Lemon Coconut Cookie Cups

July 26, 2015 Melissa King 14 Comments

If you like lemon and coconut, you must try these Lemon Coconut Cookie Cups! The other day in my Facebook group, someone shared a recipe for cookie cups. Well I saw that and had to make my own version of cookie cups. These cookie cups are vegan, gluten free and grain free. They also only contain 5 simple ingredients! If you like all things lemon, then you may also like my Healthy Lemon Tarts or my Lemon Cookie Dough Bites.

It took me a couple days to be able to shoot the photo for this and Marcus kept begging to eat them! These are absolutely delicious. I used a coconut whip cream to make the filling. So yummy!

I am a huge lover of salads. I could eat them everyday. Probably why I have so many salad recipes on my blog. The latest is this Balsamic Kale Chickpea Salad.

It has all my favorite flavors in one yummy salad recipe! It takes no time at all to throw together.

This salad would be great for parties. It’s vegan and gluten free. Super healthy and tasty. This recipe calls for removing the stems from the kale. Don’t throw them away. You can save them for juicing or homemade vegetable broth.

Strawberry Shortcake Cookies

I have a new flourless cookie recipe for you guys. This time it is Strawberry Shortcake Cookies. If you like my flourless lemon cookies, you will probably love these as well. This flourless cookie recipe is super simple. All you need is 4 simple ingredients!

I used freeze dried strawberries in this recipe. However, I think you can also use fresh strawberries if you add a little extra cashew butter to balance out the liquids. These healthy cookies are vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. They are super easy to make. Our batch didn’t last the day. This recipe makes a small batch, so if you are feeding a lot of people, you may want to double the recipe.

Flourless Chai Sandwich Cookies

I have been wanting to make something chai flavored for a long time. I am so glad I decided to make these Flourless Chai Sandwich Cookies. They are quick and easy to make. I filmed a video for You Tube the other day about coconut cream. So I decided to use the coconut cream in this cookie recipe to take it to the next level. If you enjoy my other flourless cookie recipes, you will enjoy these!

These delicious cookies are vegan, gluten free and paleo. If you want to make things extra easy, you can skip the filling and just make the cookies. If you make the filling, you can either make cookie sandwiches like I did, or you can just frost the tops. Your choice. I like my chai flavoring spicy, but if you don’t you can lessen the spices a little. 🙂

Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles

June 13, 2015 Melissa King 5 Comments

I am always looking for ways to use up ripe bananas. My daughter, Meadow, and I made these Peanut Butter Banana Popsicles together. She loves helping me, and this recipe was a very easy one for her to help with. You can see her in the picture below. If you like homemade popsicles, you may also like my blueberries and cream popsicles or my strawberry popsicles.

These popsicles can easily be made nut free by using sunflower butter instead of peanut butter. I added some chocolate chips to mine, but that is a totally optional ingredient. You can just do the peanut butter and banana if you prefer. If you love my 5 minute banana ice cream, you will love these!

Quinoa Vegetable Stir Fry

May 16, 2015May 16, 2015 Melissa King 16 Comments

Stir fries are a great way to use up odds and ends in the fridge. This Quinoa Vegetable Stir Fry comes together very quickly. I always keep some cooked grains or quinoa in the fridge to add to meals like this. This quinoa stir fry recipe is very versatile. Just use it as a base to add whatever veggies you like. I happened to have a couple orange peppers sitting around, so that was my starting point. I also love broccoli in my stir fries, so I made sure to add it.

These quinoa stir fry recipe is vegan, and it can easily be gluten free if you use Bragg’s aminos or coconut aminos instead of the soy sauce.
