Gluten AND Dairy Free Calzone

A few weekends ago, I wanted a pizza.  No.  Strike that.  I NEEDED PIZZA.  The craving had been building ever since we moved and walked past a Giordanos on our way to get dinner one night.  The smell that wafted out of there wrapped around me and wouldn’t let me go.  I had to have pizza and even seriously considered going through severe gastrointestinal discomfort just to have it.

But then I remembered the last time I had dairy.  It was NOT a pretty picture and while I can laugh about it now (who wouldn’t laugh about spending the entire night on the toilet?!) it isn’t an experience I’m anxious to have again.  Gluten & Dairy Free Calzones | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Lemony Mung Bean Soup

Is it just me or does mung bean sound gross and weird?  I bet it’s because it rhymes with dung.  And who wants to eat a dung bean?  No one.  No one wants to eat anything with dung in the name.

Unless you’re a dung beetle, but I digress. Lemony Mung Bean Soup | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Chicken & Rice Casserole…Without the Chicken or Rice

Smokey Roasted Chickpeas

*I already have a recipe for Roasted Chickpeas on my blog, but I revamped the recipe and pictures here. 

Chickpeas are a pretty versatile legume.  You can add them to curries or dals as is, mash them up and get hummus, or you could roast them into crispy little snacks.  I’ve become a little obsessed with the latter. Smokey Roasted Chickpeas | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading

Zoodle Cookie Bars

Yup, I’m turning zoodles, or zucchini noodles if you prefer, into a dessert.  It sounds really weird and I have doubted myself as I was doing it, but the end result is actually pretty tasty. Zoodle Cookie Bars | Life Healthfully Lived Continue reading
