Pecan Caramel Truffles (Vegan, Gluten Free)

The holidays are approaching fast and now it’s time to share all kind of sweet treats.  Today I have some Pecan Caramel Truffles that are out of this world.

This was originally going to be a recipe for energy bites, but I thought they were a bit too rich.  Much better suited as a dessert.  This healthy truffle recipe is a cinch to make and it will be a hit with anyone.

Caramel Apple Oatmeal (Vegan and Gluten Free)

Caramel Apple Oatmeal is the recipe for today.  If you have been following this blog for awhile, you know I am a huge fan of oats.  Overnight Oats, Oatmeal Cookies, Slow Cooker Oatmeal or Energy Bites made with oats.

This slow cooker healthy oatmeal is not only easy, but it tastes awesome too.  If anyone tries it in the Instant Pot, please let me know the results in the comments section of this post.

Red Pepper Eggplant Pasta

My husband Marcus is very good at whipping up meals with whatever we have on hand.  The other day he made this Red Pepper Eggplant Pasta, but didn’t measure any of the ingredients.  So he made it a second time and measured everything out so we could share it with you guys.  Some of Marcus’s creations have ended up being the most popular recipes on my site.  A few examples are the Sweet Potato Chili and the Peanut Noodle Stir Fry.

This is super simple to whip up, and you will have meals all week long.  We used gluten free pasta in ours, but I think regular pasta will also work.

Chocolate Coffee Cookies (Grain Free)

Chocolate Coffee Cookies.  The other day I made some Grain Free Sugar Cookies.  I was so pleased with the way they came out, that I decided to make a chocolate version. Since chocolate and coffee go so well together, I made this new recipe. Coffee cookies.

I knew it was going to be a winner, when I couldn’t stop eating the batter!  That is one thing I love about vegan cookies.  The dough is completely safe to eat! 🙂

Spaghetti Squash Pasta

I just love my Instant Pot.  Super easy to use and a big time saver.  I used it to cook the squash for this Spaghetti Squash Pasta recipe. Have you tried spaghetti squash?  It’s awesome for making squash pasta for those that do not have a spiralizer.  This recipe is super easy to make. If you don’t have an instant pot, I will write directions for the oven as well.

I added some pepitas to mine for a little extra protein.  This recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved.  I bet chickpeas would be a nice addition in here as well.
