Welcome back! I’m excited to see what food you’ve made healthier this week – whether it’s gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free, vegan, or just plain healthier.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
We had a little bit of everything…
- Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins from Tasty Eats at Home
- Tex-Mex Stuffed Peppers from Modern Comfort Food
- Shrimp Chorizo & Cauliflower Rice from The W.H.O.L.E. Gang
- Pecan Slice Cookies from The Mommy Bowl
A Give-Away
Make sure to stop by and enter my give-away for Ricki Heller’s new e-book, Desserts without Compromise.
A Fun Event!!
I’m one of 8 bloggers participating in Squash Fest hosted by The Gluten-Free Homemaker. Every Thursday from September 30th to November 18th, she’ll be featuring a squash recipe, tip, or technique. Make sure to stop by and get your squash fix!
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 – (Mushroom & Sage Stuffed Bell Peppers) - 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 hate 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.

Variety is the name of the game here!
I linked up an adaptation of Katie’s (Kitchen Stewardship) Popeye Bars. What a great, flexible recipe!

Yay! This week I’m linking on some buckwheat crêpes – it was my first time ever making them, and they loved being gluten free! The peach filling was rather simple, but tasty -just softened in a little bit of butter with some maple syrup and vanilla, the perfect fresh dessert

Thank you for the spotlight! This week I shared something I’ve not eaten in a long time, Au Gratin potatoes. It’s amazing how little cheese you really need to make this dish. Feel free to use even less if you want.

Many thanks, Amy, for highlighting one of my recipes in this post. Although I don’t routinely live a sugar- and gluten-free life, I’m such a big fan of your wonderful blog.

@Barbara @moderncomfortfood, I love your stuffed peppers recipe. And, feel free to link up any week – recipes don’t have to be sugar-free or gluten-free; only healthier.
I love your blog, too. You have a unique sense of style that carries through your recipes, design, and photos.

Grrr!
Sorry Amy my caption was supposed to read “Flourless” instead of Fourless. Lol Well I didn’t meet the sugar free but I definitely met the Gluten Free this week. Woohoo!! Let’s see there’s eggs, (healthy) chocolate and sugar (delicous & indulgent) and again it’s GF!! Thanks for hosting!!

My post is Gluten-free Sweet Black Thai Rice with Sunflower Seeds and Veggies, which has rich, eye-appealing color and includes satisfying whole-grain fiber that doesn’t taste woody, but has a mild nutty flavor. The whole-grain version of black rice actually turns a rich, deep purple when cooked.

@Pat, I’ve never tried black rice but have heard that it does get that beautiful purple color. I’ll put it on my ‘to try’ list.

When I first made this, I was sure, just from looking at it in my cast iron pan, that it wouldn’t be anything special. But when I tasted it, I was so amazed. Sometimes simple ingredients can turn into surprisingly delicious results!

Oh sad! I guessed I missed linking up! I couldn’t figure out how to link what I needed before so I came back and it was closed. I suppose there are getting to be too many entries, eh? Everything looks so good!
