Homemade Granola Bars

Homemade Granola Bars

Granola bars are one of my favorite snacks and make a quick breakfast. This recipe is missing the usual main ingredient, oats.  Although some oats are gluten free, many are not.  So this eliminates any risk of consuming gluten and is also Paleo friendly. I

I’d love to take the credit for this amazing idea, but it came from the lovely Martha Stewart.  Her version kept showing up in my Pinterest feed and I knew I had to come up with my own rendition. The crust is basically a giant 

Roasted Cabbage

Roasted Cabbage

Most of the time when you think of cabbage, you think of a boiled, soggy vegetable or a crunchy slaw.  Well here, I am going to share with you my favorite way to prepare it.

I’ve never been big on cabbage, I will admit.  However, I tend to love pretty much any vegetable once it is roasted.  And this is a perfect example.  Something about the roasting process brings out the natural  sweetness and delicate flavor of the cabbage.

So here is my super simple recipe for roasted cabbage.  A quick and easy side dish, for any meal, not just St. Patrick’s Day!

Roasted Cabbage

  • 1 head of cabbage, sliced (about 1/2 inch is good)
  • olive oil
  • kosher salt
  • pepper
  1. Preheat oven to 400.
  2. Separate cabbage slices and toss in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Spread into a single layer on a sheet tray (you will probably need 2 trays for a whole cabbage)
  4. Roast for 20-30 minutes, depending on how caramelized you like your veggies.  I like mine with nice color.
  5. Serve warm.

Have you tried my Shepherd’s Pie?  I think I will be making that for St. Patrick’s Day this year :)  What are you planning to make?

Almond Flour Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

Almond Flour Pancakes with Blueberry Sauce

These almond flour pancakes are surprisingly light and fluffy. I know that several of my recipes use a combination of almond and coconut flour, however I thought it might be nice to add a pancake recipe using only one flour. Normally when you think of

These are just fun to make.  Mind you, my piping skills are a little rusty since I haven’t actively been making and decorating cakes.  But you get the general idea.  You can fill them with whipped cream, coconut whipped cream or dairy free vanilla pudding.
