January 30, 2019 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 26 Comments

An easy and veggie-packed homemade hummus recipe with standout color and flavor! This Pickled Beetroot Hummus is gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, and sesame-free! With fresh beets providing the vibrant color and zesty pickling seasonings, this hummus can be used for more than just a healthy snack!

I’ve always believed that hummus should be a staple food you keep in the house! It’s the perfect snack, condiment, spread, and appetizer for any situation! Sure, classic hummus is delicious and easy to whip up with just a can of chickpeas, but amping up the flavor (and color) always makes it a bit more special! Take this Pickled Beetroot Hummus for example. Just by the look of it, it’s clear there will be some double dippers at hand!Read More

The condiment classic, revolutionized! I always laugh when I see in my analytics that one of the most trafficked posts on Strength and Sunshine is my “What To Avoid With A Nightshade Allergy” post. Now, being a good food allergy influencer, I knew that meant you guys wanted to learn more about nightshade allergies. So if you haven’t checked out that post, I suggest you read it or refresh your brain with what exactly a nightshade allergy means when it comes to the foods that can and can’t be eaten.Read More

Sometimes pizza is the only thing that will satisfy. Sometimes you want a pizza that’s a little classier too. And sometimes you have celiac disease and food allergies and well….you need something a little different in the “pie” department!

The thing is, there are a lot of pizzas out there. Many restaurants and pizza places are dishes out “gluten-free” crusts, etc. However…they usually suck. There’s no getting around that! I’ve always been a longtime fan of the personal tortilla pizza; even a polenta crust from time to time. But I wanted to try something different. Something with actual “dough”.

In comes cassava flour! The flour child of the all glorious yucca! I’m sure you’ve heard how cassava is a pretty good 1-to-1 replacement for “wheat” flour and is becoming a staple for celiac, grain-free eaters, and paleos alike! Well I’m here to tell you, the tales of cassava flour are true. This stuff rocks!

Imagine a nice thin, crispy, chewy crust. That’s what this stellar “flour” creates! No yeast either, but seltzer! Top this glorious crust with an o so delicious “beet” sauce, leeks, and golden beet slices! We get pizza, but we get one elegant flavor-smacking, seasonal beauty to enjoy! Ah, healthy pizza!

This is one of 3 pizza recipes I’ve had in “The List” for a while now and since beets and leeks are aplenty and cassava is trendy, why not start here! The cassava flour wasn’t the only inspiration for this pie though. I had a package of Love Beets that I wanted to use and since they’re already cooked and blendable, a beet sauce it was!

Of course if I was going with the beets as the main sauce, I could not neglect my favorite beet, the golden glory! Slices those up to brighten up the pie and then some seasonal leeks sliced into rounds with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and tarragon, this pie was anything but boring!

The flavors are sweet, earthy, deep, and all-around a delicious unexpected bite! Each pie serves 2 so you can halve this recipe for just one pie with 2 servings or keep as is and make the 2 pies and serve 4 people! Either way…I bet you’ll want to keep it double once you taste this colorful, chewy, thin, crispy pie!

It’s pretty spot on and leftover from the fridge! That extra pie may just make tomorrow’s lunch a little more exciting and your coworkers will be jealous 😉 We all know lunches can be boring, but that’s not the case when PIZZA is involved!

Need a little sunshine in your life? I know I do! You know I thrive on sunshine (it’s all in the name!) As I’m writing this post, it is dark, dreary, and rather cold. Not one peek of sunshine for the last week. It really puts a damper on things. No good photo shooting = no recipe creating = no stress relief = anxiety to the max! You can say my life revolves around the sun!Read More

March’s Theme – It’s Income Tax Season, so our brains could use some easy arithmetic; as in seven-ingredient-or-less recipes. Show us the healthy, no-brainer dish you fix for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Think beyond smoothies or drinks, please. (And for those of you living in countries where it’s not Tax Season – we’re pretty sure you and your readers would still love doing the math for seven-ingredient-recipes!) (Recipe ReDux)Read More
