My name is Amanda and welcome to my blog! I created this as an outlet for healthy recipe creation while searching for a sustainable and balanced life. Follow my journey and together we can encourage and cheer each other on!
Teriyaki Style Grilled Chicken
I used coconut sugar and a little bit of honey as the sweetener for a sweet and savory marinade and sauce. The sauce creates a flavorful teriyaki style glaze that is sticky when applied to the chicken still on the grill. Serve with some rice and vegetables as a delicious dinner or make teriyaki chicken skewers and serve as an appetizer at your next event. Adult and kid approved!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chewy chocolate chip cookies made with oats and spiced with a bit of cinnamon. Gluten free and refined sugar free, these cookies are sprinkled with sea salt to balance the sweetness and enhance all the delicious flavors.
Creamy Cilantro Lemon Dressing
Made creamy with protein packed Greek yogurt, this versatile dressing is perfect to for salad or as a sandwich spread. The bold flavors of lemon, cilantro and garlic make this great as a marinade and can even be brushed on salmon before baking! Use it as a healthy condiment for turkey burgers or as a creamy bright dressing for a pasta salad. Having this simple nutritious dressing on hand is a great way to add tons of flavor fast to any dish.
Crunchy Malt Cereal (Grape Nuts)
If you love Grape Nuts, then this recipe is for you! Making this cereal from scratch allows you to control the size and texture so it turns out perfect! The malted barley flavor is so delicious on top of yogurt and gives that crunchy granola texture we all crave. You could enjoy as a cereal paired with your favorite milk, but I think it would be more fun as an ice cream topping! Malted crunchy sundaes… yes please!
Maple Cinnamon Granola
Packed with whole grains, antioxidants, and omega 3 fatty acids; this gluten free granola is nourishing and energizing! Puffed millet gives a super crispy texture like a healthy version of rice krispies, while real maple syrup and cinnamon gives this granola a slight sweetness perfect to top your yogurt or smoothie bowl.
Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake
Cheese cake and pumpkin pie combines for this decadent holiday treat! The crust is made from my gluten free graham crackers keeping this entire dessert gluten free and refined sugar free. This cheesecake is several layers of flavor with a cheesecake layer, a pumpkin pie cheesecake layer and finished with a maple whipped topping. I recommend making this simple recipe the day before serving as it needs at least 8 hours of refrigeration time.
Gluten Free Graham Crackers
So easy to make and they taste surprisingly just like store bought graham crackers! It’s all about the toasted oat and cinnamon flavor for these crispy and crumbly treats. Have these as a snack or blend them up to make a graham cracker crust for cheesecake, yum!
Crispy Coconut Shrimp with Sriracha Dipping Sauce
This coconut shrimp is gluten-free, keto and incredibly easy to make! Pan fried in heart healthy avocado oil to make it extra crispy!
Banana Carrot Cake Muffins
Carrot cake and banana bread merge for this nutritious muffin that is packed with quality ingredients. Soft, chewy and crunchy make this such a satisfying breakfast with just a touch of sweetness and warm spices also making this a great anytime sweet treat.
