I recently revived my love for waffles on my baby moon trip to the Jersey shore this summer where I had some of the best waffles (gluten free or not) I've ever had. I looked for gluten free versions at the store in the frozen section but honestly none of them met my demands for being both delicious and healthy (Fit Foodie style!).. and they all have SO many unnecessary ingredients and additives. I have also tried making them at home but never really succeeded because the te

This delectable peachy maple smoothie is so good, you’ll forget it’s healthy! Perfect for those hot summer days when you need a quick pick-me- up snack or even breakfast. RECIPE: 1/3 cup frozen or fresh sliced peaches 1/2 banana fresh or frozen* 1 scoop organic Vanilla vegan protein powder (I recommend the pea-based kind) 1 Scoop(or 2 tablespoons) of Powdered grass-fed Collagen 1/3 cup (or more depending on desired consistency) unsweetened cashew or coconut milk 1 Tablespoon

I love granola and all the healthy potential it could have, but sadly, the majority of store- bought granola is anything but. It’s packed with cane sugar, unhealthy oils like canola, and usually not gluten free, or organic. However, my solution for delicious, nutritious and actually healthy granola is very simple! You can make this in large batches and store in an airtight container; ready-to-eat as is, and use as toppings for yogurt anytime! Feel free to get creative with y

Nothing says Spring like this beautiful and colorful Spring salad! While it’s pretty to look at, what I really love about it is how the surprisingly zesty but sweet orange dressing dances beautifully with the different textures and flavors. It’s savory, sweet, tangy, crunchy and tender all at once! It’s great as a lunch salad topped with your choice of protein or as a lovely side dish to your main dinner entree. 1 Cup Brussels sprouts 4-5 medium Carrots 1/3 cup shredded Pur

Quinoa bowls have become quite the trendy meal lately, and for good reason. The base of quinoa makes for a good source of plant- based protein that is naturally gluten- free and high in fiber. It also provides a great canvas for a wide array of ingredients and flavors. They're an excellent pack-able lunch that's healthy and easy to prepare. Heck, even an easy dinner! Here I’ve created a Greek- style bowl with some traditional ingredients like humus, tomatoes, cucumbers,

How about a yummy, grain- free appetizer made entirely of vegetables that won't expand your waistline? With a dipping sauce? YES, and YES! One of the things I really missed when going entirely gluten- free was fun little appetizers that almost 100% of the time, were made with some sort of wheat flour. I love food, and I wasn't about to take this lying down! Hence, my experiments for yummy, clean eats began! RECIPE Makes about 24 fritters Fritters: 4 carrots shredded 1 zuc

REVISED AUGUST 2021, NOW WITH 2 DIFFERENT COOKING METHODS! I'm so excited to finally be presenting this recipe; one that I've worked on for WAY too long! In fact, I even made a new Fit Foodie Graziella TV video of the recipe, only to have lost the footage during a power outage, never to be recovered, (sigh). Part of the reason I've worked on it for so long is that the texture is somewhat difficult to achieve, yet is a big part of what makes egg bites so delicious and crave-

This is a meal I've been making for years, and it's a family and dinner- party guest favorite! It also happens to be really, really easy, almost to a fault. That's what makes it a perfect week-night meal, and amazing as leftovers to pack for lunch, or even elaborate upon your next dinner like chicken tacos, chicken fried rice or pasta with chicken. I make this winner winner chicken dinner at least 3 times a month. You can also make this with two types of chicken; skin- o

Revised 2021 This is a super- moist, hearty and delicious cookie that’s free of refined sugar, dairy-free and can be made vegan, and nut-free, if desired. It’s also gluten-free with the use of gluten-free oats, and an excellent grab-n-go breakfast! Now, I’ve tried several variations of this recipe, and I have to say I enjoy mine the best because they’re not gummy, or bland, but they’re also healthy and satisfying.. PLUS, and this is a big one.. they’re very easy to make :-)

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

Newly updated Fall 2020! please see notes below It's pumpkin spice season, and these muffins are sure to please! They are super-moist, gluten- free, delicious and nutritious.

Updated 2019! For those of you who bake gluten- free goodies, this is a tough one to nail: the PERFECT flour blend; one that doesn't taste like beans, grass, grits or talc. This is something I've been experimenting with for quite a few years, and I'm excited to share with all of you, my fellow gluten- sensitives, and celiacs, the perfect gluten free flour blend that tastes amazing while still being nutritious. Oh, did I also mention that this flour blend can be used as a cup

Before I found out I had a gluten intolerance and became gluten free, I was obsessed with making these in the morning when I wanted something freshly baked that wasn't sweet, and didn't take all the time in the world either.  These are amazing fresh out of the oven with some butter.. or jam, however you like them! 2/3 cup gluten-free oat flour 1/4 cup white rice flour 1/4 cup tapioca flour 3 tablespoons flaxseed meal 1 teaspoon baking powder 6 tablespoons grass-fed butter, g

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
