June 9, 2016June 9, 2016 Melissa King 2 Comments

Have you tried a spiralizer yet? It’s truly life changing. You can make so many delicious creations with veggie noodles. In fact, this recipe comes to you from the cookbook, Nourishing Noodles – Spiralize Nearly 100 Plant Based Recipes for Zoodles, Ribbons, and Vegetable Spirals. The book is written and photographed by Chris Anca of the blog, Tales of a Kitchen.

This book has it all. Tips on spiralizing, breakfasts, appetizers, soups, raw entrees, and even desserts! All of them are beautifully photographed. Some of the other recipes I am looking forward to trying are: Quick Miso Noodle Soup, Cucumber and Sprouts Thai Noodle Salad, and the Coconut Cinnamon Carrot Cakes.

I love lemons. They can brighten up the flavors in any recipe, both sweet and savory. From ice creams to salads, lemons can definitely shine. Lemon is truly the star in these Flourless Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies. They are bursting with lemony flavors that do not disappoint! I also highly recommend making my lemon blueberry cookies!

It took me 2 tries to get this one right, but I am so glad I did! These healthy cookies are vegan, gluten free AND grain free! I wanted to eat the batter straight from the food processor. Okay, well maybe I did eat some of it haha!

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 lover of all things lemon. How about you? I have had it on my mind to make these Flourless Lemon Cookies for a while now. I am so glad I did. They are super easy and didn’t even last a day at our house!

All you need is 4 simple ingredients and less than 20 minutes! If you like flourless recipes, you may also like my Super Moist Flourless Brownies or my Flourless Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Not only are these healthy cookies flourless, but they also contain no refined sugar. These cookies are vegan, gluten free and even paleo approved. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do! If you need a nut free version, you can try using sunflower butter.

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins are one of my favorites. I have been wanting to make some poppy seed muffins for awhile now. The first batch I made were slightly burned, but this second batch came out great.

They are light and fluffy. My daughter almost ate the entire batch herself! Even the burned ones. These lemon poppy seed muffins are vegan and gluten free.

If you are a lover of all things lemon, then you will love these healthy muffins! I used oat flour in mine, but you can also use gluten free all purpose.

If you have no issues with gluten, I think spelt flour would be nice as well. If you like these, then you may also like my lemon blueberry muffins or my lemony cookie dough bites.
