Heyo! What are you up to this weekend? I’m up in Tahoe per usual, putzing around on trails and enjoying nature.

Have you made the Paleo Strawberry Banana Bread I showed you this week? Or the Coconut Flour Zucchini Muffins? Both were a huge hit with my family! They are a great way of enjoying strawberry and zucchini season before they come to a close 😀

Coming up on the menu this week: Sheet Pan Cabbage and Tempeh, Prebiotic and Probiotic Macro Bowls, Crispy Baked Tacos with Seasoned Cauliflower, Indian Ratatouille, and Asian Peanut Noodles.

Enjoy this week’s healthy eats!

Cod salad with basil-walnut pesto is so easy to make and a quick and delicious dinner that can be prepared any night of the week. This healthy recipe is all-things low-carb, low-FODMAP, paleo, keto, and Whole30.

As we all know, I’m a major salmon lover. Just check out my extensive salmon archives! 

In spite of the fact that I can put my Teriyaki Salmon Bowls, Mediterranean Salmon, and Pesto Salmon in Parchment Paper on repeat over and over, I’ve made it my mission to branch out to the other fishies.

Enter: Cod.

It’s no salmon, but it’ll do 😉

What I love about cod is it absorbs flavor of marinades really well, as it has a subtle, buttery flavor. For this recipe, I whipped up an easy coconut milk-based marinade using full-fat canned coconut milk, fresh basil, ginger, and lemongrass.

The result is magnificent! If you have your own favorite marinade, you can always whip that up instead, or just drizzle the fish with some avocado oil and lemon juice and a sprinkle of sea salt and call it bueno.

Serving the cod salad  with cherry tomatoes, avocado, and roasted pumpkin seeds, along with a homemade basil-walnut pesto as the dressing takes this fishuation (<- get it? fish…situation…buhdumching…??) up another 17k notches.

So let’s do it already!

Vegan Strawberry Scones made gluten-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free! This easy scone recipe makes a great breakfast or snack.

My love for scones goes way, way back. In fact, the first recipe I ever posted on this blog was Almond Flour Ginger Scones with Honey Orange Frosting ..Followed years later by Raspberry Vegan Scones, Gluten-Free Maple Walnut Scones , and Vegan Pumpkin Scones with Coffee Glaze.

WELL, recently I seem to have gone on another scone bender, posting Paleo Vegan Lemon Poppy Seed Scones, Paleo Cranberry Orange Vegan Scones, and Paleo Pecan Chocolate Chip Scones all within the last few months.

Suffice it to say, the love for scones is real. I always make them gluten-free and dairy-free. Most of the time, I go egg-free for a vegan version AND often grain-free for a paleo version. Basically, we’ve got scone options.

This recipe for Vegan Strawberry Scones is yet another ultra tasty and super shareable recipe. It’s great for lazy weekend mornings, for packing up and taking with you on hikes or road trips, or for bringing to work to impress your workmates. 

So let’s get after them!

Paleo vegan pancakes that are grain-free, dairy-free, and made with almond flour. This healthy gluten-free pancake recipe is made easily in your blender and results in fluffy, moist pancakes.

If you’ve been a long-time follower, it’s no mystery that my Almond Flour Pancakes have been one of my most popular recipes of all time. 

Because many of you have an egg allergy or follow a vegan lifestyle, I thought it only appropriate to re-make my classic almond flour pancakes into a vegan version. 

The swap for eggs couldn’t be any easier – I simply whip up two “flax eggs” using ground flax seed and water as a replacement.

Serve these beauties up with a dollop of vegan “butter” spread and pure maple syrup (or regular butter if you can do dairy), and dive into the fluffiest, moistest egg-free pancakes that ever did exist!

Energy balls with dried blueberries, dark chocolate, almonds, walnuts, dates, pumpkin seeds, flax seed oil, and more. This easy and nutritious snack recipe is a great low-sugar alternative to packaged snacks.

You may have noticed a theme with my snacks section of this site. Let’s face it – they’re mostly nut-based and they’re mostly balls. The  amount of snack recipes I share in comparison to main dishes is pretty dismal by virtue of the fact that I’m not a big snacker.

But when it comes to nuts, seeds, and dried fruit all balled up together in an energy bite? Sign me up.

When I head out of town for a long road trip or go for a long jaunt in the mountains, I’ll often snag some balls in case I have to go more than a few hours between meals. I don’t rely on store-bought snacks, as I find they contain too much sugar and/or contain ingredients I try to avoid.

For this rendition of energy balls, I used all superfood ingredients to generate a ball that is jam packed with healthy fat, antioxidants, minerals, and all sorts of health benefits. PLUS they taste like blueberry chocolatey goodness, which is a major win in my book.

Let’s chat about superfood.
