In case you’re new here, I also try to make recipes as easy as humanly possible, which means I start with shortcuts, like using pre-cooked lentils. I tried starting with raw mushrooms pulverized directly into the meatball mixture… but it’s not nearly as nice as cooking the mushrooms with onion first. So just know that taking 10 minutes to cook the mushrooms is worth it. The result is a delicious vegetarian meatball that’s made without breadcrumbs, so it’s naturally gluten-free....

Knowing how much I love my Instant Pot , you probably won’t be surprised to hear that I ordered their new Ace Blender the moment it hit stores. Like their famous pressure cooker, it’s a multi-tasking small appliance that can blend and actually cook your food at the same time! While some other blenders can cook food through friction, meaning that they blend for so long that the ingredients eventually heat up, the Ace Blender actually has a heating element to cook your food — so not everything that gets cooked has to have a perfectly smooth, pureed texture....

Boy, do I have a treat for you today. Peanut butter + Chocolate OVERLOAD, in the form of Double Doozies. If you happen to be unfamiliar with Double Doozies (as I was before meeting my husband) , they are basically cookie sandwiches, composed of two cookies with a thick layer of frosting in the middle. In other words, it’s a sugar coma just waiting to happen. And while this is probably the most decadent thing to come out of my kitchen in a while, my version is still grain-free and naturally sweetened –> meaning you should be able to enjoy these nutrient-dense treats without suffering from crazy spikes in your blood sugar later....

Nut-butter-based cookies are fast becoming a staple in our house. Who knew that gluten-free baking could be so simple?
