All in Food
Leaning into spring with this Super Simple Strawberry Chocolate Ganache Tart! Just as the name would suggest...it really is SO simple. Made using almond flour, coconut, coconut milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, chocolate chips, and strawberries, this recipe requires pretty minimal ingredients, and they’re all vegan and paleo friendly.
Throwing it back to the childhood days with these Healthy Popcorn Chicken Bowls! Inspired by those school lunches and KFC bowls filled with mashed potatoes and topped with crispy fried chicken, corn, and gravy. Please tell me I’m not the only one who loved those as a kid? Well, this is a much healthier version of those bowls, and if I’m being honest, a tastier version too!
Spicing up your Tuesday with these Fluffy Turmeric Chocolate Chunk Cookies! These are so incredibly fluffy and delicious. Almost like a golden latte in cookie form. The turmeric adds a fun and tasty twist on your classic chocolate chip cookies; I’m telling you, you’ll love them!
Air Fried Falafel with Lemon Tahini Dressing is on the menu for this week! This falafel recipe is a little untraditional in the sense that it uses canned chickpeas rather than dry, but I really wanted to create a super quick and simple recipe that anyone can whip up on the fly. The falafel mixture is filled with fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, and dill, as well as spices such as cumin and coriander to make some seriously flavorful bites.
These Fudgy Tahini Brownies are going to give you life. A little crispy on the edges, and so ooey and gooey in the middle, these brownies are a chocolate lovers dream come true. Together with the melted chocolate and coconut oil, the tahini keeps the brownies so moist and the perfect amount of chewy. Not to mention they’re dairy free and sweetened using only the chocolate chunks and coconut sugar. A little bit of instant coffee really brings out the chocolate flavor the best way.
Sunday’s call for Dad’s Paleo Pressure Cooker Beef Stew! Parsnips are swapped in to replace potatoes (you really can’t tell the difference) and tapioca and cassava flours are used instead of regular flour that’s typically used in standard beef stew recipes. The secret ingredient, that I think makes this stew so flavorful, is actually quite surprising: onion soup mix! It’s used in the place of broth, and it really kicks things up a notch.
Manifesting warmer weather with these Grapefruit Glazed Donuts. Baked, not fried, and made using gluten free flour, almond flour, and coconut sugar, they’re on the healthier side. The glaze is made with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice and zest, and is so sweet and tangy. These donuts are bursting with grapefruit-y flavors, and they’re just so light and delicious. A perfect treat for the upcoming spring days!
These Teriyaki Turkey Burgers with Grilled Pineapple are going to elevate your burger game. The burgers are juicy and tender, the sweetness from the pineapple compliments the flavorings in the burger oh so well, and the slight spicy kick from the Sweet Chili Aioli pulls it all together.
Peanut Butter Protein Blender Pancakes coming in hot! Packed with protein and chock-full of healthy fiber from oats and flaxseed, these pancakes are perfect for an after workout meal, or as a sneaky way to start your day off with a well balanced plate.
Here’s a Raspberry Pistachio Yogurt Loaf Cake for your weekend baking adventures! The yogurt and olive oil keep the loaf so incredibly moist and soft inside, while the sprinkle of sugar and pistachios on top add the perfect amount of crunch. The raspberries complement the pistachios and balance out the sweetness with just a little bit of tangy tartness.
