Healthy food can be created in so many ways – gluten-free or not. I don’t know about you, but I find so much inspiration from dishes coming out of the kitchens of some of my favorite gluten-full cooks. Good food is good food.
I may not be able to eat it all but I can always learn something. So, gluten-free or not, sugar-free or not – everyone is welcomed with open arms to share their healthier ideas about food at Slightly Indulgent Tuesday.
Last Week’s Healthier *Pumpkin* Highlights
We had an overwhelming number of pumpkin dishes last week. I happen to love pumpkin – and to be honest I eat it right from the can with a little stevia and cinnamon. (Yes, I put it in a bowl first…should I post a recipe?)

Stumble & Tweet…
Please help spread the word about healthier food – Stumble & Tweet this post along with other recipes you love from the round-up each week. I’ve been Stumbling & Tweeting as many posts as I can…I’d love your help in getting the word out.
Linking Up Guidelines!
- Recipes DO NOT have to be sugar-free or gluten-free – just healthier in some way. The idea is to share our ideas and inspire each other in the kitchen.
- Please don’t link give-aways or book reviews without recipes – the intent of this event is to compile recipes that give people options.
- When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter:
Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free (Oven Roasted Beets) - Please link to your individual post, not your homepage and link back to this post so that your readers can find the recipes here.
I don’t enjoy deleting links but some get deleted every week.
If you find that your link has been deleted it’s because it doesn’t link to your post or you haven’t linked back here. E-mail me with questions or if you need help.
This linky list is now closed.

Thanks for posting all those yummy pumpkin treats. Now I now where to come a’ lookin’! I hope you like this week’s contribution. You can use any kind of flour in it and I think the rest is gluten-free. I’ve been making this healthy apple crisp for YEARS! Enjoy!

I just do not have good luck with these new link tools! Every time I click on the “click here to enter” I get an error before I have a chance to even try to share my link. Hmm I dunno. I wanted to share with you a Vietnamese cabbage roll soup I made for the latest Daring Cook’s challenge! A light and mild soup great for the cool weather, naturally gluten and dairy free, and very low carb as well. Well I linked up on my post anyways, maybe I will try again later to add it here
Loving all the pumpkin recipes!!!

@Jenn, I’m so sorry the linky is giving you fits.
Do you mean you can’t even get to the page where it says to add you link & then you have the option to add your pic from a site or from your computer? Ugh. If you get the error again can you copy and paste the text and send it to me? I know it’s a bother but I can turn it in as a help ticket. I’m sure they can trouble shoot it. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Amy! This week I’m posting my new favorite muffin recipe…it’s not only gluten-free, but grain-free as well. And it only has one gluten-free flour—which is amazing in and of itself. Coconut flour! These are the most moist muffins I’ve ever had..GF or not! They do not taste gluten-free at all either. They are so moist, I feel a little guilty eating them because they seem just like a cake my mom makes with like a whole cup of oil in it—but these don’t come anywhere close! I love these because of the low amount of sweetener…just agave and stevia…and just perfectly sweet and moist…You’d never know this was GF! Approved by all my friends and roommates too!

I can’t get the linky to work at the moment. I even get an error when I try to report the error.
. But, you can check out my Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Granola here. I also made this recipe using quinoa flakes instead of oats for a different flavor and added nutrition. 
I’ll try the linky again later, Amy.
Love all the pumpkin goodness and everything else! It’s always a delight to come here on Tuesdays. Thank you so much for hosting and to everyone else for participating!

I am loving all the pumpkin recipes from last week! They have inspired me to get into the kitchen today and experiment with pumpkin! I’m thinking either a pumpkin pudding or risotto, yum! This week I am linking a delicious no cook salad. I made it in 5 minutes and the flavor combinations/textures are wonderful. It’s a celery and apple salad with honey-lemon vinaigrette.

@Maggie, I’m so glad you joined in the Chili Cook-Off Maggie!! I hope you’re feeling better. Colds are yucky.
BTW – did you get the natural food coloring? I called around and my local Whole Foods carries it. I’m picking some up tomorrow.

@Amy, I didn’t get the food coloring. Yet! Pete has a credit for amazon so I think I’ll get it through him. My nearest Whole Foods is too far! I want it sooner! Let me know what you think.

I may not have time to use them right away but it’ll at least be fun to own them. I miss food coloring.

After all those lovely pumpkin recipes last week, I thought I’d feel energized, but some germ had different ideas. I spent a few days napping instead of working, and really got behind! Hence, I had a little help with my latest post
I’m really looking forward to my first try at roasting beets! I love beets, and beet greens, but I’m not so fond of the mess from all that really RED broth. Plus, I really like the way roasting concentrates and brings out the flavors of the veggies I’ve tried so far.
Do you prefer to steam the greens when you cook them, or just “wilt” them in a skillet like for making a wilted salad?

@Pat, Great questions, Pat. I saute my beet greens in a little olive oil with diced onions. I love them like this. I’ve never steamed them but I’m sure you could.
