As many of you know, I’m not a cheesy person (pun intended 😂🤣).. or maybe I am, ha!  I digress.  But... I do love me some mac and cheese, and occasionally I will indulge.  However, it’s got to be high- quality in terms of ingredients, and it must be gluten- free because that, unfortunately, I can not compromise on. What I love about this recipe is that I get to eat a creamy, authentic mac & cheese, but it’s packed with veggies, and gentler on the waistline (and my tummy!) w

They're super moist, not too sweet, and perfect for breakfast or a snack without all the guilt that comes from a traditional muffin (aka trans fats, refined sugar [TONS of it!], zero fiber, etc.).  They happen to be gluten-free, dairy-free and there's also an easy vegan option ;-). You're welcome, and enjoy! P.s. Here's one of the ways I enjoyed my super moist muffin this morning- with a side of banana and peanut butter, of course! 😋 INGREDIENTS: Dry- * 4 tablespoons coconut

If this looks something like a pizza, it is no wonder because it takes many of the familiar Neapolitan ingredients in a pizza and turns them into a healthier, satisfying main course! I created this dish with love for my family, to bring familiar flavors into a Fit Foodie- style meal ;-) INGREDIENTS * 1 lb of chicken, pork or veal cutlets (always look for organic and/or naturally raised animal protein) * 6 garlic cloves smashed * 1/2 onion slicked * Sunflower oil for cook

I love humus- it's an addicting savory Mediterranean spread made of chick peas that I've had numerous times in Greek and Middle Eastern restaurants.  Although the name varies from culture to culture, the taste is pretty much the same in all the cuisines.  So if you've had the real thing like me, and then you go to the store to buy a container of ready-made humus, only to be disappointed by a bland, too-tart, imposter spread, you're not alone!  Homemade humus tastes WAY better

Here's a risotto recipe you can enjoy without the dairy, but you won't miss any of the flavor! Try it and let me know what you think- Risotto: * 1 Package of Cremini mushrooms * 2 1/2 cups arborio rice (or short grain rice) * 1 red onion minced * 4 cloves of garlic minced * 5 cups of vegetable broth (already hot) * 3 tablespoons Organic Earth Balance * 1 teaspoon dried Thyme * 1/2 teaspoon sage (dried or fresh) * 1 Bay leaf * 1/4 teaspoon crushed Saffron threads * Salt and P

This creamy spring pea soup is super-easy to make, and is full of fiber, protein and surprisingly crowd-pleasing. It's also gluten-free, casein-free (recipe options for 100% dairy free/vegan too), and nut free. You can use fresh spring peas (ideal) or frozen peas (which I use). Both work the same way and taste great. Recipe: serves 2-3 Main Ingredients: 10 ounces of fresh or frozen peas (frozen peas come in 10 oz packages) 1/4 yellow onion chopped 1/2 small garlic clove sm

I was a bad, bad girl this weekend.. I ate cheese, my nutritional archenemy! But, I have a great excuse- it was my birthday weekend! I also grew up on cheese (I'm Italian, and Polish!) and I truly believe it's OK to splurge once in a while, even necessary, to maintain one's sanity. But isn't dairy healthy, full of calcium that we need? [Tangent: If you've seen the movie Idiocracy, this reminds me of the part of the movie where the characters constantly repeat that Brawndo,
