No boring side dishes around here! These Best Garlic Roasted Carrots are just 3 ingredients and all flavor. It’s all about roasting these beauties at a high temperature so the carrots caramelize as the cook. So if you’ve ever thought carrots were on the boring side, this recipe is for you. Also be sure to check out my other favorite varations below from Maple Herb to Honey Dijon.

This easy side dish is another case of a simple recipe that seems too good to be true. I mean how can 3 simple ingredients make veggies that taste so good? As usual it’s all about technique. But don’t worry, it’s nothing fancy or time consuming!

Sausage with peppers and onions garnished with basil.

A super tasty and classic combination! This Sausage and Peppers sheet pan dinner comes together in under 30 minutes, and is so adaptable. It’s naturally gluten free and dairy free as well. Try it with different kinds of sausages, or add the optional tomatoes for a fun twist. It’s great with simple side dishes like my Creamy Mashed Cauliflower, or with freshly cooked pasta.

Sausage and peppers has been a long time favorite combination in our house. I’ve been making different versions of this classic combo since we first got married over 12 years ago. And it’s still one of the only dishes Tyler frequently requests.

Just like the classic cookies from childhood, these Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies are crispy around the edges and chewy in the centers. They’re naturally gluten free with a dairy free option as well. Made with whole food ingredients and natural sweeteners, these cookies are a healthier treat that taste just like the ones mom used to make!

Remaking a classic recipe is always a tall order! But after a lot of testing, I’ve finally come up with an almond flour version of the classic chocolate chip cookies I grew up with. And as you might imagine, they’re delicious dipped in milk.

These 5 Easy Kombucha Mocktails are just the beginning of all the fun combos you can come up with! They’re easy to make, & the perfect addition to any meal. Start with your favorite flavor of kombucha, then pair it together with your favorite sparkling water or fresh fruit juice, and some fun garnishes. From there the sky is the limit for how many mocktails you can come up with. We love all the combos listed here in this recipe, but I’m especially fond of number 5 with the guava and passionfruit combo.
