Super simple (and seriously delicious) vegan, gluten-free bread

Super simple (and seriously delicious) vegan, gluten-free bread

I have a serious obsession with baked goods (like a serious one. It’s kind of a problem). For me, it’s a texture thing— actually, most of my cravings are based on food texture. Now that I’m on a gluten-free diet, I’ve been looking for ways to find that soft, chewy texture in a sans-gluten form. This bread is it! It’s super simple with just a few ingredients, made with real, healthy whole grains and seeds (not nutritionally deficient processed flours) and it is SO FREAKING GOOD. You can doctor it up to make it sweet or savory or just have it plain with ghee or butter and little sea salt. Shout out to my friend Adriana for delivering me this perfect recipe that is straight after my gluten-free heart.

If it’s chilly outside (and, yes, it still feels like winter in SF), chances are the soup is on in my house! So, you guys are going to see a LOT of soup recipes in here. Sorrynotsorry? I like to make one hearty soup each week, usually on Sunday, so that I have it on hand to cover a few nights of dinner. Cook it once and eat it twice, or even better, five or six times! Because that means less time cooking and more time doing whatever else you love. (I also happen to love eating leftovers!)

Soup. Yep, it’s basically my favorite food, as those of you who’ve ever sat at my dinner table already know! I’ve been finding myself wanting to seriously get back to the nutrition basics lately, and soup is one of those basics for me. Super filling but also easy to digest, and so many ways to create the tip up your bowl and drink the last drop deliciousness. Since so many peeps have asked me for my recipes during my Healthy Bites years and beyond,  I’m going to start sharing more of them here, starting with this one. I’ve been told it’s the best soup ever. But you’ll have to make it and see for yourself. Happy souping and slurping (because one usually leads to the other).

My hands-down most requested recipe: Garlic kale salad

My hands-down most requested recipe: Garlic kale salad

Kale, doctored up my favorite way! Whether I’ve hosted friends for a dinner party or delivered food to hundreds of meal delivery clients, this super simple, super health recipe has easily been the most sought after over the years. Unlike other salad recipes, you can make and dress this in advance and it actually gets better (and doesn’t get soggy!) the longer you let it soak up all the lemony garlicky goodness. Just don’t plan on kissing anyone after you eat it. But the garlic breath is worth it, I promise!
