This blueberry ice cream is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved.  Super easy.  You can make it up in about 20 minutes.  I love having an ice cream maker.

If you haven’t noticed.  It’s much cheaper to make your own when organic ice cream at the store goes for about $6 a small carton.  Plus, you don’t get any weird additives like carrageenan.

Double Chocolate Ice Cream (Vegan, Paleo)

Double Chocolate Ice Cream.  Yesterday, I asked my daughter what she wanted to help me make.  She requested chocolate ice cream.

She is a huge chocolate fan, so of course we had to make it extra chocolatey ice cream!  Homemade ice cream is so much better than store bought.  You can control the ingredients.

Quinoa Cookies (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Quinoa Cookies that are vegan and gluten free.   YES.  I am always thinking of what I can add to my cookie recipes to make them healthy enough for breakfast.

That is where these quinoa chocolate chip cookies come in.  Who wouldn’t want cookies for breakfast?  Since these quinoa cookies are packed with protein and fiber, they should keep you full for quite some time.

Quinoa is a plant based source of complete protein. Mom win.

I added chocolate chips to my cookies, but you can also use dried fruits if you like.  I think chopped dates or raisins would be great in here as well.

If you wanted to bump up the protein a little more, you could add some hemp hearts or chia seeds.  These quinoa cookies are vegan and gluten free.  I hope you enjoy them.

Blueberry Muffin Bites

I just love these blueberry muffin bites. Who doesn’t like a blueberry muffin?  They remind me of the blueberry muffin larabar.  In fact, I used similar ingredients.  My daughter loves that flavor, so I thought I would make some for her. I’m sure by now, you know that I love homemade larabars. 🙂 These no bake bites came out so good! Not only are these delicious, but they are very easy to make!
