These homemade protein bars are as easy as they are delicious. They are super easy to make (and customize) and feel like a decadent treat. They also happen to be dairy-free, gluten free, soy free, coconut free, and contain ZERO stevia. Huzzah! I am always on the hunt for good protein bars when I need a quick something to eat while I am running the girls back and forth between literally everything. Unfortunately, I have a hard time finding any I can enjoy because I am sensitive to dairy, coconut, AND stevia. I did manage to find a few brands…

Chocamole, otherwise known as chocolate avocado pudding, is the creamiest, dreamiest, richest, most decadent chocolate pudding there is. And it’s 100% dairy-free. I have a confession to make: I hate avocados. As in, you couldn’t pay me to eat them on toast, mashed up into guacamole, or any other way that people who like avocados would.

And I’ve been eating it that way FOR YEARS. It’s seriously…

These buffalo turkey meatballs are seriously heaven in meatball form. They are easy to make and insanely flavorful. They also happen to be low-carb and gluten free, so bonus points for that!

My all time favorite wrap is a buffalo chicken wrap (that I’m officially still obsessed with). And my all-time favorite vegetarian dish is the buffalo falafel from Bad Manners. I’ve lost count of how many times we’ve made that one over the years… Everyone in the House of Lev…

Looking for a way to use up stale or dried out and overcooked cookies? Cookie bread pudding is the answer to it all. Sometimes I leave cookies out on purpose just so I can make a batch. Every now and then I have a batch of cookies that doesn’t quite turn out — they get overcooked or turn out super crumbly. On even rarer occasions, I’ll have too many cookies that can’t be eaten in time before going stale. The good news is, it doesn’t matter. Because cookie bread pudding is seriously the best thing since, well, the cookie. I discovered this concept…
