many of the same benefits of onions.
Cranberries– loaded with antioxidants, helps lower risk of urinary tract infections, also anti-cancerous, they improve immune functioning, and decrease blood pressure. (Side note: be careful though when choosing dried cranberries. Often, these are LOADED with added sugar. Best to try and get some with little to no added sugar).
Quinoa-gluten free, its not a grain but a seed. Eaten for thousands of years in South America, only now is it garnering loads of hype here in the US. Its loaded with 11 essential nutrients, is high in fiber, has a low glycemic index which is great for blood sugar control, and high in antioxidants. You can read more about Quinoa here.
Pesto– it just tastes awesome 😀
Optional though surely delicious additional add-ons to this Quinoa bowl: baked salmon or chicken, shrimp, avocado, sliced bell pepper, broccoli, potentially black beans or kidney beans.
With all of that said, here is how to make this ultra healthy, super tasty entrée:
Hi all,
Why are so many of us (a vast majority of citizens, with the number continuing to climb) overweight? Perpetually lethargic? Despite dieting and maybe losing some weight temporarily, continuing to gain it all back and then some? According to a lot of compelling research, the reason is because there is a major mismatch between our genes and the lives we lead today.
