Gluten-free Blueberry Oat Crumble

December 28, 2016 by maximilianesmith Leave a Comment

 

I miss fresh berries. I really do! I already am anticipating the return of my favorite fruits and other produce, that are only available in the summer months. However, I’m very grateful for all of the frozen berries one can buy at the local health store year-round! My parents had fixed something similar to this blueberry crumble following a Tosca Reno recipe a year ago. I couldn’t find the same recipe, when my mom was invited to an outing with friends, so I found a similar recipe and changed several ingredients (since I didn’t have the time nor the will to run to the grocery store to buy the necessary ingredients).

Fall Flavors: Pumpkin Cranberry Protein Bites

October 6, 2016 by maximilianesmith Leave a Comment

Yesterday I ate 10 protein bites. It wasn’t exactly ideal, especially considering how stuffed I was, but they certainly were worth it! Cranberries and pumpkin work so well together! I’m not a huge fan of pumpkin, but this worked perfectly. They generally had me thinking pumpkin cranberry cookies, scones, etc…my mind just goes to all sorts of places in food land! Next time I’ll be trying chocolate chips instead of cranberries, for a dessert-like treat.

Apples, apples, apples! They’re everywhere this season and in all different varieties, too! A staple snack of mine was apple slices with almond butter, but then I realized a perfect healthy dessert or treat would be a dessert “nacho” recipe made with sliced apples! Yes, I’m well aware that they’re not quite what others would consider nachos, but they’re awesome in their own way. So if you’re craving a dessert/snack/post-workout meal, grab some apples from your local grocery store (or your fridge) and get going! 🙂

Tropical Strawberry Smoothie

Even though it’s fall, I do like some tropical flavors every now and then. There’s only so much fall-flavor you can pack into the two months. Do I love fall-themed foods and drinks? You better believe it! Do I want to have an apple pie smoothie everyday for 60 days? As much as I love it, I really need some variety. I was inspired by a Facebook post of a friend of mine who had made a similar smoothie, but jazzed it up a bit.

If I have one guilty pleasure (besides sweets of course), it’s bacon. Recently I found a paleo no-sugar added turkey bacon that takes the guilt out of guilty pleasure. So when my mom fixed these, I was all on board! They’re simple to make, quick, and require few ingredients. Enjoy 1-2 as a breakfast with some greens and you have a complete meal! If you have younger siblings, who beg you to teach them how to cook (like my brother does), then this is also the perfect fun activity to help ease younger children in to the world of cooking.

Delicious Veggie Dips

veggie dips

 

I eat a lot of veggies, really I do! But the one thing I can never get myself to do is to eat veggies raw. Fruit? No problem! Veggies? No chance! I don’t know if it’s the taste of uncooked vegetables or the texture, but I just prefer them stir fried in olive oil with seasoning. However I do know that there are significant nutritional benefits to munching on some carrot or celery sticks. The only way one can get me to do that though is with dips. Unfortunately due to a dairy intolerance, ranch dip is out of the question. Guacamole is great for every once in a while, but some variety is appreciated!

2-Ingredient Strawberry Banana Ice Cream

Strawberry and Banana- a match made in heaven! For as long as I can remember, I’ve been loving that mix of flavours. Strawberry Banana Julius was the only thing I’d order from Orange Julius (I still have no idea what the other ones taste like!). And before we stopped eating dairy, I used to mix strawberry flavoured yogurt with banana flavoured yogurt. But the childhood memories don’t stop there! Kefir, fruit salad, ice cream…you name it, I ate it! At least if strawberry banana was the flavour combination…

As Easter has come to an end, it is getting warmer and warmer, and staying that way. Summer is around the corner, and with summer come the fresh berries, tropical fruits, and many other delicious foods! To me, summer is all about eating fresh whole foods, and eating light. Kale salads, juices, smoothie bowls, and fruit salad are what my meals mainly consist of in the summer, and I love it!
