I’m all about baking up batch after batch of homemade cookies. I don’t really care what kind they are, as long as they are sweet and pair well with a glass of ice cold milk. How about you? What’s your favorite homemade cookie? If you said peanut butter chocolate chip, you’re in for a treat!

This cookie is a very special cookie recipe. It produces chewy, gooey, finger-licking chocolate peanut butter cookies without one common ingredient: flour. Now, you might be thinking, “how is that even possible?!” Well, I don’t know exactly, but I can tell you that it works, and these cookies come out amazingly well. So, if you’re looking for a cookie with higher protein and fewer carbs, give this recipe a whirl.

Just 15 minutes of basic cooking, a little prep, 20 minutes of baking, and you can have this Quinoa Banana Nut Bread ready. And with a good helping of essential vitamins, fiber, and protein, this dessert isn’t just good but also surprisingly good for you. I have always enjoyed banana nut bread (rare is the time I’ve passed up getting some of it when I happen to pass by it at Kroger), but I can’t say that I have tried a healthy, gluten-free banana nut bread recipe before now. Well, I give this two yums up, and as easy as it is to make, I’m sure it will be making plenty more appearances in my kitchen in the future.

I have several friends with celiac disease and sometimes it’s difficult to find a nice gluten-free recipe. I always want to serve something delicious, and many of those gluten-free dessert have seemed a bit on the dry side. This banana bread is such a wonderful exception!

Casseroles make weeknight dinners a whole lot easier to put together. This Stuffed Cabbage Casserole is on the leaner and healthier side but still packs a nice cheesy and savory flavor. You have to love one-pot dinners that are ready in half an hour, taste great, and give you plenty of vitamins, dietary fiber, and lean protein without overdoing the less-healthy stuff. Suffice it to say, I will be making this one again. It’s a good go-to meal for the busier days, and of course a one-pot dinner means less cleanup afterwards!

Whenever I have more time I use fresh onion, garlic and herbs instead of powders, but it’ll be delicious either way. I also like to make a larger portion so that I’ll have enough leftovers for the next couple of days – they reheat beautifully so that’ll make lunch so much easier for me!
