November 20, 2017 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 85 Comments

It’s time to give that classic holiday side dish recipe a healthy makeover! This homemade Gluten-Free & Vegan Green Bean Casserole is top-8 allergy-free, has a crunchy baked onion topping, and creamy coconut milk and mushroom base!

Since you know I ALWAYS have a confession in the beginning of posts, there is a major one to divulge today. I NEVER had green bean casserole. You know, the decadent canned green beans, condensed cream of mushroom soup, french fried onions, and possible cheddar cheese added on top. The most unhealthy holiday side dish posing as a “vegetable”. Yea, I never had it, nor did my family ever serve it during the holidays (hence, why I’ve never tried it).Read More

How-To Make Eggplant Bacon In Your Dehydrator

September 21, 2017 by Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine 32 Comments

Here is a simple and easy way to make meatless, gluten-free, vegan, paleo, raw, and allergy-free eggplant bacon right in your dehydrator! Eggplant bacon is a great smoky, crispy, no oil, no fat, low-calorie and carb vegetarian swap to the greasy classic!

A few weeks ago I realized I never shared a proper tutorial on how to make my favorite “bacon” (aka, eggplant bacon!) You’ve seen me use it before in my popular “Ultimate Vegan BLT” recipe and I have another recipe coming up on Monday that uses it. I have a few other recipes that require the eggplant bacon in the “to-post” files as well, but always held off because I knew I needed to get a tutorial up before I went to “bacon-crazy” on the blog!Read More

A gluten-free and paleo grilled chicken shawarma recipe served with a dairy-free yogurt tahini sauce and marinated veggies. This Arabic meal packs in so much flavor and is guaranteed to be a showstopper dinner!

I am so excited to share this recipe for grilled chicken shawarma with you! Not only is the name super fun(ny), but it is out of this world delicious and flavor-packed! Remember that birthday of mine a few weeks ago? I had big plans of making this meal on my birthday, but the weather did not cooperate and I knew I wouldn’t be able to shoot (photos for this very blog post). I ended up having salmon and yucca instead. The following day, however, the sun was shining and it was the perfect day to make this amazing gluten-free feast! If you’ve never had chicken shawarma before, you are about to be introduced to something so insanely delicious, you won’t know what hit your tastebuds 😉Read More
