Who loves pecan pie? I certainly do, and even more when maple is used. I’m sharing a decadent (and yet good-for-you) freezer fudge over at The Balanced Platter today that is reminiscent of pecan pie, but without the tons of sugar and corn syrup. It’s the perfect little bite of heaven anytime you’re interested in treating yourself without the guilt. Head on over to The Balanced Platter and check it out!
Holidays are generally the worst when it comes to sticking with healthy eats, what with all the party food and treats. But what if we could all incorporate healthier foods instead of the same ol’ holiday fare?
Well, that’s exactly what Cara of Cara’s Cravings was thinking, and is the reason behind this year’s Clean Eating Cocktail Party!
Today I’m sharing a healthier gluten-free, dairy-free version of a holiday favorite – Swedish Meatballs! Head on over to Cara’s Cravings and check them out – and while you’re there, browse around at all of the other Cocktail Party recipes for some delicious holiday inspiration!
When it gets cooler, I start to crave cooler-weather vegetables. Usually that means pumpkin and winter squashes, but brussels sprouts are also on that list. It might sound somewhat odd, but they remind me of Thanksgiving. It seems as though often someone brings brussels sprouts for Thanksgiving dinner, and while they’re often looked over, as people tend to gravitate towards the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pie, I love them. When I found a nice healthy stalk at our brand-new Trader Joe’s and knew I just had to have them.
During the week, I tend to take a minimalist approach to vegetables. They’re often simply steamed, with a sprinkling of salt and pepper. But this time, I wanted a little more. With minimal additional effort – some proscuitto, dijon mustard and a touch of honey - these brussel sprouts were transformed into a comforting, satisfying little side dish that still retained its freshness and vibrancy. And honestly, with proscuitto, dijon, and honey, how can you go wrong?
And I can’t promise anything, but telling your brussels sprouts-hating husband/wife/kids that there is proscuitto in here might just change their mind!
Print RecipeDijon Brussels Sprouts with Proscuitto (gluten-free, dairy-free)
1 stalk brussels sprouts (or about 4-5 cups worth)
1 t olive oil
1/2 oz proscuitto, chopped
1 T dijon mustard
1 t honey
salt and pepper to taste
Place the brussels sprouts in a pot fitted with a steamer insert (or in a steamer basket) and steam until bright green and just tender enough to be pierced by a fork, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Empty the pot and dry it out (or get another medium saucepan or skillet) and add oil. Heat over medium heat and add proscuitto. Cook proscuitto, stirring, for a minute or two or until crispy. Add back the brussel sprouts and stir. Lower the heat to low and add dijon mustard and honey. Stir to coat completely, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 4-6.

My, how time flies. It’s mid-June, almost Father’s Day. Around these parts, that means that it’s about to get too hot for strawberries. It feels like just yesterday our farmer’s market just opened for the season with a few greens, beets, and spring onions. But now, I’m lugging home loads of produce – still beets and kale, but also strawberries and blueberries, peaches, plums, zucchini, tomatoes, okra, cream peas, big red onions, garlic, peppers, tomatillos, and more. There are even watermelons and cantaloupes starting to show up, brought from the southern parts of the state. Our warmer-than-normal spring is to blame for the early arrival of many of these favorites.
Not that I’m complaining – I’m bringing home a weekly CSA share, plus another one or two bags full, every Saturday morning. My cucumber plants are flourishing. (I’m harvesting 2-3 cukes a day!) I’m enjoying a plant-strong diet and feeling healthy and energized because of it.
But I am already realizing that some of my favorites will be gone soon. Strawberries, for one. I love to freeze berries so I can have them for smoothies, pies, and such, regardless of the time of year. I’ve already bought 12 pints of organic blueberries to freeze. Strawberries need to happen ASAP so I can be sure there are “cheesecakes” like this in the heat of the summer. There is nothing better than a cool, creamy, refreshing dessert to serve on a hot summer day.
Now, this isn’t cheesecake in the traditional sense. It’s not quite as rich as traditional cheesecake, but personally, I find that to be a plus. It’s still so creamy, and it bursts with bright berry flavors. I have made cashew cheesecakes before, but this is one of my new favorites. I think the mostly-raw approach to certain recipes, like this one, (the crust is the only part that’s not raw) really brings out the fresh flavor in foods. In the case of vegan cheesecakes, keeping the berries raw really makes the dessert sing of summer.
I’ve made this twice this year already – once, for my mother’s birthday and again for a coworker who was celebrating a birthday for someone avoiding gluten and dairy. Both times, it was a hit and was gone quickly. I think that means it’s successful; what do you think?
Strawberry “Cheesecake” with Almond-Macadamia Crust (gluten-free, vegan, refined sugar-free)
For the crust:
1/2 c macadamia nuts
1/4 c Medjool dates, pitted
1 c blanched almond flour
1/4 t kosher salt
1/4 t baking soda
2 T coconut oil
1/2 t vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
Place the macadamia nuts in the bowl of a food processor. Process until they are fine crumbs (don’t process too long or they will become a paste and eventually a butter!). Add the dates, almond flour, salt, baking soda, coconut oil, and vanilla and process again until dates are chopped very finely.
Scoop out the dough and press out along the bottom of the springform pan evenly.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges brown. Allow to cool completely.
For the filling:
3 c cashews, soaked at least 4 hours, preferably overnight
3/4 c agave nectar
1 T lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
6 T lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
1/2 c coconut oil, melted
2 t vanilla extract
1/2 t salt
32 oz strawberries (if frozen, thaw before using), plus additional if you wish to decorate the top
Drain the cashews and place in a high-powered blender. Start to blend on a low speed until the cashews turn to crumbs and paste. Add the agave, lemon zest, lemon juice, and coconut oil and continue to blend, stopping to scrape down the sides often, until the puree is creamy and no more bits of nuts remain. This may take a while, even with a high-powered blender. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, you may be more successful using your food processor. (I’ve made this with a regular blender before, but it took longer and I had to add a bit of water to “get it going”.) Once the “cheesecake” is sufficiently creamy, add the vanilla and salt and add half of the strawberries. Blend until no more strawberry chunks remain. Add remaining strawberries and blend again until creamy, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed.
Pour the strawberry puree into the springform pan once the crust is cool, spreading out evenly with a spatula. Place in the freezer for 4 hours or until firm. You can freeze overnight or even for more than a day; if you do, place in refrigerator several hours before serving to thaw. If desired, you can slice additional strawberries and decorate the top of the cheesecake.
(I was told by my friend that even leaving this cheesecake in the fridge for an entire day worked; that it held its shape. I haven’t tried this myself, but I imagine there is enough coconut oil to keep it firm.)

Whether you’re looking for another SuperBowl recipe (I’ve already shared some healthy sweet-and-spicy dip) or just a delicious treat to feed your family, these unassuming meatballs might just be the thing. Sure, I’ve shared meatballs before. We’ve had Swedish Meatballs. Spanish Almond Meatballs. Good ol’ Spaghetti and Meatballs (these aren’t dairy-free, FYI). Needless to say, meatballs are a beloved dish in our house. They are one of the few things everyone in the house will eat without complaint, even the child who refuses to eat hamburgers will still gladly eat meatballs. (And even meatball sandwiches, which makes no sense to me – both are ground meat and bread..? I am not a picky eater, however, so some of the picky eating habits baffle me.)
These particular meatballs are a light and lean variation with clean, Mediterranean spices (I used cinnamon, cumin, garlic, mint, and parsley), but a delightfully American slant, as I used ground bison in place of beef or pork. When I can find ground bison, commonly referred to as buffalo, I love to get it. It’s leaner than beef, but boasts a great amount of protein, iron and vitamin B12. If you can find grass-fed buffalo meat, even better. The meat is flavorful in spite of the leanness, which means your meatball can be “meaty” without being fatty. Not that I’m one to shy away from fat – you won’t find me cutting off the fat on a delicious, grass-fed beef rib-eye anytime soon – but once in a while, lighter is better. That, and I’m an equal opportunity eater – bison deserves a chance at my table just as much as any other protein! That being said, if you prefer to use beef in this recipe, feel free to substitute.
You can serve these meatballs with a squeeze of lemon, or even a more substantial sauce, if you feel like experimenting. I imagine a tzatziki or other cool, creamy sauce would be delicious with these babies. They are great both as an appetizer, or as part of a main meal. For me, they were a success for the picky eaters, as each could decide whether to eat them unadorned, mix them in with a gluten-free pasta I’d made, or squeeze some lemon juice over. Personally? I enjoyed mine on top of a heap of these collard greens. Delish!
Minty Bison Meatballs (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free)
1 large yellow onion, peeled and cut into large chunks
6 cloves garlic, peeled
2 T olive oil
2 1/2 lbs lean ground bison or beef
2 eggs
1 c packed flat-leaf parsley
½ c packed mint leaves
½ – ¾ c gluten-free bread crumbs (can substitute almond flour as well)
3 T ground cumin
½ t ground cinnamon
¼ t cayenne pepper
1 ½ t kosher salt
½ t ground black pepper
Lemon wedges
Preheat oven to 425 degrees, and arrange one rack in the upper third of the oven, and one rack in the lower third. Place the onion and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Puree until it becomes a paste. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, and scrape onion paste into skillet. Sauté paste until it softens and no longer has a raw taste, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and allow to cool.
Combine onion paste, ground beef, eggs, parsley, mint, bread crumbs, cumin, cinnamon, cayenne, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix well (using your hands is the easiest method). Form into 1 oz meatballs and place on 2 foil-lined baking sheets about 1 inch apart. Bake both sheets of meatballs on two racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven for 10 minutes. Rotate sheets and bake for an additional 10 minutes. Remove and serve with lemon wedges for garnish.
Makes about 40 meatballs.
The other day, I was ironing out holiday plans with my sister and parents. It was determined that the only time we could all get together for Christmas was in the morning, so we decided on a brunch. At the time, the only thing I knew I’d be serving would be a nice ham, and some sort of baked egg dish (I’ve since determined we’ll enjoy a variation on this frittata). When I called my mom to discuss plans and mentioned ham, she suggested scalloped potatoes.
It sounded delicious – ham with scalloped potatoes. But I felt a twinge of heartache as I envisioned the creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes I was accustomed to; after all, I wouldn’t be able to indulge. (Yes, that might be a touch self-centered, but I’m being honest here.) And those dairy-free cheeses (such as Daiya), while I enjoy them, don’t fool the rest of the cheese-eating members of my family. I started to go down the path to decide whether to make it and just not eat (after all, there would be plenty of other safe things for me to eat), or to make something else. Then, I thought, what if I could find another way to make dairy-free scalloped potatoes?
And just like that, I was researching.
I browsed what seemed to be a hearty handful of recipes, no two of which were alike. (Except for, you know, the potato part.) I considered the flavor combinations that were used, and started to formulate a recipe that was unique to my own tastes. I wanted creamy and decadent, but didn’t want it to taste like “fake” dairy. I wanted it to be so flavorful that no one would wonder where the cheese was.
I think I’ve accomplished that goal. These scalloped potatoes are decadent. Creamy. Golden brown on top. Rich and full of flavor. You might even think that they’re better than the traditional version, finding ways to sneak just one more bite. I hope so. I hope these potatoes steal the show at your next meal, as I’m afraid hoping they might just do that for me.
Scalloped Potatoes (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
About 3 lbs gold potatoes (Yukon Gold works well) peeled and sliced thin ( I used a mandoline)
1 c coconut milk
1 c vegetable broth (chicken broth can be used)
2 T vegan butter (I used Earth Balance)
2 T arrowroot starch
2 T sweet white rice flour
2 T nutritional yeast flakes
½ t onion powder
¼ t garlic powder
½ t dry mustard powder
¼ t white pepper
¼ t nutmeg
3 T mayonnaise (vegan mayonnaise to keep it vegan; regular can be substituted)
¼ c white wine
1 T lemon juice
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a baking dish and set aside. (I used a dish that was 7X11 inches.)
Combine potatoes, coconut milk and broth in a saucepan. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, reserving milk mixture. (Use a sieve and a bowl underneath to catch the milk.)
Clean out saucepan and add vegan butter. Melt over medium heat and add in arrowroot starch and sweet white rice flour, whisking for 30 seconds or so, to cook the flour. Add back the milk mixture, the nutritional yeast flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, mustard powder, pepper, nutmeg, mayonnaise, and white wine. Continue to whisk until smooth. Continue heating
and whisking until thickened. Remove from heat.
Layer about half of the potatoes in the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over this layer. Press down the
potatoes to make sure the sauce covers them all around. Add the remaining potatoes and pour the rest of the sauce over the top. Press again to ensure the sauce covers the potatoes.
Bake for an hour or until potatoes are browned on top and tender throughout. Serves 8.

Welcome back for the final (and possibly the most important) week of A Gluten-Free Holiday! Why is this the most important week? Well, because we’re sharing desserts! After all, children didn’t dream of casseroles and green beans while they were nestled all snug in their beds, did they? Hardly. The holiday season conjures up visions of sugarplums, and candies, cookies, and possibly even chewy apple cider blondies. Yes, chewy apple cider blondies. But we’ll get to those in a minute.
First, I have to share with you the details about this week’s A Gluten-Free Holiday Event. Maggie of She Let Them Eat Cake is hosting. She’s sharing a crave-worthy recipe for gingerbread cupcakes. In addition, she’s giving away some more awesome prizes – two, in fact. Maggie is giving away a copy of Blackbird Bakery Gluten-Free by Karen Morgan, as well as a copy of Simply…Gluten-Free Desserts by Carol Kicinski.
I personally own a copy of Carol’s book and love it – there are all sorts of decadent desserts in there, including a recipe for this delicious mango sticky cake. Blackbird Bakery is on my wish list, so hopefully I’ll own a copy soon! Be sure to head on over to She Let Them Eat Cake to enter for your chance to win!
Back to these chewy apple cider blondies. These blondies are chewy like a good brownie, with caramel and apple notes, dotted with the occasional chocolate chip, just for fun. At first glance, you might think that they’re not nearly as festive as the average holiday treat. They’re unassuming and unadorned. No sprinkles, frosting, or decadent toppings here. But that doesn’t mean that they’re not deserving. Sometimes, it’s the rustic, homestyle treats that I cherish the most. These are an entirely new creation (for me, at least), but they taste like something that would come out of my grandmother’s kitchen. In my mind, anything that stirs up memories of Grandma’s kitchen is automatically worthy of holiday treat status.
Chewy Apple Cider Blondies (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free)
1 c almond butter (unsweetened)
1 c turbinado sugar (or other granulated sweetener)
3 eggs
1/3 c apple cider syrup (you can get the recipe to make it at Lexie’s Kitchen. Mine was thick, like molasses. You can substitute about 1/4 cup honey for a different flavor)
scant 1/2 t kosher salt
1/4 t baking soda
1/4 t almond extract
1/4 c coconut flour
1/2 c dairy-free chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly grease an 8X8 inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper; grease the paper.
Put all of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process for 1-2 minutes or until well-blended. The batter should be thicker than cake batter, but thinner than cookie dough. If it’s too thin, add a tablespoon of coconut flour and blend. Too thick, then add a tablespoon of water and blend. (Depending on your almond butter, the thickness of your batter may vary.) Stir in chocolate chips with a spoon.
Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Serves 16.
A Gluten-Free Holiday is being hosted this week over at Diet, Dessert, and Dogs by Ricki Heller, and the theme is Holiday Breakfast and Brunch. Ricki is giving away a copy of her book, Sweet Freedom, and a copy of Gluten-Free and Vegan Holidays by Jennifer Katzinger, so be sure and head over there to check out the party!
Christmas is a time filled with lots of indulgences. Lots of cookies, tons of candy, and ever-so-special baked treats that make the season bright. Breakfasts are no exception, and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t fond of a Christmas stollen, donuts, or a coffee cake. But overindulgence in these treats, I’ve learned, comes at a price – my still-sensitive system still can’t handle a ton of sweets and grains, even gluten-free ones. So I pick and choose when and what I’m going to enjoy, even on the holidays. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t room for “special” meals – far from it! Special, in my mind, means something that’s a departure from the everyday (in a good way), and that doesn’t always have to equate to extra sugar. In fact, for breakfast, I know I prefer a protein-and-veggie-filled meal to a carb-heavy one.
Hence the reason for this frittata. It comes together relatively quickly. Of course, the most important part? It’s tasty, in a light and fresh sort of way. Yes, there is some bacon involved (which also ups the “special” factor a bit), but it’s definitely nowhere near as heavy as most baked egg dishes, which are full of cream and cheese. The bacon and sun-dried tomatoes are pleasant components here, providing some depth of flavor without being overwhelming. This frittata is a delicious way to start a special day, and is light enough to leave room for a bit of other Christmas breakfast goodies, such as those being shared over at Diet, Dessert and Dogs this week!
Zucchini and Sun-dried Tomato Frittata
2 slices bacon, cut in half to fit skillet
1/4 c thinly sliced onion
1 large zucchini, thinly sliced (I used a mandoline)
3 T sun-dried tomatoes (I used my dehydrated “tomato candy“)
1/4 c roughly chopped flat-leaf parsley
3 eggs, whisked
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Heat a small 8-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat and fry bacon until crisp, about 5-8 minutes. Remove bacon, leaving the grease in the pan. Once bacon is cool enough to touch, crumble. Add the onion to the pan and saute for 2 minutes, then add the zucchini. Saute until just tender and brown in a few spots, then add the sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, and crumbled bacon. Toss together a bit, and remove from heat. Add the whisked eggs and season with salt and pepper. Stir the vegetables and bacon together with the eggs a bit to incorporate everything evenly. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10 minutes or until eggs are set in the center. Remove from oven, and place a plate upside-down over the skillet. Holding the bottom of the plate with one hand, and the handle of the skillet with the other, flip the pan and plate together so that the plate is now at the bottom and the skillet upside-down on top. The frittata should come free from the skillet and lay on the plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
Makes enough for 2 as part of a breakfast or brunch. Can be doubled – just bake in a larger skillet, perhaps for a few extra minutes.

Today over at Daily Bites, we are sharing our favorite holiday entrees and side dishes in our continuation of A Gluten-Free Holiday. As always, there is a giveaway involved (Hallie will be giving away a copy of her new book, The Pure Kitchen) so be sure to head over there and check it out!
Our family has their fair share of holiday favorites. I’ve already shared the need for stuffing and gravy (as welcome at Christmas as it is at Thanksgiving, if there’s a turkey involved), broccoli cheese rice casserole, and tamales. But I’ve already blabbed about those favorites with you time and time again. I asked my husband to help me brainstorm on holiday dishes. He suggested gumbo (which has a cult following in our family this time of year), but the traditional recipe is a direct replica of Emeril Lagasse’s, so it wasn’t quite what I had in mind. So then I thought – why not create a new favorite?
But what? When I think of holiday food, many times, I can’t get desserts out of my head. (We’ll share desserts as part of A Gluten-Free Holiday too, on December 15, at She Let Them Eat Cake, but that’s another time, another day, another recipe.) I had to brainstorm. Savory. Side Dish. Holiday. Think! Think! What are foods eaten in fall and winter? Umm…root vegetables? Sweet Potatoes? I love sweet potatoes, but they’re not very special. How can I make sweet potatoes special? Hmm, I have some leftover pie crust dough in the fridge… And suddenly, the waters parted. I knew just what I would make, and this simple-but-special, savory, delicious pie was born.
What I love about this dish is that unlike so many other holiday foods, it’s not overly heavy or rich. In fact, paired with a nice side salad, it could easily be a welcome brunch for guests that stay at your home during the holiday season. (Or even just a good pre-holiday-shopping meal!) Truthfully, it’s not all that fussy. No more so than making a typical pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, truthfully, and if you wanted to go crustless, you could simply bake the filling in a greased pie dish (or heck, even individually-sized ramekins) and serve it that way. But if you have a bit of time to make a pie crust, go for it. In my mind, it elevates this pie to holiday status. It also provides a bit of contrasting texture. And the flavors? With a creamy, slightly sweet custard, touched with rosemary and smoked paprika, how could you go wrong?
Savory Sweet Potato Pie
1 recipe gluten-free pie crust (or your favorite gluten-free pie crust recipe - I haven’t tried this with a nut-based crust, but I bet it would work well.)
5 egg yolks
2 c cooked sweet potato puree (if using fresh sweet potatoes, simply prick with a fork, microwave until soft, scoop out flesh, and puree in food processor)
1 c coconut milk
1 t fresh rosemary, chopped
1 t kosher salt
1/2 t fresh ground black pepper
1/4 t smoked paprika
1/8 t nutmeg
1 T maple syrup
1 T sweet white rice flour (or your favorite gluten-free flour)
1 egg whisked with 1 T water for egg wash
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out pie crust in between two sheets of parchment paper; transfer to 9-inch pie plate. Place egg yolks in the bowl of a food processor; process for about 30 seconds. Add sweet potatoes, coconut milk, rosemary, salt, pepper, paprika, nutmeg, maple syrup, and rice flour and puree until smooth. Pour into pie crust. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. (Note: you may want to use a pie shield or cover the edges of the crust with foil during the baking process to prevent excess browning.) Cool for 15-20 minutes. Serve.
