This is our new favorite way to eat s’mores and you won’t see us going back to the OG version anytime soon.

If you’re like me and want to hang on to summer for just a tiny bit longer, trust me when I tell that devouring a giant plate of Garlic Herb Butter Pasta with Easy Roasted Shrimp is the best way to do it.

Anytime someone asks me what I do for a living, I jokingly tell them “I share gluten free chocolate chip cookie recipes on the Internet.” I mean, this explanation is not not true, and it usually works when trying to describe my crazy job to someone I’ve just met! And now, it’s technically true. Sure, I have recipes for Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Brown Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies here on IGE, but a tried and true, classic Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe has been missing…until now....

When I think of the foods that defined my childhood in the summertime they include copious amounts of Pasta Salad, sliced tomatoes with lots of salt, drippy Bomb Pops, scoops of Dirt Cake, juicy watermelon wedges, and fat slices of Zucchini Bread slathered with butter. Anticipating the kickoff to summer, I asked my Mom to send me the Zucchini Bread recipe she used to make when we were kids then swapped the all-purpose flour called for in the recipe with gluten free all-purpose flour instead....

Published 10/31/2023 This is a favorite Fit Foodie Finds Thanksgiving side dish. You all have been making it and love it for years! One of my all-time favorite Thanksgiving recipes is green bean casserole. Growing up, my family used to make it the old-fashioned way with canned green beans, Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, and crunchy onions (or Funyuns). While there’s nothing wrong with that version, we wanted to give this classic Thanksgiving side a Fit Foodie upgrade with healthy, better-for-you ingredients....

I’ve officially got my sights set on fall! Bring on orchard visits, big bowls of chili, cozy sweatshirts, and of course, college football. The University of Iowa has their first game this weekend and I already have big plans to crack open a gluten-free cider to enjoy whilst cheering on the Hawkeyes, saving one to make this incredible 1 skillet Maple-Dijon-Cider Pork Tenderloin afterwards. Whether you make this 30 minute pan roasted pork tenderloin as a weekend treat or quick weeknight dinner, just promise me you’ll make it!...

Published 10/18/2020 • Updated 10/20/2023 While roasted pecans may seem fancy, they’re wildly easy (and quick) to make at home! Our roasted pecans recipe features wholesome ingredients and is refined sugar free. Instead of traditional granulated sugar or brown sugar, we use pure maple syrup for cozy warmth and sweetness. The pecans are coated in a mixture of maple syrup and cinnamon, sprinkled with sea salt, and roast in the oven for just 10 minutes....

Let it be known that I’m not a huge tuna salad sandwich lover. I think the last time I had one was when the sub shop I used to frequent in college was out of turkey and it was the next best option, or something. It’s not that I don’t like tuna, but the thought of it combined with globs of mayonnaise, pickles, and celery just doesn’t really do it for me....

This post is sponsored by Freschetta pizza. A couple weeks ago Ben and I took the boys out for pizza on a Friday night, versus making it home like we usually do. Big mistake! Usually I’m fine hanging out if we’re eating at a restaurant with no GF options, like the one we were at, but pizza? PIZZA?! The cheese, the toppings…did I mention the cheese? The scent wafting from Lincoln’s pizza was enough to make a grown man cry....

We dug… We finally conquered my raised vegetable garden today! More on that in a sec… :) First, hi! How was your weekend? This was the first weekend around here that really felt like summer, and I spent most of it outdoors, twirling in the sunshine. Starting with attending opening day of the Downtown Farmer’s Market on Saturday morning with my Mom. It was a ZOO with 40,000+ people visiting more than 250 vendors, but I feel like this officially kicks off summer!...

Published 12/9/2023 • Updated 11/5/2024 What makes our beef tenderloin roast extra special is the crispy crust that is created when searing. It’s also made with fingerling potatoes which roast in a mixture of melted butter, mayo, sea salt, chives, and rosemary for a flavorful side dish that perfectly complements the tender beef. This recipe was inspired by a meal I had on a Minnesota cabin getaway. Our host, Joe, made us a delicious beef tenderloin and it absolutely blew us away....

We have a few secrets up our sleep to make sure they come out so flavorful and extra moist (re: pickle juice and butter)....

While my husband and I have the same views on important topics like family, religion, money management, and hugging, we have to laugh at how opposite we are regarding other parts of our lives. He loves to skateboard, while I prefer to play tennis. I’m a coffee drinking early bird, and he’s a hip hop listening night owl. He hates heights, while I want to jump out of airplanes. Fly/drive....

While growing up, my Mom always used to keep sprouts in the refrigerator. Sometimes we enjoyed them as a chaat or sometimes she used to make it with nuts. I liked sprouts either way, but now I like them more in a Buddha Bowl. In India, there are some chaat corners where they serve sprouted green Lentils Chaat. First, they boil them in turmeric water, and later add onion & tomatoes to it....
