These Roasted Jalapeño Poppers have three different cheeses, fresh cilantro, minced green onions all stuffed in jalapeños and are roasted in your oven instead of deep fried. So deliciously spicy, these will go fast at any party or gathering!
These are just a gluten-free and non-fried version of the game day classic. There’s not one but three kinds of cheese (does cream cheese count?) combined with fresh cilantro and green onions which are then stuffed into hollowed out jalapeño halves and roasted until bubbly and brown. If you can wait the few minutes so you don’t burn your tastebuds, you then get to consume “these spicy cradles of cheese love” as my (at the time) 13-year-old daughter exclaimed.
It literally took me longer to make these than it did for us to inhale them.
If you were to pluck off the roof to our house and peer into the kitchen at the very moment these cooled down enough to eat, it would have looked like a shark feeding frenzy. We even fought over the crispy browned bits of cheese that spilled over onto the pan. We ended up eating those with crackers.😍
In a mixing bowl, add 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1-1/4 cup freshly grated jalapeño cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup Cotija. If you can’t find Cotija, you can substitute with feta.
Next add in 2 chopped green onions and 2 tablespoon minced fresh cilantro.
Use a rubber spatula to mix it all together. It will take a few to get the mixture going, but eventually it will be spreadable.
Rinse and pat dry 20 medium jalapeños.
Slip on a pair of nitrile gloves or any type of food-safe glove to protect your hands. Maybe even wear goggles or some form protective eye wear too. Slice the jalapeños in half lengthwise, keeping the stem intact if at all possible, for the only reason is that they look cool once roasted.
Then use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and ribs. This is where protective eyewear comes in handy.
Next use an offset spatula to fill the peppers with about a teaspoon-ish of the cheese mixture and place on a couple of rimmed metal baking sheets. Try to avoid over filling the jalapeños.
Lastly, slide the pan on to the middle rack of your preheated 450° oven.
Roast for 10-12 minutes or until the tops of the cheese are a golden brown.
Before you let loose and start inhaling these roasted jalapeño poppers, transfer them to a platter with a little dish of ranch dressing for dipping, and sprinkle it all with fresh cilantro leaves. Dipping in the ranch helps diffuse the heat a little. But only a little. Because these babes are spicy!
The perfect finger food for parties, small gatherings or midday snackaging. Which is the BEST kind of snacking there is.

Place the softened cream cheese, jalapeño cheddar, cotija, green onions and cilantro into a medium bowl. Use a spatula to mix until combined.

The Ginger Miso Crunch salad at Flower Child.
CharlotteFive
Remember how apologizing as a kid wasn’t just about saying “sorry”? Your parents wanted the full confession.
“Tell your sister exactly what you’re sorry for,” my parents would say after I launched a Hot Wheels car directly at her head — as if my 6-year-old self needed to draft a statement of accountability before snack time.
So, here’s my latest apology: I’m sorry, Flower Child, for assuming you only served plant-based and gluten-free food. And for spreading that rumor around.
I remember seeing news stories about the restaurant’s opening that featured photos of salad — and with a name like “Flower Child,” wouldn’t it make sense for it to cater to specific diets? (It does, but more on that later.)
Because of my bias against health food restaurants, I would immediately shoot it down whenever someone suggested Flower Child for lunch or dinner.
“I want food with extra gluten in it,” I thought to myself whenever someone would suggest it.
But I was wrong.
The restaurant has something for everyone, including plenty of healthy options, and a rainy Monday when I wasn’t planning to move much felt like the perfect excuse for a salad.
Not long after I walked in the restaurant, the bouncy bass line of Remi Wolf’s “Cinderella” started playing over the speakers, which matched perfectly with the dining room’s splash of color. The drippy rainbow mural and striped chairs seemed to dance right along with her kaleidoscopic sound.
Even with all the color and pattern, the dining room still felt cozy and familiar, like a space built for slow meals and easy conversation.
But I was by myself, meaning I had the opportunity to take in every nuanced flavor and texture without distraction.
Here’s what you need to know about Flower Child.
The Flower Child menu includes bowls, plates, salads and wraps, with proteins (such as meat and chicken) available as add-ons. The menu also caters to a variety of dietary preferences, such as vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy free.
Prices range from $10-$20.
Here’s everything I got for roughly $22 (before tax and tip):
I’ve always enjoyed salads with crunch, whether from tortilla strips, crackers or peanuts, and this one was no exception. But, of course, the steak was the star.
It may have been cooked to medium, but it was a well-done steak in every sense. And that flavor combined with the sweet, crisp vegetables and nutty, herby notes that made every bite a satisfying contrast, with the dressing adding a zing that tied it all together.
We need to discuss the cookie, though.
Something I wish I had known — or rather, something I was glad I didn’t know — was that the chocolate chip cashew cookie was gluten-free. But I’m glad I didn’t know, because then I wouldn’t have ordered it.
Monday was the end of my 30-year-long streak of never trying gluten-free food (for context, I turned 30 in June), but this chocolate chip cashew creation stole the show.
It was made with coconut, which was pleasantly pronounced without ever dominating, and the dark chocolate added a deep, decadent richness that melted in my mouth. Nutty cashew pieces provided a satisfying crunch, while the cookie itself had a delightfully crisp, slightly chewy texture — a reminder that gluten-free doesn’t mean flavor-free.
So, Flower Child, consider this my full confession: I judged too quickly, I doubted your menu and I’m genuinely sorry — especially for missing out on that cookie for all these years.

Smoky and spicy, this Chipotle White Bean Turkey Chili is cozy comfort in a bowl. Sautéed onions, garlic and ground turkey is cooked with spices, white beans and tomato sauce for a quick and hearty meal. Serves 6 in under an hour.
Once day it’s sunny and warm and then the next it’s cold, cloudy and rainy. It’s been unpredictable and yet, totally predictable because, hello it’s Michigan.
However, no matter what crazy fall or winter weather is happening outside, I’m always game for a bowl of chili. Because there’s nothing better than a bowl of chili to warm up with. This chipotle chili is leaner with ground turkey instead of beef, and a little meaner with a ground chipotle chili powder for that deliciously smoky, back-of-the-throat heat.
In under an hour you will enjoy a bowlful of hearty, smoky, soul warming chipotle white bean turkey chili. It’s the perfect thing after a day of yard work and raking up leaves.
Add 2 teaspoons live oil into a deep-sided pan or dutch oven and heat over medium. Next, add in 1 cup of diced yellow onion, 3 cloves minced fresh garlic and a pinch of kosher salt.
Sauté until softened, stirring occasionally for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Then add in the 2 pounds of extra lean ground turkey.
Using a wooden spatula, break the ground turkey into small crumbles and cook until no longer pink.
Measure and add 2 teaspoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons ground chipotle powder, 1¼ teaspoons ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano.
Stir and cook for 1 more minute to open up those spices.
Add in the 3 cans of rinsed and drain white beans. Navy beans or great northern will work here.
If soaking your own beans, here’s my fool-proof method for soaking and cooking dried beans.
Lastly, add 2 (15 ounce) cans of tomato sauce along with a 1/2 cup of water, this will thin the chili out a smidge. I like to add the water to the empty can and swirl it around to pick up any leftover sauce.
Stir…
…until combined.
Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spoon chili into bowls.
As we all know, chili is all about the toppings because they add texture and add flavor, making chili that much more delicious. So I highly suggest, topping your bowl of chili with sour cream or plain greek yogurt, shredded sharp white cheddar, sliced green onions, cilantro and a squeeze of lime.
Lastly, and more importantly serve this chili with corn tortilla chips.
Get your spoons ready!

Simply the best Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies! This recipe is quick and easy to pull together (20 minutes!!) with no chill time! And the result is crispy edges with soft and chewy middles, and the perfect cookie to chocolate chip ratio. You might not believe that they’re both gluten-free and vegan! Yields approximately 25 cookies.
I have one friend who is vegan and another who is gluten free so I tested this chocolate chip cookie recipe several times until I felt it was perfect. They went over SO WELL! I’ve been making chocolate chip cookies since middle school, and I’m neither gf or vegan and I love the texture and flavor of these cookies.
Whenever I share something that I haven’t blogged on SS yet, I always ask “should I blog this?” and there was an overwhelming agreement of yes’s. So I did that last week, only to accidentally used baking powder instead of baking soda. Rookie mistake. So this week I picked it back up where I left off last week (hence the bowl change in the middle of the post) and they turned out perfect and now I have a batch of chocolate chip cookies at my disposal. Win-win.
There are worse things in life amiright?!
In a small bowl, measure and add 1 tablespoon ground flax meal and combine it with 2½ tablespoons water. This is called a “flax egg” which is an excellent egg replacement in vegan baking. Set this off to the side for a moment.
In the bowl of your stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, measure and add 1/2 cup (4 ounces) very soft vegan butter with 3/4 cup dark brown sugar and 1/2 cup light brown sugar.
Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
Next add in the flax egg.
And measure and add in 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.
Mix on medium-low until combined, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as you go.
Then measure and add in 1½ cups gluten-free flour, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon fine salt.
Mix on medium-low speed until incorporated. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl and mix again.
Lastly add in 1 cup vegan chocolate chips.
Mix on low until combined.
Using a 2-tablespoon scoop to measure out each cookie and place 8 scoops onto your prepared pan.
Slide the pan onto the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate the pan half way through to ensure even baking.
Once baked, immediately remove and using a large mouth glass, place it over each cookie and swirl. While they’re still pretty warm, I’ll also sink a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of each cookies so they look pretty.
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
Once the cookies have completely cooled, store them in an air-tight container for up to a week.
If they even last that long 😉
Use a 2-tablespoon scoop to portion out the “raw” dough and freeze as is, placing them closed together on a lined baking sheet. Place into your freezer and freeze until frozen solid. Transfer to a freezer safe container or baggie and store up to 2 months. Bake desired amount of cookies following the recipe instructions. There’s no need to thaw before baking. However you may need to adjust baking time, adding 2 to 5 minutes more.

Start your day with a delicious and energizing treat! These spiced white chocolate craisin breakfast cookies are packed with nutrients to keep you fueled and focused all morning long.
These spiced almond breakfast cookies turn almonds into almond butter for a healthier breakfast cookie that smells like the holidays and tastes delicious.
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Fisher Nuts. The opinions and text are all mine.
That little “kettle” on the stove. Yes, kettle, not pot or saucepan as I call it these days, but kettle like my mom called it. Vancouver is quite chilly during the fall because of all the moisture in the air. It really gets you to the bones and it’s harder to warm up. The sky is grey and moisture hangs in the air whether it’s raining or not.
Every day we would walk home from school and as soon as we opened the front door we were greeted with warm air and smells. It wasn’t from the food that was cooking, though that often happened too, but it was from the kettle of spices on the stove making our house smell like fall or the holidays. That’s what inspired this spiced almond breakfast cookie and our decision to continue our partnership with Fisher Nuts.
That’s where these breakfast cookies come in. We love using good products for our family as it makes us feel better on the inside and we believe it sets our children up to make wise food choices in the future. I mean think about it, you buy what your mom bought. She only used wheat bread, you probably do the same. We choose to use and work with Fisher nuts because it is the only brand of recipe nuts entirely without preservatives.
And in the meantime, make sure you make these spiced almond breakfast cookies for the kids in the morning. It will start them off with a heart healthy breakfast that smells amazing and will have them feeling warm from the inside out!
There’s no flour or dairy in this recipe which makes them very allergy friendly. Make sure your oats are gluten free and you have a gluten-free, dairy-free cookie. Here is everything you will need:
The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
All of these instructions can be found in full detail in the recipe card down below.
Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fibers help to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood glucose levels.
Bananas are healthy and nutritious. They are high in fiber and low in calories.
Almonds are very nutritious. They contain healthy fats, fiber, protein, magnesium and vitamin E.
Almonds have been shown to lower blood sugar levels, reduced blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels.
Breakfast cookies should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container. They will keep for 7-10 days.
These cookies freeze great. I like to make a double or triple batch and then store them in the freezer for breakfasts and snacks. When you freeze them, they will last for up to 3 months. Let them thaw for a few minutes and then eat them cold, or you can zap them for a few seconds in the microwave and eat them warm.
Start your morning with a delicious and energizing treat with these spiced white chocolate craisin breakfast cookies. Packed with wholesome ingredients, these cookies are the perfect way to kickstart your day.
Start your day with a delicious and energizing treat! These spiced white chocolate craisin breakfast cookies are packed with nutrients to keep you fueled and focused all morning long.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. If you don’t have either, spray lightly with cooking spray to avoid sticking.
In a blender, preferably a twister jar from Blendtec, blend the almonds to create a thick almond butter. If it gets too hot, set aside to cool so the cookies will bake properly.
1 ⅓ Cup Raw Whole Fisher Nuts Almonds
Add 3/4 Cup almond butter to a large bowl along with the bananas, maple syrup, molasses, orange zest, and spices.
2 Overripe Bananas, 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup, 1 Tablespoon Molasses, 1/2 teaspoon Dried Orange Zest, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon Cloves, 1/4 teaspoon Ground Ginger
Mix, mashing the bananas as you stir so that they are well incorporated but small chunks remain.
Add the oats, chocolate chips and craisins and fold everything together.
2 ¼ Cups Old Fashioned Oats, 3/4 Cup White Chocolate Chips, 1/2 Cup Craisins
Using a cookie dough scoop or two spoons, scoop the dough into balls on the cookie sheet.
Press the tops gently to flatten them out as these will not spread at all.
Bake at 350 for 10 minutes and serve warm or place in a sealed container and store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
If you don’t want to make your own almond butter, substitute with 2/3 cup store-bought almond butter.

![Melt in Your Mouth Gluten-Free Monster Cookies [+Video] – Oh Sweet Basil](https://reportwire.org/wp-content/uploads/gluten-free-flourless-monster-cookies-recipe-12.jpg)
[ad_1]
Indulge in these delicious monster cookies that are not only gluten-free, but also loaded with oats, chocolate chips, M&M’s, and peanut butter. They are so chewy they practically melt in your mouth!
I’ve been on the hunt for a bomb monster cookie recipe and then I found one and adapted it very slightly and doubled it. It is from What Molly Made because literally no flourless peanut butter monster cookie recipe compares to hers.
Monster cookies are like an oatmeal cookie, m&m cookie, chocolate chip cookie and peanut butter cookie all smashed together in one. They are perfection! They are the best monster cookies!
There are a few different stories out there for how this cookie got its name, but my favorite is that it’s a little bit of everything just like Frankenstein. A monster! These cookies can also be know as kitchen sink cookies because they have everything but the kitchen sink in them. They are super adaptable to whatever mix-ins you and your family love.
You won’t find any flour or dairy products (substitute the m&m’s) in this cookie recipe! This is for you, my gluten-free and dairy-free friends! Here is what you need:
Keep scrolling to the recipe card down below for measurements for all the ingredients.
Monster gluten-free cookies are so easy that you don’t even need a stand mixer or an electric mixer if you don’t want to get it out. There’s no butter to whip, so it really is just mixing all the ingredients together. Here are the basic steps:
The complete recipe can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post. You can also save or print the recipe there.
Cookies can be quite temperamental, especially these cookies since they don’t have the flour for structure. Chilling the dough before baking is critical to keeping the cookies thick and chewy. Measuring all the ingredients accurately is also so important to having the right ratio of all the ingredients together. Another culprit for flat cookies is that the oven is too hot. All ovens cook a little different, so if you know your oven cooks hot, then maybe bake at 325 degrees F.
I mentioned earlier that this recipe was so versatile and easily adaptable to your favorite mix-ins. You can omit some of the mix-ins we use or substitute something else for them. Here are a few ideas:
The options are really endless when it comes to throwing everything but the kitchen sink into these cookies.
For people with certain dietary restrictions, these cookies are great because they can be made gluten free and dairy free.
They are super easy to make which makes them an awesome recipe to make with the kiddos. My youngest makes these on his own all the time!
Monster cookies are thick and chewy. They have the texture and flavor and you crave in a good hearty cookie.
Those m&m’s reel the kids in like nothing else. These cookies are so kid-friendly and with the peanut butter and oats, they are filling and satisfying.
The short answer is no. Haha! So sorry to disappoint everyone! They are still cookies and high in calories, sugar and fat. They do have a good amount of protein (16g) and fiber (6g). That being said, they are indulgent, so balance is key!
The dough will be very sticky, so don’t be alarmed it if seems stickier than your average cookie dough. It’s fine! They will turn out great!
Don’t skip the chilling time! Refrigerating the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and stay thick and chewy.
Make sure your ingredients are fresh, especially the baking soda. If your baking soda is expired, you won’t get the rise from it that you want.
I love to use a large cookie scoop so these cookies are super indulgent, but you can use any size scoop you want.
Save a few m&m’s and chocolate chips to stick on the top of the dough balls just before baking. It makes them look so pretty and appetizing as they bake.
Monster cookies store great at room temperature in an airtight container. They will keep for up to a week.
These cookies also freeze great. You can freeze them before or after baking. If you freeze them before baking, scoop them into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze them for an hour or so and then place the monster cookie dough balls into a freezer safe container.
If you freeze them after baking, let them cool completely and then place them in a freezer safe container. They will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Frozen dough can be baked from frozen. You will just need to add a minute or two to the baking time.
Monster cookies are a great make ahead cookie too. You can make the dough up to 2 days ahead of time before baking and follow the baking instruction as written.
Treat yourself to these delicious and easy-to-make monster cookies! Packed with oats, chocolate chips, and M&M’s, these chewy cookies are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. They are a new favorite cookie in our house!
Indulge in these delicious monster cookies that are not only gluten-free, but also loaded with oats, chocolate chips, M&M’s, and peanut butter. They are so chewy they practically melt in your mouth!

I love shrimp in all its forms, whether it’s fried, dished up in a garlicky scampi, or served cocktail-style. However, come summertime, all I want to eat is this avocado shrimp salad on repeat. For this recipe, I toss juicy, plump shrimp with cubes of ripe avocado, creamy mayo, chopped celery, shallot, cilantro, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. I’ll happily eat it for lunch, dinner, or as a late-night snack, heaped onto a slice of sturdy toasted bread, into a hot dog bun (bonus points if it’s toasted in a pan with melted butter first), or on top of some leafy greens. A colleague once told me that it was so good, she eats it straight from the bowl. Trust me, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, no matter the preferred eating method.

Visit any Italian market and, tucked among the olives, capers, and roasted red peppers, you’ll find giardiniera. To Italians, giardiniera (pronounced jar-din-AIR-ah) is a way of saying pickled vegetables. The condiment is also known as verdure sott’aceto, which translates to “vegetables under vinegar.” The vegetables are usually eaten with salads or as an antipasto, often accompanied by cheeses or cured meats, but it’s also delicious stuffed into an Italian beef sandwich.
Like many Italian dishes, there’s a traditional and an Italian-American version of giardiniera. The latter is referred to as “Chicago-style.” Italian-style giardiniera includes cauliflower, bell peppers, carrots, celery, and sometimes gherkins, and the vegetables are marinated in olive oil, red or white wine vinegar, herbs, and spices. Chicago-style giardiniera adds hot peppers to the mix, and the marinade contains little or no vinegar. This recipe falls squarely in the middle of these two iterations: It’s got lots of vinegary tang, plus the added heat of pepperoncinis.

Place the steaks on the grill. Cover and cook until dark grill marks form on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip the steaks, cover again, and cook until grill marks form on the second side, 3 to 4 minutes. Check the temperature: For medium-rare, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a steak should register 120ºF to 125ºF. If the steaks are not ready, continue to grill, flipping every minute or so, until the steak reaches the right temperature. If the steaks are browning too quickly, turn a gas grill down to medium-high or move the steaks to a cooler part of a charcoal grill.

These Sriracha Steak Lettuce Wraps are loaded with saucy steak and fresh veggies nestled in crisp lettuce leaves. If desired, top with a drizzle of yum yum sauce, cilantro, jalapeño and green onion for a deliciously spicy meal. Yields 4 (four lettuce wrap) servings.
Spicy is my middle name.
Actually, it’s Anne, but spicy would be my middle name if I had any say when my birth certificate was being typed up. However Laurie Spicy McNamara does sound a bit ridiculous now doesn’t it (or do you like it? It is starting to grow on me).
Speaking of spicy. These steak lettuce wraps are SO good and (in my opinion) have the perfect amount of heat. For this recipe, I like to use diced cube steak and once browned I toss it in a sweet and spicy sauce that has flecks of fresh ginger and garlic. I then fill tender Bibb lettuce leaves with a plethora of colorful veggies and add the sriracha steak filling, drizzle it all with yum yum sauce and top with green onion, cilantro and jalapeños.
As if these weren’t already 🥵.
for the sauce:
for the lettuce wraps:
optional toppings:
Start by adding 3 tablespoons of light brown sugar, 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon each finely chopped ginger and fresh garlic, 3 tablespoons of coconut aminos, the juice from 1 lime, 1 tablespoon of sriracha and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil.
Coconut aminos is a flavorful and salty sauce made from the fermented sap of coconut palm and sea salt, yet it does not taste like coconut at all. Its consistency and deeply brown color is similar to soy sauce. It’s also happens to be soy, gluten and wheat-free too. With that said, coconut aminos is a healthy substitute for those with a restrictive diet.
Give that a whisk to combine.
I like to peel ribbons of carrot, sliced red pepper and cucumber into strips, shred]purple cabbage, slice green onions and jalapeños.
Working with one cube steak at a time, slice into strips and then finely chop. It will look all crumbly, similar to ground beef.
Cube steak is usually the top round or sirloin cut, pounded with a meat tenderizer or ran through a fancy machine. And I’m here to tell you cube steak isn’t just for chicken frying. Nope. It’s so tender that when you run your knife through it a couple times it resembles ground beef, yet it’s steak. Steak which just so happens to be perfect in lettuce wraps.
Heat a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high to high heat. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of avocado oil and the chopped cube steak.
Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes until fully cooked and golden brown in spots. Remove and discard any fat that has rendered out.
Next pour in the sauce.
Simmer until the sauce has thickened.
Fill your lettuce leaves with the veggies you desire, add the steak filling and top with yum yum sauce, black sesame seeds, cilantro, green onions and jalapeños.
Spicy – check.
Gingery – check-check.
Delicious flavor and texture – check-check-check!
If you like steak, spice and lettuce wraps, well I’m betting that these sriracha steak lettuce wraps will be your jam.

I grew up eating steamed jasmine rice every single day for dinner, and it was lovingly made by my grandmother in an ancient electric rice cooker. The scent of jasmine rice still makes me think of Chinese food and home cooking, and it’s hands-down my favorite kind of rice — and a recipe I know by heart.
