Soft, spongy cake. Oozing chocolate. With this mug cake in your palm, you can really hold the whole (edible) world in your hands. Now, even for a girl who has cut most sources of refined sugar out of her diet, sometimes the summer nights get cold, your stomach gets hungry, and all your taste buds want is a big slice of cake. Hello chocolate mug cake - creamy, gooey and just sweet enough to fulfill that chocolate craving! Plus, who doesn't love a dessert that can transform from ten simple ingredients into a luxurious cake in five minutes? To get started, gather your dessert armory! Like most of my recipes, this one is versatile, fits multiple diets (paleo, vegan, gluten free, low fodmap), and relatively healthy. So grab a mug, a spoon, and a microwave and get ready to dig in!

Everyone has a different "love language" but one love most people have in common? Pizza of course - especially when that pizza is easy to make, free of most allergens and high in protein thanks to the buckwheat base. If that doesn't get your heart pitter-pattering, I also have three topping combos that might as well make homemade pizza your favorite date.

Every Thanksgiving, my kids wake us up and I turn on the oven to finish the cinnamon roll bread I started the night before. It became a tradition in our house quickly and has morphed into a favorite holiday breakfast treat. But it actually started as a tribute of sorts to my Italian grandparents. My grandmother made an angel-food-pan cinnamon roll completely from scratch for our Sunday visits, and it's one of those strong family memories that you never shake. This roll, or monkey bread to Southerners, is nowhere near the talent or taste of my gram's, but it's dairy free, and it fits into our busy days. I'm adding it to this year's Easter community cookbook because my gram---the last of my living grandparents---died in 2016, and her birthday is just a few weeks shy of this spring holiday. I made my dairy-free version first for Memorial Day in honor of my WWII-serving grandfather, and this year I'll make it for Easter to remember my gram. You can try any combination of flavors you'd like, and you can go as boxed-mix or from-scratch as you'd like, too. My first version of this treat used dry butterscotch pudding instead of plain white sugar, and it's still my kids' favorite version. In a pinch, I've even torn off pizza dough into balls when I didn't have frozen rolls premade (or prepurchased).

Unfortunately for this celiac, oats and my gluten-shredded intestines haven't gotten back on talking terms since my diagnosis. For a while, I was riding the quinoa flake train, but I abandoned those in a desperate jump to stop the unexplainable itching that hit me a few months ago. What's an oat-cravin' gal to do? Buy packs of Bob Mills' rice and buckwheat flakes and hope for the best! For a little while, I was dancing the Goldilocks. Just rice was too thin; buckwheat alone tasted a bit too nutty. And then my taste buds landed on the perfectly thick, chewy, no-oat oatmeal! Having a bowl of this magic to look forward to makes my early college class schedule a little easier to swallow (food pun, of course, intended).

What's that one meal that you can't live without? Loaded pizza on a gluten free crust? Your favorite chocolate cake with a molten center? For this celiac, it's homemade nana ice cream decorated with granola, berries and lots of chewy/crunchy goodness. Don't know what nana ice cream is? (If so, you definitely aren't following me on Instagram and haven't seen Margie's amazing blog, Nana Ice Cream.) Basically, it's a dairy free "ice cream" created by blending frozen bananas with liquid and any other flavor add-ins (ranging from other frozen fruit to cacao powder). Want to eat your ice cream and get a punch of nutrition too? That's what triggered my favorite nice cream flavor - zucchini bread - to appear from my blender! Not only is this recipe gluten free, vegan and paleo (depending on your toppings), it's also 100% drool-worthy. Just imagine biting into a creamy spoonful of "ice cream" packed with cozy flavors like nutmeg and cinnamon, plus sweet hints from frozen fruit and vanilla...only to know that you're getting a dose of veggies at the same time. As I've written about previously, zucchini is a low in calories and sugar but high in antioxidants, potassium and Vitamin C and B. Research also shows that zucchini (and other summer squash varieties) can boost eye and heart health, help control diabetes, aid digestion and balance the thyroid and adrenal glands. Combined with bananas - which boast high levels of Vitamin B6, manganese, fiber, copper and biotin - this really is the healthiest ice cream you'll ever taste! Not to mention one of the easiest and most delicious desserts for breakfast!
