Homemade cookie butter is so easy to make! This Gluten-Free Cookie Butter recipe is vegan, allergy-free, and can be made with any cookies you have on hand! This healthy copycat of your favorite Trader Joe’s spread will be a new sweet treat or snack for the whole family to enjoy!

Cookie butter! Have you ever had it? I was gluten-free way before it became a trendy “thing” via it’s rise to Trader Joe’s stardom. It’s everything you love about cookies, but as a spread which you can slather on just about anything you want to make a little more…naughty. Think of it as a sugar/carb-based nut butter. A dessert spread for sure, but a scoop to tame the midnight munchies works too!Read More

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

July 1, 2019 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 52 Comments

These 3-ingredient no-bake granola bars are so easy to make! This recipe for healthy homemade granola bars is oat-free, gluten-free, vegan, and allergy-free! These chewy bars make a great grab-and-go breakfast or kid-friendly snack! They’re sugar-free and naturally sweet, plus packed with protein and nut-free!

You know those moments when you’re like, “Why didn’t I think of this sooner!?” This is one of those times. Oats are the foundation of any good granola bar, but the hardest grain for a celiac to digest even when they are safe and 100% purity protocol. Noshing into a big ‘ole granola bar doesn’t sit well for many of us. Alternatives to the famed granola bar would be bars made from nuts and loads of sticky refined sugar. Granola bars are not so allergy-friendly, nor are many of the store-bought versions healthy. But what if we could change that with a healthy, homemade, no-bake recipe?Read More

Our ice cream dreams are realized! Tahini, chocolate, in ice cream form? Yes, yes please!

Yes, that one appliance (or attachment) I do not have is an ice cream maker. BUT, I know I’m not alone and if you don’t have one either, your life is about to get a whole lot cooooler!Read More
