Paleo Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins - grain-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free and healthy | TheRoastedRoot.com | Made easily in your blender #glutenfree

What zucchini-infused foods have you been whipping up this summer? I’ve been eating quite my share! I’ve been roasting it and sauteeing it to add to every meal – my morning scramble or frittata, and my lunch and dinner bowls. And, as you can see, I’ve been baking up paleo chocolate chip zucchini muffins as well.

Zucchini bread was always one of my favorites as a kid. I have fond memories of the homemade zucchini bread my mom used to make, and loved eating a thick slice warmed up with a hefty dollop of butter.

So I took that comforting concept and formed it into a grain-free muffin version…plus added dark chocolate chips, because: YOLO. I even go the extra mile to sprinkle the muffins with sea salt, because to me, the salty-sweet combo is pure heaven on earth for the tastebuds.

Burger Bowls with Chipotle Sauce, sauerkraut, pickled beets, carrots, mixed greens and avocado - a nutritious approach to hamburgers! These bowls are a healthy dinner option and are easy to make any night of the week!

Burgers are a fairly frequent event in my household, although my approach isn’t quite traditional. While I’m definitely up for a gluten-free bun from time to time, I actually prefer my burger in a bowl with all sorts of other goodies, or in a lettuce wrap with a side of Crispy Sweet Potato Fries with Chipotle Dipping Sauce.

For this particular burger bowl, I used mixed greens, pickled beets and sauerkraut (both store-bought, but you can easily make your own at home!), carrots, avocado, green onion, and those sweet potato fries with a drizzle of chipotle sauce. This bowl is so packed with flair and flavor, you’ll want to put it on repeat.

Low-FODMAP Pesto Sauce - a garlic-free, dairy-free recipe for pesto sauce that is Low-FODMAP and vegan - perfect for those with food sensitivities

Pesto sauce adds an incredible pop of flavor to everything it touches. I’ve always been a huge fan of pesto, and have made it homemade for over a decade. I recently changed up the way I make pesto because I’m sensitive to garlic, which is a high-FODMAP food that triggers my IBS symptoms.

In addition, while fermented dairy isn’t a huge trigger for me, I do try to avoid dairy when possible. In essence, I go garlic-free and dairy-free when I make pesto, which may sound like an epic snooze fest, but rest assured, I have a formula for low-FODMAP pesto that is easy on my digestive system while still being super flavorful.
