Gluten-Free Quinoa Tabouleh

May 9, 2018 2 Comments

   


Hello all! It’s been a while since my last post, hasn’t it? One month…two months…over a year!

I could write a long, lengthy entry as to why I’ve been AWOL from this blog, but I think it can be summed up into these two main reasons.

1.aMy family got a dog.

Meet Amy. She’s our sweet golden-labrador-border collie mix. She’s brought us so much joy and happiness, but has also taken up a lot of time and energy.

Between getting her trained, making sure she gets enough exercise, and keeping up with my studies, there just wasn’t any time left for creating quality recipes, blog posts, and photos. More dog time = less blog time.

P.S. Amy is already a year and a few months now, but I wanted to share her puppy pictures because they are just so darn cute!

2.aI lost my inspiration, and I fell down the dangerous rabbit hole of comparison. They say that comparison is the thief of joy, and I had many moments with this blog and its Instagram where this statement resonated very strongly. I felt like I had to keep up with all the other food bloggers and got caught up in follower and like counts. I was no longer blogging for the right reasons (the right reasons for me that is), and I knew I needed to step back from this site and social media in order to find them. This break was honestly the best thing I could do for myself, my blog, and the love I have for cooking, food photography, and creating recipes.

Now, enough personal talk, you’re here for the quinoa tabouleh recipe, aren’t you?

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Easter Eggs

Everyone knows that you need to have chocolate at Easter (if there were no Lindt bunnies, did Easter really happen?). Nevertheless, I think these gluten free carrot cake Easter eggs are a must as well! I mean, carrot cake just seems like such a natural choice in an Easter menu.

I love baking with coconut flour. Coconut flour is loaded with fibre and heart-healthy fat. Plus, it’s gluten-free, nut-free, and grain-free, so pretty much everyone can enjoy it!

Fragrant fried garlic, soft juicy mushrooms, tender sautéed kale, and bright flavourful pesto make for a truly healthy dish that comes together in only 15 minutes. It’s quick, easy, and delicious. Feel free to add in extra protein to make this recipe even more nutritious.

Easy Homemade Baked Falafels

Falafels and I haven’t always been friends. Even when I was a vegetarian, I couldn’t get into falafels. Every one I tried was often too dry or tasted like cardboard. Sadly, it was looking a lot like the falafel train was going to leave without me. I wanted to like falafels, I really did. They’re…
