Super Healthy Super Green Smoothie (Vegan and Gluten Free with Raw Option)
Green Smoothies are a great way to pack some extra power into your morning. Blending greens breaks down their tough cellular wall and makes them really easy to digest. Maca, spirulina and wheatgrass powder add some extra nutrition to this smoothie.
Millet “Polenta” Fries (corn free, soy free and gluten free)
Millet is an underrated grain. There’s a lot of fuss about brown rice and black rice and quinoa and oats and amaranth. I love all these grains! Millet isn’t always mentioned in lists of gluten free grains but it is super healthy and incredibly delicious. …

Fluffy Gluten Free Lemon Chia Seed Pancakes
These days, many restaurants offer vegan pancakes and quite a few even offer gluten free pancakes. However, pancakes that are vegan AND gluten free (and soy free and oil free and made without refined sugar)? Those are a little harder to find. Fortunately, these lemon chia seed pancakes are super easy to make at home.
Roasted Root Vegetables (vegan, gluten free and soy free)
Roasted vegetables are a staple for me. When I need an easy meal, I just toss whatever vegetables I have in a glass baking dish along with some spices and throw it all in the oven. This can make a lovely side side for a meal but I often find myself relying on a big bowl of roasted vegetables as an entree. These roasted root vegetables are filling and full of fiber, nutrients and antioxidants
Crispy Oil Free Falafel (with oven and air fryer options)
This falafel is vegan and gluten free and it’s crispy even though it is not fried! Holy crap, you guys, I finally got an air fryer. I’ve been hearing you all rave about them for years and I finally see what the fuss is about. You don’t need an air fryer to make this recipe (I’ve included conventional oven instructions) but it sure does an amazing job of crisping these little puppies right up.
Tabbouleh Inspired Quinoa Salad (with grain free, raw option)
I’ve always loved tabbouleh but I had to stop ordering it in restaurants many years ago when I stopped eating wheat. This tabbouleh inspired salad is great alternative to traditional tabbouleh (which is made with bulgar wheat). It is refreshing and lemony and the quinoa gives it a nice texture.
Ginger Sweet Potato Soup (vegan, gluten free and soy free with oil free option)
Ginger and sweet potatoes are nutritional powerhouses. This soup is a staple in my house and the addition of ginger makes it especially warming on cold days.
Sesame Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Tempeh and Kale
Brussels sprouts get a bad rap. Many of us remember the bitter, mushy, overcooked Brussels sprouts from childhood. I cringe when I think about eating those. Yet, now, Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite foods. Turns out, it’s all in the preparation. I don’t ever boil them. I prefer to roast Brussels sprouts. Roasting them at a higher temperature makes them tender on the inside with crispy outside leaves.
