The secret to creamy salsa? Raw pumpkin seeds and avocado.

Creamy, tangy, and completely dairy-free. Raw pepitas create a surprisingly rich base with tomatillos, avocado, lime, and cilantro. Five minutes in a blender, an hour in the fridge to let the flavors meld, and you've got a salsa that sits somewhere between salsa verde and guacamole. Tangier than guac, creamier than tomatillo salsa, with a subtle nuttiness that makes it genuinely hard to stop eating.

Easy Mexican Rojo Rice

Fluffy rice in 30 minutes with ingredients you already have.

Traditional rojo rice requires blending fresh tomatoes, onions, and garlic into a puree. The shortcut? Tomato paste. It gives you that gorgeous red color and rich, authentic flavor without the extra dishes.

Toast the rice in olive oil first for fluffy, separated grains. Add diced carrots for sweetness and texture. Simmer with chicken bouillon and tomato paste. Done in 30 minutes. Perfect alongside tacos, enchiladas, or carnitas.

Two unexpected ingredients make these deliciously fudgy!

Made with einkorn flour and coconut sugar, these brownies have a deeper, almost caramel-like richness that regular ones just don't have. And they're not sickeningly sweet - the coconut sugar keeps them balanced. Einkorn's nutty flavor pairs so perfectly with deep cocoa, and its lower-gluten structure makes them naturally chewy, gooey 🤎🍫

Crackly on top, gooey in the middle, completely dairy-free. No mixer required—just a bowl, a spatula, and patience while they cool.

Fresh Pasta Anyone?

You'll never go back to store-bought once you make pasta from scratch. And it's just two ingredients!

Just einkorn flour by and eggs. That's it! This silky, tender pasta is dreamy with a nutty richness you can't get from a box.

And...an added bonus: Einkorn's ancient gluten structure makes it easier to digest for those with gluten sensitivity, and the flavor is on another level.Honestly, it's good enough to eat without sauce.

Einkorn Olive Oil Cake with Orange Honey Glaze 🍊

Tender, moist cake made from einkorn flour and high quality extra virgin olive oil from Olio Piro No butter needed because the olive oil does all the work, creating a crumb that stays moist for days with a subtle, fruity richness.

After testing this recipe, I bake with olive oil all the time. It doesn't taste like you'd think with sweets—it adds moisture and depth without being savory. The orange honey glaze takes minutes and turns a simple cake into something special. Serve with a dollop of yogurt. (Brands are not sponsored- just what I use and love!)

Tender, juicy pork carnitas with crispy caramelized edges…Yes, PLEASE! 🌮 We’ve got a gluten-free, dairy-free, and high-protein recipe on hand!

These aren't your average carnitas. Charred poblano peppers, fresh citrus, and whole warm spices transform tough pork cuts into melt-in-your-mouth bites of craveable goodness!

A few secrets? Pre-salting (dry-brine) for at least an hour but preferably overnight. Low braising until fork-tender. And finally, crisping these flavorful bits of meat under the broiler or pan-frying until its golden brown from rendering in its own fat.

Perfect for meal prep, freezes beautifully, and tastes even better the next day. And don't forget the tortillas! My fresh corn tortilla recipe is the perfect vessel for these beauties. (find recipe on the site).

My favorite ways to top these:
Traditional – cilantro, finely chopped onion, and freshly squeezed lime
Modern twist – feta, honey-lime red cabbage, and arugula
Fresh & bright – roasted verde salsa and finely sliced iceberg lettuce
