October 29, 2018 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 48 Comments

Your favorite party dip transformed into a creamy dairy-free pasta bake! This Baked Creamy Vegan Gluten-Free Spinach Artichoke Pasta is top 8 allergy-free, full of veggies, and cheesy flavor! It’s a cozy recipe for an easy weeknight family dinner that the kids will love too!

Spinach artichoke dip is something I always associate with my mom. She was always the one who jumped at any chance you could indulge in that creamy, cheesy, hot dip. It was something she would always order as an appetizer at restaurants or dig into first at parties and gatherings. Honestly, it was never something I chose to dip my chips into. I much preferred something like this, but alas, it grew on me as I got older (and ironically could no longer have it!) So I took it upon myself to remake spinach artichoke dip into a full on meal! One that’s gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free; most importantly dairy-free!Read More

Mom’s Best Classic Gluten-Free Vegan Baked Ziti (Soy-Free)

October 24, 2018 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 34 Comments

Our family’s favorite famous comfort food recipe, remade! Mom’s Best Classic Gluten-Free Vegan Baked Ziti without the dairy, but still under 5 ingredients! This make-ahead “cheesy” pasta dinner casserole is soy-free too, super easy, delicious, and baked in 20 minutes! Great as a freezer meal or having leftovers throughout the week!

My mom didn’t cook things from scratch much. She was more of a “throw these chicken nuggets in the toaster oven and this packet of rice in a pot” kind of cook. Every so often she would get the urge to make her “famous” baked ziti recipe. While this Italian pasta casserole only needed 4 ingredients (she used jarred sauce), it still tasted like home-cooked comforting love! While I grew up eating her baked ziti, she and I both can’t indulge in the cheesy carby comfort food anymore…until now.Read More

An easy meatless version of a classic comfort food dinner! These Cheesy Vegan Gluten-Free Orzo Stuffed Peppers are top 8 allergy-free, easy to prepare, hearty, healthy, not to mention delicious! A family-approved weeknight meal you can even make ahead of time; loaded with cheesy, zesty, Greek & Italian flavors!

I’m not going to go digging through over 1000 posts, but I’ve told you, my Strength and Sunshine readers, about THE stuffed peppers, before. In the Strength and Sunshine family, these orzo stuffed peppers simply go by “THE Stuffed Peppers”. An iconic family favorite I and my chef skills are known for. This recipe has now been made countless times, starting many years before celiac disease and diet changes. Let’s just say, these stuffed peppers needed a “rebrand” and redo to make them Strength and Sunshine approved. While it’s not the original recipe I’ll be sharing with you today, this allergy-free version is just as tasty and a smidge healthier!Read More
