In case you missed the announcement, in the last two weeks, my husband and I have packed up our Hollywood life, loaded our two pups into our car, and road tripped the majority of the way across the country in search of a slower paced, more authentic life. We are now settling into our new home in Kansas City, Missouri splendidly just in time for summer fun!

Since I moved to Los Angeles in 2014, I had been completely without a yard, something this Pacific Northwest girl has struggled with greatly. Creating an outdoor space in our new home is of the utmost importance to me, which is why I am thrilled to partner with Kleenex and VIVA to share my tips for how to create your own backyard mecca along with my twist on a classic summer recipe for Gluten Free Sloppy Joe’s!

Gluten Free Pumpkin Spiced Cookies

October 4, 2016

The temperature has yet to dip below 65 degrees in Los Angeles, but I’m still trying to get into the autumn spirit any and every way I can. The best way to infuse a bit of fall into my life? By creating a recipe for gluten free pumpkin spiced cookies, of course!

Vegan Blondies

March 1, 2016

The struggle is real when it comes to finding delicious desserts that I can eat. Not only am I pretty strictly gluten free, I have also cut back on eating sweets as of late. You see, I have a bit of a sweet tooth and fall into the bad habit of consuming excess amounts of cookies and candy during the holiday season. This past year was no exception and with everything going on in my body right now I made the decision to cut out unnecessary desserts. Smart plan, right? Sure, until I’m hit with a major craving and give in to it.

Knowing that I would inevitably cave to the urge to eat sugar at some point, I began searching for ways to satisfy my cravings in a healthier way. I initially tried replacing cookies with fruit but that didn’t quite do the trick. Enter chickpea blondies. Yes, you read that right. Chickpea blondies.

Rich and Easy Gluten Free Brownie Cake

January 12, 2016

As the big 3-0 approached, I found myself craving the taste of the rich chocolate birthday cakes I enjoyed in my youth. The only problem was that all of the chocolate cake recipes I had in my arsenal contained gluten. Not one to be deterred by my gluten-free lifestyle, I set out on a quest to find an easy and delicious alternative to the chocolate cake recipes I remember from my childhood.

Magical Molasses Cookies

December 15, 2015

The name of these cookies is not an exaggeration. They are truly magical. Possibly even a little sinful, making them a perfect indulgence for this time of year. We can all wait until 2016 to worry about losing a few pounds in cookie weight, right? I promise you that these are worth a couple of extra sessions at the gym.
