dairy-free chocolate chip ice cream

Guys.....ice-cream. Not even a question one of the best things on this earth. I used to go to the beach every summer growing up and literally the trip would not be complete without a stop at the ice-cream shop. 'Twas basically a bowl loaded up with various chocolates and sugars, a child's dream!!! Little did I know I was actually eating a bowl of chemicals and artificial dyes.... BUT man it tasted good. Well, now that I'm older and wiser I've tried to deviate from those terr

how to make a charcuterie board

First charcuterie board was a success!! I mean… who doesn’t love some good ol’ cheese and crackers, along with all the other goodies?! The best part is that you can make them a million different ways, so you can cater to your own preferred tastes and dietary needs! We added a variety of organic meats and cheeses, crackers (both regular and gluten-free), fresh grapes, raspberries, blackberries, banana chips, olives and of course some french bread. I personally don’t eat dairy

paleo girl scout samoa cookies

I mean.... who doesn't love a classic girl scout cookie!? It's hard enough to resist them when the sweetest little girl is trying to sell them to you, but even harder when they are all the most addicting and delicious things you will ever taste in your entire life. My top 3 will always be Thin Mints, Tagalongs and Samoas! What are your favorites? It was only a matter of time before we learned how to make these suckers in a healthier way!

sunny-side up eggs + GF naan

Eggs are easily one of my favorite breakfast options (if you haven't noticed already!). They are just such a great way to get protein into your diet and start your day out with a filling breakfast! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you know ;) This meal is a bunch of different things, but of course, pick and choose what you like or mix and match items! You can change out the meat (or remove it), choose a different fruit, etc. Make it what you like! The biggest

open-faced tuna + avocado sandwich

I used to grow up eating tuna sandwiches -- my mom would have one made for me when I got home from school, or just on the weekend when I was home for lunch. I didn't really realize how much I loved them until I grew up and didn't have mom to make them for me anymore! Tuna is a GREAT option for protein throughout the day, and can be enjoyed so many ways! It can be eaten by itself, or even paired with avocado or egg for a unique taste! Try this next time you need a filling yet

paleo breakfast bagels

BAGELS! One of my favorite breakfast items -- I used to eat them all the time growing up and when I was on the road traveling (hotel breakfast, anyone??), but then unfortunately stopped due to the fact that I realized that they aren't that healthy... lol. Plus, when I realized that I was sensitive to gluten, it just was not working with my new health habits. BUT there is still a way to enjoy them! This recipe re-creates the famous bagel, but in a gluten-free, dairy-free and p

cookie & ice cream sandwiches

Whenever I would stop at a gas station growing up, I would always want the cookie & ice cream sandwich combo. Always. SO AMAZING. That was when I realized I needed to figure out a way to make a healthier version, so I could still enjoy them but not feel as guilty. But honestly my #1 reason was just so I could have them without harming my body in the process! Check these out for a LIFE- CHANGING post-dinner sweet treat :) INGREDIENTS: 1 box of Simple Mills Almond Flour Cookie

They have so many awesome grain-free products that are great for easy dinners or quick breakfast options. Use code "healthandkellness" for a discount when ordering! Their grain-free english muffins have been a staple lately - I love taking the sweeter route on some days, or switching it up and going savory, pairing with some dairy-free cream
