Easy Baked Buffalo Falafel

January 4, 2016 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 13 Comments

[This Oat Week recipe is sponsored by my wonderful friends over at Bob’s Red Mill! We’re using their perfect Gluten Free Oat Flour from Bob’s for this recipe!]

I’m SO excited; it’s the second week of Fooduzzi’s Oat Week (check out my previous Oat Week recipes here)!! I’m coming at you with two crazy-delicious oat-filled recipes with the help of my friends at Bob’s Red Mill!

I figured I should start this post with a tiny disclaimer: I’ve never actually had a falafel.

However, I have fun saying the word falafel, and I understand the general premise of a falafel, so I figured I’d give a falafel recipe a whirl.

And boy, am I glad I did.

Healthy Vegan Smoothie Recipes for the New Year

January 2, 2016 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 17 Comments

Who had a fun NYE?!

Mark and I had some friends over, we played some games, ate some food (I made my Smoky Black Bean Dip ❤️❤️❤️), and brought in the new year with lots of happiness and cheer.

And wine. Always wine. ?

So naturally this morning was a “let’s rebound after the indulgent holidays” kind of morning. And I resorted to my old whole food standby: smoothies.

Liquid nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and protein whirled together to create a dreamy, creamy nutritional powerhouse? I’ll take it. I’ll take it every dang day.

I figured a little smoothie roundup could be helpful to everyone this time of year, so I took it upon myself to scour the interwebs in search for the yummiest, healthiest, vegan-est smoothies around! Yum yum yummm! Drink ’em for breakfast, slurp them as a snack, or savor them as dessert, these healthy vegan smoothie recipes are sure to make your new year a little bit sweeter. ?

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.

Pasta with Vegan Meat Sauce

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. ;)
