Most of which we also share on our YouTube Channel, as well as our second instagram account, & TikTok.

5 Minute No Oat Oatmeal
I’ve been loving this oatless oatmeal recipe, and have been making it on repeat for weeks, with various toppings & mix-ins. It's a great breakfast for those looking to reduce carbs, increase protein, or just to find an alternative to oatmeal. BONUS: it takes less than 5 minutes to make!! Watch our video here: https://youtu.be/tfG7T3R6QqA&list=UULFTbe_P7qBYg0h5MUVrgFOPg This recipe will make 2-3 servings (depending on what toppings/mix-ins/how much additional protein you add).

Oven Baked Breaded Zucchini Chips
Here’s the last video of our zucchini series so far!! Hopefully these help you find new & delicious ways to use up all your zucchini. This last one is a super quick and easy oven-baked breaded zucchini chip recipe, that is so addictively crunchy on the outside, and soft & creamy on the inside (and this is coming from someone who wasn’t a big fan of zucchini - maybe I just never had it prepared this way!!?!)

Healthy Multi-Seed & Nut Bread aka “Life Changing Bread” Recipe
This was inspired by my recent visit to The Southwest Collective when I was visiting my friend back in April 2024. One day that week, her husband took the day off work, to watch their two young kids so we could go out together alone for brunch. I asked if they had a gluten-free bread option to go with my meal. The server said they had “Life Giving Bread” (but now I’m wondering if they had said Life Changing Bread and I heard them wrong). You can watch the short here:...

Here’s a delicious yet easy dairy-free/vegan no churn ice cream recipe you can make at home. NO special equipment needed. You COULD even mix this by hand with a whisk if you don’t have a hand mixer.

Paleo "Snickers" Date Bites?
Make these stuffed dates for a super-easy, delicious, paleo, Snickers-like treat. Let me know if you try these with peanuts & PB. I used a pecan, and almond butter, since we're a peanut free facility. They even kinda LOOK like snickers inside too! This is WAY better than the VIRAL TikTok date bark recipe. Even faster, AND easier, BETTER texture, and BETTER ingredient proportions = 100% tastes like a snickers, even without peanuts (we used a pecan, and almond butter). Ingredie

Mary-ified Banana Butterscotch Sticky Buns
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/9oQ9kzuH4VI I remember this recipe fondly from my childhood. Warn, pecan-filled banana sticky buns were the BEST. The original recipe was actually in the OG Bisquick Cookbook (do you remember when companies made their own cookbooks - the Robin Hood Flour one was great too!), and it called for just Bisquick and banana to make the dough. How easy is that? But, here we’ve gluten-free-dairy-free-ified it. And is actually vegan too (depending
