Pretty in Pink Beet Hummus
 

Pretty in pink for a party! Perfect for a wedding or baby shower, or just for lunch!
Ingredients
  • 3-4 beets, cooked and peeled (Use golden or white beets with one small red beet for a pink color. The more red beets you use, the deeper the pink/red color will be)
  • 2 Tbsp. tahini
  • 1 clover garlic, peeled
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon (plus more for garnish)
  • ¼ tsp. each salt & pepper

Instructions
  1. Place everything in a food processor. Pulse until well blended. Serve with fresh veggies and crackers. Garnish with a slice of lemon.
  2. Note: To cook fresh beets, I usually simmer in hot water for 30-40 minutes until tender. Remove from water, cool and peel. Easy!

Coconutty Turkey Nuggets with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce - Paleo and Gluten-Free (inspiredrd.com)

I can’t take credit for these tasty nuggets.  My mom made a batch and sent a container home with me a few weeks ago. They were for the kids. I ate them all. Oops.   I thought I should make it up to them, so I made a batch.  Then another.  Then another.  We have [...]

Pizza night is back! {Recipe for GF Pizza Crust and a GIVEAWAY}

{Giveaway has now ended. You can find the recipe at the bottom of the post.} One thing I’ve missed since going gluten-free is pizza night.  Oh sure, we’ve had a few pizza nights using frozen gluten-free crusts, but it’s SO not the same as homemade.  And it’s not nearly as much fun either, especially for [...]
