  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the almond flour, cocoa powder, Xanthan Gum and salt. Whisk to combine.
  3. Slice the butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into very small pieces into the almond flour mixture (smaller than pea size!). Then add the maple syrup, water and peppermint extract and stir together with a spatula.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for 15 minutes. This helps to make rolling the cookies out much easier!
  5. After 15 minutes, remove the dough from the refrigerator and place onto your work surface. Place a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap over the dough, then roll it out, this makes rolling much easier! Roll the dough out to about 1/8″ thick.
  6. Next, use a 2″ circle cutter, cut out the cookies and place onto your prepared sheet tray.
  7. Bake for 12-17 minutes. (Be sure to check the cookies at 12 minutes, you want them to be crispy but don’t allow them to burn!) Allow cookie wafers to cool completely.
  8. While the cookie wafers cool, make the chocolate coating. To a microwave safe bowl add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  9. Microwave on 25 second intervals, stirring in between each, until the chocolate is just melted. Then add in the peppermint extract and stir to combine.
  10. Take a chocolate wafer, dip into the melted chocolate coating, turning the wafer to coat the entire cookie. Let any excess chocolate drip off into the bowl and place the cookie onto your prepared sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper.
  11. Continue with remaining wafers, coating each in chocolate.
  12. Place the coated cookies into the freezer for 10 minutes or refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  13. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator, however you like your thin mints! Enjoy!

Description

This healthy blackberry tart features a delicate olive oil crust, tart blackberries and fresh lemon for a show-stopper summertime treat!

 

Ingredients

Units Scale

Tart Dough:

  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 2 tsp Lemon Zest (zest from 1 medium-sized lemon
  • 1/3 cup Olive Oil
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 34 tbsp Ice Water (as needed to bring dough together)

Tart Filling:

  • 16 oz Blackberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 5 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Coarse Sugar (optional for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F
  2. Spray a tart pan or pie pan with nonstick spray, set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a food processor add all the dough ingredients except water. Pulse together for 10-15 seconds to mix the dough. If the dough seems very crumbly, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time to bring the dough together. It should stay together when you pinch with your fingers.
  4. Grab you pie or tart pan and place your dough into the pan. Using your hands or the bottom of a measuring cup, press the dough evenly into the pan. Start at the center of the pan and work your way out to evenly distribute the dough around the entire pan and slightly up the edges, just as you would a pie crust. Refrigerate your dough while you mix up the filling.
  5. In a medium size bowl, add the blackberries, lemon juice, sugar and flour. Mix together gently with a spatula.
  6. Remove your tart crust from the refrigerator and pour the blackberry filling into the crust. Give the pan a gentle shake back and forth to evenly distribute the blackberries. Top the berries with 1 tablespoon of coarse sugar.
  7. Place the tart pan onto a sheet tray (this is a must if you do not want to spend the next day cleaning your oven!) and place into the oven.
  8. Bake at 400° F for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool at least 10 minutes before digging in. Enjoy!

  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through roasting until the turnips are nicely golden brown and slightly crispy.

One of my most popular recipes! Quinoa Greek Salad is a great side dish, lunch and excellent to bring to potlucks!


Ingredients

Scale
Salad Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups Quinoa
  • 3 cups Water
  • 1 pt Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata Olives
  • 1/2 cup Feta Cheese
Balsamic Dressing Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

For the quinoa and veggies
  1. Rinse the 1 1/2 cups quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, heat 3 cups of water over high heat. Add the rinsed quinoa. Bring quinoa and water to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. The quinoa is done cooking when all the water is absorbed and it is light and fluffy.
  2. Prep and slice veggies.
  3. Peel cucumber and slice off the ends. Cut the cucumber in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon scoop out the seeds. Next, slice each half lengthwise into 1/2 inch long sections. Then stack your long sections together to dice into 1/2 inch dice. Place diced cucumber into a large bowl.
  4. Rinse your cherry tomatoes. Slice each tomato lengthwise (its prettier!). Place into bowl with cucumber.
  5. Slice kalamata olives in half. Place into bowl with cucumber and tomato.
 
For the balsamic dressing
  1. Into a small mixing bowl or mason jar add all dressing ingredients. Whisk until the dressing is fully emulsified. Taste the dressing and adjust seasonings per your preference
Putting the salad together
  1. Once the quinoa has finished cooking add 3/4 of the dressing to the hot quinoa and stir to mix well. This will allow the quinoa to really absorb the dressing.
    Place the quinoa into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  2. Once the quinoa has cooled, place it into a large bowl. Add the cucumber, cherry tomatoes and kalamata olives. Next add the feta and mix together, taking care not to smash your tomatoes. Add the remaining 1/4 of the dressing and mix together. Place the salad back into the refrigerator for 1 more hour. Serve chilled, enjoy!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Glaze are crispy, caramelized, and coated in a sweet-tangy drizzle that makes veggies feel exciting again. They’re the perfect simple side that adds color, flavor, and a little nourishment to any holiday table.


Ingredients

Scale
Roasted Brussels
  • 1 1/2 lbs Brussels Sprouts
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Balsamic Glaze
  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Sugar

Instructions

For the Brussels Sprouts
  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F. Set a large sheet tray out for roasting the Brussels sprouts.
  2. Rinse the Brussels sprouts. Trim the root end off and discard. Slice each sprout in half and place on the sheet tray. Some leaves will fall off, this okay simply add them to the sheet tray too. Discard any outer leaves that are yellow and not green.
  3. Pour one tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper over the Brussels. Using your hands mix it all together to coat the Brussels. Place the tray into the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway. Watch them carefully for the last few minutes as the leaves can burn easily.
For the Balsamic Glaze
  1. While the Brussels sprouts roast, make the balsamic glaze. Heat a sauce pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the balsamic vinegar and sugar. Turn the heat up to medium high and bring the mixture to a low boil.
  3. Once it has reached boil, turn it down and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. The mixture will cook down and get slightly thicker. You will know its done when the liquid will coat the back of a spoon.
  4. After the 20 minutes turn the heat off and allow the glaze to cool slightly. It will thicken and become glaze like as it cools.
To Serve
  1. Using a spoon drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the roasted Brussels sprouts. Enjoy hot!

Description

Better than Girl Scout Samoa cookies with just 4-ingredients! Plus, no added preservatives or artificial nonsense here!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups Unsweetened, Shredded Coconut
  • 2 cups Pitted Dates
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1 tsp Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F for toasting the coconut.
  2. In the bowl of a food processor add the dates and pulse for 10-20 seconds to break down the dates.
  3. Pour coconut onto a sheet tray with a silpat or parchment paper and place in the oven to toast for 3-5 minutes. (Take care to watch it as it will burn easily!) Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 minutes.
  4. Add the toasted coconut to the dates in the food processor and pulse for 10-15 seconds. You will know the mixture is ready when it can be pinched together and stays together.
  5. Scoop out tablespoon size portions of the mixture and form into a round cookie shape, pressing it into shape with your fingers. Place onto your sheet tray with the silpat or parchment from toasting the coconut. Continue to form cookies with the remaining mixture.*To make authentic Girl Scout Samosas, take a toothpick or small spatula handle and make a hole in the center of each cookie. You may need to press and shape the cookies to retain their shape.
  6. Place the sheet tray into the freezer and freeze for 5 minutes to set the cookies shape.
  7. Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on 25 second intervals until the chocolate is fully melted, stirring in between each interval.
  8. Next, remove the cookies from the freezer. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate to coat the bottom and return to your silpat or parchment covered sheet tray. Repeat for all cookies. Then, using a spoon, drizzle the remaining chocolate over the cookies in a stripe pattern for the full Samoa look.
  9. Place the cookies back into the freezer for at least 10 minutes so that the chocolate will set. Remove from the freezer and carefully peel the cookies off your silpat or parchment. Enjoy!

Notes

Keep the Samoas in an air tight container in the refrigerator.

Description

This vibrant salad brings together sweet, savory, tart, and crunchy flavors in every bite—perfect as a nutritious side dish!


Ingredients

Units Scale

Salad:

  • 1 Sweet Potato
  • 4 cups Baby Spinach
  • 1/4 cup Pecans, Chopped
  • 1/4 cup Pomegranate Arils
  • 1/8 cup Parmesan Shavings
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper
Dressing:
  • 1/4 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Black Pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by roasting your sweet potato. Preheat oven to 400° F, get a large sheet tray out and set aside. Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1-inch dice.
  2. Place the diced sweet potato onto your sheet tray and top with 1 tbsp olive oil, kosher salt and pepper. Place into the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until just starting to brown and crisp, stirring halfway. Allow the sweet potato to cool for at least 10 minutes before adding to the salad. (If it is hot it will wilt the spinach!)
  3. While the sweet potato roasts, prepare the rest of the salad. Place the baby spinach into a large bowl. Add the pomegranate arils and pecans and using two spoons, toss together.
  4. Next, mix up the dressing. Add all the ingredients into a mason jar, pop a lid on and give it a shake. Or, add the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  5. After the sweet potato has cooled, add to the salad mixture.
  6. Next, pour over 3/4 of the dressing and toss the salad together. Taste for seasoning and add more dressing if you’d like.
  7. Lastly, using a peeler, shave thin pieces of Parmesan cheese to top the salad. Enjoy!

Description

Creamy, cheesy, and absolutely delicious! Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese is packed with flavor, fiber and nutrients. It is the perfect dish for your holiday meals.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 Butternut Squash
  • 3 Garlic Cloves
  • 2 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Vegetable Stock
  • 4 oz Gruyere Cheese, Shredded
  • 8 oz Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Shredded
  • 16 oz Cavatappi Pasta

Breadcrumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup Whole Wheat Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp Chopped Herbs (Such as Thyme, Sage)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a large sheet tray with foil, set aside.
  2. Using a sharp knife, slice the butternut squash in half lengthwise. Be careful as the squash’s skin is quite tough! Using a spoon, scoop out the seeds and bit of flesh from the squash.
  3. Spread 1 tablespoon olive oil over the squash halves. Place garlic cloves into each squash half. Add 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp ground black pepper. Place sheet tray into the preheated oven and roast for 40-60 minutes, depending on the size of your butternut squash. You will know the squash is done when you can press it with a fork and it is soft.
  4. While the squash is roasting, cook your pasta. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 2 tsp salt to your water. Add your pasta and cook 1 minute under the recommended time. You want your pasta to be “al dente” and have a little bite to it. Drain the pasta and set the pot aside to use again.
  5. Let the squash cool for at least 10 minutes. After 10 minutes scoop the flesh of the butternut squash out and place into the bowl of a food processor. Be sure to scoop all the flesh and the garlic!
  6. Add 1 cup of stock to the food processor. Process the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
  7. Place the pot you used for the pasta onto the stove and heat to low. Using a spatula spoon the butternut squash mixture into the pot. Add both the shredded gruyere and cheddar cheeses. Stir the cheeses into the butternut squash mixture until they are melted. At this point check your mixture for seasoning. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to your squash and cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly.
  9. Place pasta mixture into a 9×13 dish that has been coated with cooking spray.
  10. Sprinkle 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs over top of mac and cheese. Then top with herbs and drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over top.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown on top. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, enjoy!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 3 3/4 cups Old Fashioned Oats (Use 3 3/4 cups for more granola clusters, use 4 cups for “crumbly” granola)
  • 1/4 cup Flaxseed
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp Cardamom (Optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups Raw Nuts (I used Pecans and Sliced Almonds)
  • 1/4 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 cup Dried Cranberries (Or your favorite dried fruit)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325° F.
  2. To a large mixing bowl add the oats, nuts, cinnamon, cardamom (if using), and salt. Stir together with a spatula and set aside.
  3. In a liquid measuring cup add the olive oil and maple syrup. Mix together and then add the vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the liquid mixture over the oats mixture and stir together thoroughly with a spatula.
  5. Spread the granola mixture evenly onto a large sheet tray and bake for 25 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
  6. After 25 minutes remove the granola from the oven and add the dried cranberries. Mix together and then allow the granola to cool before serving.
  7. Tip: If you want your granola to have large clusters (which I do!) after you add the dried cranberries, press the granola down with the back of a spatula, then allow to cool fully.
  8. Serve over Greek Yogurt or enjoy plain as a snack!
