I am pretty excited about this one. After many rounds of testing, I’ve finalized this casserole recipe to be both healthy and comforting. I can no longer tolerate dairy (as is often the case with celiac), which tbh is one of the things I miss given that I come from an Italian family where Pecorino…

Frozen Chocolate Banana Pops
With the warm, beautiful Spring we’ve been having here, I needed to make something FUN that reminds me of summer. I decided on these frozen chocolate banana pops, which are super easy, require minimal ingredients, and keep as a sweet treat in your freezer whenever you need them. And while I love eating them, I…
5 Ways to Move Yourself to Move (during quarantine and always!)
Chances are, your normal exercise routine was disrupted by quarantine, and if you’re finding it hard to gather the motivation to work out at home, you’re not alone. It took me a couple weeks to adjust, figure out what I needed, and what was actually going to work for me (even on rainy days when…
Iron Woman Tacos
One of the most common nutrient deficiencies among celiacs, especially female celiacs, is iron. Because celiac damages the part of the small intestine where vitamins and minerals are primarily absorbed, many of us will struggle with low iron levels.

Easy Roast Chicken
As I recently wrote on my Instagram, when I was first starting out in therapeutic cooking and nutrition, I was quite intimidated by the idea of making roast chicken. There is so much fear-mongering about roasting a whole bird (What if it’s too dry? What’s if it’s undercooked? What if it’s overcooked?). It’s enough to…

Simple Salmon Avocado Dip
Happy 2020 everyone! The beginning of the year always brings so much talk about detoxes, cleanses, 30-day challenges, etc. There can be aspects of the conversation and the simple opportunity to have a fresh start that can be very positive, and it’s wonderful to see the rush of inspiration and excitement in renewing our relationship…
Sweet Potato Lime Bars
Don’t get me wrong, I love pumpkin pie. But sometimes I want something a little different. These bars have a similar pumpkin pie “feel” but jazz it up with notes of coconut and lime. They are also a completely dairy-free, refined sugar-free and gluten-free dessert, something that can be difficult to find at many holiday…
