Top 10 Gluten Free Vegan Recipes of 2015

December 28, 2015 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 15 Comments

Can you believe that we have a mere 3 days left of 2015? Like, there are 3 more days until it’ll never be 2015 again. Total ridiculousness I say! Where in the world did this year go?!

2015 will always have a special place in my heart because it was my first full year blogging. One of the things I’ve loved most after starting Fooduzzi was that I got to learn so much about food! I understand what flavor pairings, I can develop a baked dessert recipe from scratch, I can create a quick and easy dinner for Mark and myself on a whim.

I also got to learn about you! It seems like ya’ll have a sweet tooth or two, because 8 out of my 10 most popular recipes of 2015 are healthy desserts! I mean, I definitely can’t blame you. Have you seen how cookie-crazy I went this year?! You also seem to be fans of simple, easy, and quick recipes, like no-bake desserts and 30-minute meals!

So, while I was curious to see what my top 10 gluten free vegan recipes from this year were, I really wasn’t surprised! In fact, most of the recipes that you guys loved were my favorite recipes, too! Great, healthy food-lovin’ minds think alike, apparently. ? I hope you enjoy reminiscing on the past year as much as I did – and be sure to stick around; I have a special announcement just for you at the bottom of this post! ?Read More

My fabulous friends over at DeLallo sent me product to use in this recipe today. We’re using their Simply Pesto for this recipe!

Merry Christmas Eve!! Good golly, do I just looove this time of year!

So, it’s kind of hysterical that I chose to post a pizza recipe today. Like, I totally didn’t plan it this way, but it totally makes sense when I go back and revisit my Christmas as a kid.

Watch out, ladies and gents; it’s about to get all nostalgic up in huuurrr.

My fabulous friends over at DeLallo sent me product to use in this recipe today. We’re using their Pomodoro Fresco Spicy Arrabbiata Sauce and their Gluten Free Whole Grain Rice Spaghetti for this recipe!

GUYSSSS. I am so freakin’ excited for this week!

Not only is it Christmas week (aka. the only week per year that it’s mildly acceptable to eat cookies all day long (!!)), but it’s also Gluten Free Italian Comfort Food Week on Fooduzzi (!!!)!

It’s a mouthful when you say it and when you eat it. ;)

So, today is one of the best days of the year. In my seeeeeriously biased opinion.

Not only is today my birthday, but it’s also FOODUZZI’S 1ST BIRTHDAY! ???

Easy Beans and Greens

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

18 Craveable Gluten Free Vegan Christmas Cookies

December 12, 2015 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 15 Comments

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!

Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies [gluten free & vegan]

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!
