Healthy Macaroni Salad: Gluten Free

May 20, 2021 By jaclyn Leave a Comment

Love macaroni salad, me too! This creamy macaroni salad is easy to make and absolutely delicious. You won’t even be able to tell that it’s actually a little lighter than a traditional macaroni salad. Rather than using lots and lots of mayo (even though I love the stuff!), I use a blend of Greek yogurt and mayonnaise to make it richer, tangier and a bit healthier. So even though this is called a healthy macaroni salad, don’t be afraid to switch it up and try this version instead. Your tastebuds will thank you, I promise.

Pasta with Peas & Asparagus: Ready in under 30 minutes!

If there’s one thing I love cooking (and eating) it has to be pasta. Honestly, I’ve considered niching down to just pasta at times, but then what would I do with all the cookies recipes 😉 One of the reasons I love pasta is because it cooks so quickly. Whenever I find myself wondering what to make for dinner, pasta is my go-to choice. And I love how spring forward this pasta with peas and asparagus recipe is. Tossed in a simple extra virgin olive oil and lemon dressing with a good sprinkle of parm, its light on ingredients but big on flavour. Don’t skip on the pistachio panko crunchy topping, it takes this dish to the next level.

Are you ready for some pancakes? I know I am. And these gluten free buckwheat pancakes with roasted peaches are honestly one of the best combos I’ve tried when it comes to peaches. The mascarpone on top and maple syrup just take it to the next level. And the roasted peaches make the peaches even sweeter too. Even if you decide just to make the pancakes on their own, they’ll still be delicious.

Nothing quite says spring and summer like lettuce wraps! And these shredded harissa chicken thighs are so perfect tucked inside. Although this is one of those recipes that are on the messier side (in terms of eating them), they’re well worth the mess. I’ve topped these crunchy wraps with beautiful additions like a spiced almond mix, all the fresh herbs and a simple sumac-lemon yogurt dressing. The flavours in this recipe will definitely make your tastebuds sing and your mouth very happy.

Charlie Bird Farro Salad: The Best Farro Salad Ever

About 4 years ago, I went to NYC. I went on quite the foodie adventure while I was there. One of the most memorable was definitely Charlie Bird. And of all the things I tried on the menu, the one thing I knew I *had* to make when I got home was the farro salad. It’s seriously good, and I personally think it’s the best farro salad recipe out there. I wanted to put a little bit of my own spin on it and make it a bit easier. So here is my version of the Charlie Bird farro salad.

If you’re anything like me, you love fresh corn on the cob in the summer. I don’t think there is anything better than grilled corn complete with butter and sea salt. But then I tried Mexican street corn at a restaurant and I was blown away by the flavour. Truthfully, I made it this way every time I bought corn last summer. And this summer is shaping up to be the same. So I thought it was time I shared this Mexican street corn salad with you. Your welcome!
