Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes

August 28, 2015 Melissa King 6 Comments

Whenever I have veggies that look on the verge of going bad, I roast them. That is exactly what I did to these Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes. These are so delicious you guys! You can throw them in zoodles or regular pasta, add them to stir fries or just eat as a side dish. They are also good for homemade pizza. One of the easiest recipes you will ever make.

I haven’t tried freezing these, so I am not sure if you could. If anyone tries, please let me know. I will be having these today with some avocado toast. Yummy!!

Balsamic Sweet Potato Pasta

I know we have all heard of zucchini pasta, but have you tried sweet potato pasta? You have got to try this Balsamic Sweet Potato Pasta with Caramelized Onions.

Quite possibly one of the most delicious meals I have made in a while. It was one of those meals I threw together as I was trying to use up some odds and ends in the kitchen. It was so good, that I had to share it with you!

I used a spiralizer to make the pasta. I have the Paderno. It’s one of the only spiralizers that can do hard veggies like sweet potatoes and beets.

Sweet potato pasta is life changing! You have to try it. This recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo. Super easy to whip up too.

Lemon Coconut Cookie Cups

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!

Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Bites

Vegan Strawberry Cheesecake Bites. I just love this time of year. All my favorite fruits are in season. I made these Vegan and Gluten Free Strawberry Cheesecake Bites the other day and they came out delicious!

They are a super cinch to make, but they look fancy. These would be the perfect dessert for any summer party. I love that they are perfectly proportioned.

Just the right bite of sweetness. I made mine in muffin cups, but you can also just make one big cheesecake if you prefer.

If you also love strawberry desserts, you may also like my Strawberry Creme Truffles or my Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp.

These vegan strawberry cheesecake bites are vegan, gluten free and paleo. They don’t take much time to whip up at all. I also think any berry will work in this.

One helpful hint for this recipe: if you buy the cashews in pieces vs whole, they will be much cheaper. 🙂 You could also drizzle a little of my 3 ingredient chocolate over the top of these. If you do that, then these will have to be stored in the freezer.

Avocados with Mango Salsa (Vegan)

July 6, 2015February 27, 2018 Melissa King 11 Comments

You guys! These Avocados with Mango Salsa might just be the most delicious things I have ever eaten. That is saying a lot!!

You all know I love avocado recipes, so I know this would be a winner. If you like my Pineapple Mango Salsa, then you will love this too. It’s the perfect dish for summer. No cooking required!

This recipe fits all diets. It’s gluten free, vegan and even paleo. If you wanted to add some extra protein, I think black beans would go well in here also.

Or even quinoa. I thought they were just perfect this way. I am a wimp with spicy food, but if you like things spicy, you can also add jalapenos. My husband would love that!

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.
