For being mostly Italian, and for having a last name like ‘Peduzzi’, I’ve posted a shockingly tiny amount of Italian recipes on the blog.
Yes, we had risotto. And I adore balsamic vinegar so very much. But, after blogging for nearly an entire year, is this all I have to show for myself by way of Italian grub?!Read More
CHRISTMAS COOKIES. To tell you the truth, I never really gravitated towards cookies in years past. Cookies just don’t excite me as much as a fudgy, chewy brownie, a seeeeeriously dark piece of chocolate cake, or some fresh chocolate-dipped fruit.
Until this year.
This year, I’ve gone completely #cookiecrazy. It has been a freakin’ winter wonderland here in the apartment for monhts. Mark and I have pretty much been swimming in Christmas cookies since I wrote my eCookbook a couple of months ago. Not that I’m complaining. It’s been a delicious situation, but a situation nonetheless.
(shameless plug: you can STILL sign up to receive my eCookbook, The Skinny Santa: your essential guide to healthier holiday treats, in the month of December fo’ free! Doooo eeeet!)
So naturally, I’ve been fan-girling over all of the insanely incredible cookie recipes floating around the interwebs this year. From gingerbread, to snickerdoodles, to peppermint, to peanut butter…it’s kind of amazing just how many flavor combinations make up this yummy time of year! So I’ve rounded up 18 of my favorite gluten free vegan Christmas cookie recipes for your viewing (and drooling) pleasure here today! I hope you find some fun cookie inspiration for your happy, somewhat healthy, holiday celebrations!

Welcome to your second delicious dose of #oatweek! Seriously guys, I’m oatmeal-obsessive; it’s one of my all-time favorite foods, and I have it every single day…at least once a day.
You may not know it, however, by looking at the serious lack of oats in my recipe feed. What in the world was I doing for an entire year?!
I mean, sure, we have Banana Bread Granola, Samoa Overnight Oats, and we can’t forget about this super-comforting Coffee Cake Baked Oatmeal. But these recipes are merely scratching the surface of all of the incredible edibles that oats can be a part of!
On Monday we tackled one of my childhood favorite cookies, Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies (must.make.new.batch.now.). Today, we’re targeting another: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies!

Guys, I’m SO stinkin’ excited about this post!
One, because I know ye who are in search of some healthy eating tips will benefit from it. Two, because I’m greedy. I struggle with staying on track so much during the holidays. When there are so many decadent dishes and delicious desserts on the table right in front of me, how can I not indulge this time of year?! And that’s coming from someone who actively tries to eat as many whole foods as possible all year long. But I’m here today with a few tips to help guide you through the holiday season by making healthier choices whenever possible.
We’re going to start attacking this topic from the source: why should you and I care about making healthier choices? Holidays are the time were indulging is at its peak; nobody wants to say “no” to those tempting Christmas cookies. It’s important that we’re mindful of these temptations and try to strike a balance between satisfying and nourishing food choices. Because who in the world would want to choose the healthier option if it tastes like dirt and/or grass? YEEEEAHnotme.
Thus my 5 Healthy Eating Tips for the Holidays were born! These 5 simple tips were created to help you enjoy the holidays while still keeping my health goals in mind. Let’s conquer this holiday season, friends!Read More
These cookies were born simply out of a craving. A hardcore cookie craving.
A couple of months ago, Mark turned to me and simply said, “I want a cookie.” And when you say you want food to a food blogger, you’re definitely going to get food.
TODAY IS THE DAY, PEEPS!!
Yes, it’s December 1. The start of the hap-happiest season of all. The start of my birthday month ???. The start of everything gingerbread, peppermint, and coziness. And…
IT’S THE RELEASE DATE OF MY ECOOKBOOK!
I’m just a little excited. Can you tell?Read More

Needless to say, Thanksgiving was an über-success.Read More
