Heal your gut. Heal your life.
I made this boosted Green Smoothie after I made a similar smoothie that was un-boosted (is that even a word)?
It’s Friday, and I have a Low-FODMAP Chunky Monkey Nice Cream recipe that’s going to make you never care about FODMAP ‘scream again.
It’s fitting that I share my Gluten Free Recipe Roundup Six today because recently I received the following private message, “There is a high school girl here that just found out she had Celiacs and is devastated.”
I’m sharing my Sweet and Spicy No-Bake Holiday Nuts recipe with you today because they remind me of a sweet and spicy little 4-year-old Samarah.
Last night, Samarah stood on our bookcase upstairs and repeatedly told me, “I’m not naughty. I told you every time. I’m not naughty.” I told her that Ellie their Elf was watching, and wasn’t sure how he felt about the situation. She insisted. “No. Not naughty.”
Yes. Naughty. But also just totally sweet and spicy.
Now that we have that out of the way, let’s dig in.
I created two no-bake nut recipes for Nutiva a couple years ago.
Both recipes are so delish!
I love a good nut mix, and I think it’s something that is super easy to make as a holiday snack and/or DIY gift.
So I created Sweet and Spicy No-Bake Holiday Nuts. If you love cashews and almonds and snacks like trail mix which give you the perfect sweet and spicy blend, you will love these, too!
{They are gluten, grain, dairy, soy, and egg free. Paleo + Vegan.}

I once created Spicy Sweet Potato Fries for a client. Since then, I have made a couple minor changes to the recipe, and with colder days ahead, changed their title to Comfort Spicy Sweet Potato Fries. Because, yes, friends, that’s what these are – a comfort food.
In my next life, I think I’ll strictly be a food blogger. While writing the Gluten Free Recipe Roundup Five, I realized how much I love cooking, baking, creating, and sharing it all. I don’t get enough time to do it, and so, in my next life, I’ll just stick to 100% food blogger. Mmmmmkay?
People have long wondered how I can go without gluten, this, that or the other. Honestly? It’s not hard. Not today at least.
Ryan and I went out for dinner last night for our 9-year anniversary, and during our conversation about something unrelated to food he said to me, “I feel like you’re seeing this as a lose/lose situation. It’s not. Life is a win/win.” His optimism helps me get through everything, but what he said about that situation is kind of how I feel many look at food – a lose/lose if they aren’t able to eat whatever, whenever, and however they want.
Have to give up gluten, grains, dairy, peanuts, soy, ect.?
It really won’t be so bad.
I promise.
With recipes like the ones below, you’ll see how it can be a win/win…..for flavor, satisfaction, and (obv) healing.
