All the flavors you love in grandma’s old-fashioned Southern sweet potato pie, but easier, healthier, and without the crust! A Gluten-Free Crustless Sweet Potato Pie that’s vegan, top-8 allergy-free, paleo, creamy & sweet! This quick, healthy, lower carb & sugar-free twist the classic dessert will be a winning recipe for the holiday season!

Whether it be Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any Fall/Winter holiday in-between, cozy sweet pies are always a popular dessert option to serve.

All in the name of health, celiac disease, food allergies, and veganism, that’s never been a problem over here on Strength and Sunshine. Coming from someone who personally is not a pie fan, but knows she’s in the minority on that opinion, I have high standards to pies (or what I deem to be pies), so you know I’ll only provide you with the best.Read More

Hold up! You are about to add a (healthy + delicious) addiction to your life! Kung Pao Chicken is always delicious; sitting there on the takeout menu, beckoning you with whispers of “order me! order me!”.

I love my spice, but I also have health conditions that don’t love it so much! Since I’m all about not missing out on the old favorites and classics, nothing stopped me from just whipping up a homemade recipe right in the cozy comfort of my own kitchen! Boy, am I glad I have this recipe under my belt now, because it is super delicious and not to mention so simple and easy!Read More
