What’s better than a chocolate-covered strawberry? Chocolate Covered Strawberries on a Stick! Turn the classic chocolate treat into a fun, fruity, handheld dessert, fit for any celebration! This quick & easy skewer recipe is gluten-free, vegan, allergy-free, and paleo with just 2 ingredients. A perfect kid-friendly way to decorate, serve, and eat!

Have you ever turned down a chocolate-covered strawberry? (I’ll answer for you…) I don’t think so! They’re the easiest “fancy” dessert! At least, I’ve always associated them with a fancy treat. When you cover anything in a thick glossy layer of chocolate, you can turn any mundane ingredient into a devilishly decadent delicacy! You might typically associate chocolate-covered fruit with Valentine’s Day, but when it’s summer and ALL the berries are just prime and overflowing in your fridge, I think that’s the best time to do some chocolate dipping!Read More

Authentic Vegan German Potato Salad (Gluten-Free, Paleo, Allergy-Free)

May 27, 2019 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 36 Comments

Looking for the best Authentic German Potato Salad recipe, just like Grandma used to make? The vinegar-based potato salad you love, but without bacon and it’s vegan, gluten-free, paleo, and allergy-free! Served warm or cold, this easy side dish still packs all the zesty & smokey flavor with the help of homemade coconut bacon!

Potato salad is the side dish of the summer. Some may say pasta salads reign supreme, but if you ask me, I think potatoes will always have a slight edge. Potatoes are cheap, filling, perfect for feeding a hungry crowd, a perfect gluten-free carb, they’re just a fantastic go-to! There are so many ways to make a good potato salad, so many variations, however, many of the traditional potato salads fall short of being allergy-friendly and fit for special diets. Take the German Potato Salad for instance. While it doesn’t use mayo, it does contain bacon (so it’s not vegan) and flour to thicken the vinegar dressing (so it’s not gluten-free).Read More

How To Make Vegan Coconut Bacon (Gluten-Free, Allergy-Free, Paleo)

May 26, 2019 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 34 Comments

Making coconut bacon is a lot easier than you think! This how-to tutorial recipe for Easy Vegan Coconut Bacon is gluten-free, allergy-free, paleo, free of store-bought additives, oil-free, and sugar-free! Of all the vegetarian bacon substitutes, this one is all natural and lasts for months, making it a great homemade staple!

Here at Strength and Sunshine, you know we’re big fans of the famous dehydrator eggplant bacon. However, eggplant bacon isn’t a great fit for EVERY recipe that calls for meatless bacon. Coconut bacon, on the other hand, is fit for just about every vegan bacon need. It’s crisp, crunchy, won’t get soggy (like eggplant bacon would), can be sprinkled, piled on, layered in, eaten by the handful, and pretty much lasts forever. Basically, if you don’t have a jar of homemade coconut bacon in the pantry…are you even living?Read More
