Perhaps you are vegan, vegetarian, dairy free, or just wish to avoid processed ingredients. If so, you have to try this healthier version of ice cream. This is a rich coconut ice cream recipe that is naturally gluten-free. Rather than using heavy whipping cream or half & half, this recipe calls for all full-fat gluten free coconut milk. Coconut milk makes the perfect substitute for cream and eggs in ice cream recipes. If you can tolerate eggs, you can reduce the coconut milk by a 1/2 cup for every 3 eggs added. When you roll ice cream into balls and then coconut flakes, they look like snowballs. Enjoy! Continue reading “Coconut Milk Ice Cream Recipe”
Do you enjoy cornbread? Do you enjoy donuts? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you’ll enjoy these gluten free hush puppies, even more. These babies are delicious served with just about anything. However, try pairing them with seafood or something spicy for a southern flare. They are moist and make a wonderful snack, as well. Though they contain plenty of onion, the onion is sauteed first to sweeten them up. This avoids the use of tons of sugar. Ahhhh…just amazing! Continue reading “Gluten Free Hush Puppies”

Your desserts will appear as if they do contain dairy. A friend of mine tasted it, and said, “It tastes like Hershey’s Syrup. I’d never know.” Enjoy!

Nature’s Path sent me a couple of boxes of their new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in Creamy Coconut flavor. I don’t usually enjoy coconut in my oatmeal; therefore, I had to find another use for it. I love coconut in granola and used it for that. I also usually use plenty of superfoods in my granola. This was so easy to make because Qi’a Hot Oatmeal already contains many of them. This was my first experiment making vegan granola, though, as many vegans do not consume honey. I enjoyed it and hope you do, as well. Continue reading “Gluten Free Vegan Granola Recipe”
The other day, I needed a fast, healthy, light lunch. I waited too long to eat lunch and didn’t want to ruin my dinner. My first thought was protein shakes, but I didn’t have my go to fruit, banana. Being out of them, I reached for some frozen blueberries instead. But how was I going to get full on those? Well, I found a fulfilling source of protein, oatmeal. Oats are the highest protein gluten free grain. I used a packet of Nature’s Path new Qi’a Hot Oatmeal in the Creamy Coconut flavor. The coconut flavor was overpowered by the blueberries, but it still tasted wonderful and was the perfect low-cal, healthy choice. The added grains, seeds and fiber makes it more flavorful and healthier. Plus I love anything that has a bunch of ingredients in one package. Meanwhile, you can use bananas, strawberries or your favorite fruit. Enjoy and stay healthy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Oatmeal Protein Shakes Recipes (Dairy Free)”

Nature’s Path just came out with three flavors of their new Qi’a™ Superfoods Hot Oatmeal. Flavors include Creamy Coconut, Superseeds & Grains and Cinnamon Pumpkin Seed. I love the Superseeds & Grains because it has a bit of crunch. It contains rolled oats instead of quick-cooking oats like so many brands. They asked me to create a recipe using my favorite flavor for their Pinterest Oatmeal Month (January) contest and here it is, a gluten free vegan oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good that when I made them (just before dinner), I ate three and couldn’t eat my dinner. It was one of those nights…eat dessert for dinner and a small dinner for dessert. Mind you, I am not on a dairy-free or vegan diet, yet they still met my requirements for a chewy cookie. Enjoy!
Note: These are easy to make because the oatmeal packs contain six ingredients, with less to purchase and measure. Continue reading “Chewy Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Superfoods”
