Look, I’ve been making this particular recipe, this particular way for over 5 years… and no one has EVER guessed these brownies are gluten or dairy free.
Is there anything more annoying than when someone writes you a book report on a recipe post? Well, maybe being quarantined inside for going on 3 months is a close second.

Growing up, I feel like we had stuffed peppers almost every week and somewhere along the road to adulthood, I forgot all about them. Until I found my mom’s recipe and discovered how INSANELY easy they are to make and yet completely delish.

I’m sharing a super special recipe with you all — my family ate they frozen cranberry dessert every Thanksgiving for my entire life as it was my Grandma Kay’s signature! It’s SO good and the perfect balance between sweet and tart. Now that she’s passed, I make it every year in her honor and my dad and I pretty much eat the whole pan.

If a recipe takes more than 30 minutes, I’m not interested, ya feel me? I started making this super easy Greek pasta YEARS ago and now have modified it to be gluten free (also easily dairy free). This dinner makes an appearance a couple times a month because it’s so quick and EVERYONE loves it!

Almost everyone I talk to WANTS to clean up their diet, but there are so many barriers for most of us that meal prep just isn't in the equation.
Guysssss, I get it, ok? When I was trying to change my diet, I was working a full time job, shooting weddings on the weekends and planning a wedding. Cue insanity. Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to eat unhealthy when life is busy, which is..... 99% of the time.

My parents are just OBSESSED with 3-Bean Salad. I mean, it's absurd. They buy it for like, every event. Recently, they've been making alot of health changes and I wanted to be able to create this salad in a healthier way. The pre-made kind is FULL of sugar and nasty industrial oils so I took it upon myself to take care of that.

Growing up, one of my favorite memories was going to Olive Garden with my Italian grandma and eating Pasta Fagoli and mountains of breadsticks. Although I can no longer have gluten or dairy, this soup comes pretty darn close and takes minutes to make.

First, we just need to stop kidding ourselves. Nothing about unicorn hot chocolate is healthy. Have you seen it lately? If not, scroll down because there's about 4,735 photos of it.
But after being overwhelmed by it's cuteness online, and finding a newfound appreciation for all things unicorn, I had to find a way to make it at least healthIER, so that kids everywhere don't just start dropping dead. I never knew that blogging would turn into a life saving endeavor.

When it comes to healthy eating on a busy schedule, meal prepping is a MUST! Do you hear me? I realize that isn't what you wanted me to say, but lying to you isn't gonna get us anywhere. I know, you have visions of like seventeen pots on the stove and stuff spilled everywhere whilst you try to jam another container in the fridge - but it doesn't have to be that way. And it doesn't have to take all weekend. Just so happens I have quite a bit of experience in the meal prepping arena and I've developed a formula of sorts. And if I've been able to teach my parents how to do it - you got this.

Wow. Wedding season has gotten the best of me, but in the midst of editing photos and photoshopping pimples, I had to dust off the blog for a second to bring you a very important newsflash! OH EM GEE. First, let me spend a quick moment feeling sorry for myself and all those who struggle with food allergies. It's not only inconvenient but it's depressing at times - especially at social gatherings and holidays. OK, I think you feel bad enough that I can go on with the review now.

I'm Italian. And in 2013, when the powers that be told me I could no longer have gluten, or dairy, and about a billion other things, I had a bit of a bad reaction. It involved a lot of crying, spazzing, and laying on the floor crumpled up questioning, "Why?" While I was down there, I also questioned why my forefathers decided to settle in the Midwest as opposed to, I don't know, Hawaii or New Zealand.

I can't even right now. So good it almost makes me want to sing a Neil Diamond song if I didn't despise him. I woke up this morning with this recipe in my head. And it's not just any plain old banana nice cream, y'all. It's new and improved and awesomer. But, first we need to talk about nice cream - do you even know of what I speak?
