Wheat/Dairy/Sugar-free Homemade Crockpot Breakfast Cereal

Okay, say that three times fast.

Breakfast can get so boring. After weeks and weeks of green smoothies or eggs, I start to crave something hearty and different. This delish breakfast dish was inspired by my friend Courtney Jarecki of Full Moon's Daughter. So, get out your crockpot and make some breakfast. I typically make this on a Sunday and then reheat and eat throughout the week.

Quinoa Sweet Potato Cereal

-1 15 oz. can of unsweetened coconut milk
-4 sweet potatoes, quartered
-1 c quinoa
-1/2 c water
-1 15 oz. can of black beans, drained
-1/4 c agave nectar

Place all ingredients in the crockpot and heat on low for 6 hours.

Voila! You've got a hearty, healthy and tasty breakfast.

Happy Eating!

Petition to Starbucks: Bring Back the Gluten-Free Valencia Orange Cake!

So weird, I was just at Starbucks (shh...) yesterday and had some of this cake. It is FANTASTIC. And they have to have a gluten-free option or we won't be able to go there anymore. Truth be told, I stopped going there regularly long ago because of no GF options. Sign this petition today!

A big shout out to Triumph Dining for making this happen.

It's good to know someone has our backs.

Happy Eating!

Wheat/Dairy-Free Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole

Craving Mexican food but don't want to go to all the effort of making enchiladas? This easy casserole dish is one of my favorites. It also re-heats fantastically for weekly lunches.

Wheat/Dairy-Free Vegetarian Enchilada Casserole

9 x 13 glass baking pan
9 corn tortillas (small)
1 15 0z. can enchilada sauce
1 15 oz. can black beans
1 15 oz. can vegetarian refried beans
1 avocado, chopped
1 c salsa
2 c almond cheese or non-dairy cheese of your choice, grated
1 c cherry tomatoes, chopped
1 small onion, chopped

Lightly heat both sides of tortillas - either via microwave or on stovetop. Heat enchilada sauce, black beans and refried beans on low heat in seperate pans. Dip tortillas in enchilada sauce, both sides. Lay in glass pan. Top with beans, and a handful of avocado, salsa, cheese, tomatoes and onion. Layer with tortillas, followed by beans and veggies and another layer of tortillas. Pour remaining sauce over top of casserole. Top with grated cheese. Add green onions on top for aesthetics. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
