When the days are getting longer and the sun is shining brighter, it can only mean one thing -- it's officially burger season! There's nothing better than firing up the grill (or cast iron skillet if you're like me and don't have grill access) and enjoying a delicious meal with friends and family. This summer, take your burger game to the next level with these amazing turkey burgers. I love turkey burgers because they are so versatile! Ground turkey easily takes on flavor and my Gluten Free Teriyaki Turkey burgers are no exception. They're packed with flavor from garlic, ginger, and teriyaki sauce, and they come together in just 30 minutes. Plus, they're topped with a zesty, colorful slaw that adds the perfect crunch. Whether you're hosting a backyard BBQ or just enjoying a laid-back evening, these burgers are sure to be a hit. Let's get grilling!

Serve with lettuce, asian slaw, avocado, and a little more teriyaki sauce on top! My favorite gluten free burger buns are from O’doughs or Canyon Bakehouse.

Crockpot carnitas are by the most made meal in my house. It is a consistently delicious and easy to make meal – just dump the ingredients in a crockpot and wait a few hours!

Whenever I am on the hunt for a gluten free treat, I always gravitate towards a gluten free scone! I love the flavor you can pack into a little scone and wide variety of flavor combinations you can create (see my Blueberry Lemon Scone recipe for more inspo)! My Gluten Free Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Scones are flaky but not dry. There is a richness to them from the sour cream and butter, but it doesnt stop you from going back for seconds! Prep Time: 20  minutes   Cook Time: 25  minutes Total Time: 45 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups  Gluten Free All Purpose Flour 1 tsp Xanthan Gum 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Salt 1 stick of butter, cold 1 Egg ¼ cup Brown Sugar 1 tsp Vanilla 1 cup Sour Cream ½ cup Mini Chocolate Chips In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Cube the stick of butter and cut it into the flour mixture. You can use two forks or a pastry dough blender. Combine until the mixture becomes crumbly. Then mix in the mini chocolate chips. In a separate bowl whisk together the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and sour cream. Fold your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients until it starts to come together. Don’t be alarmed if it is still a little crumbly. Dust your counter and the dough with some flour and lightly push the dough together, being careful to not to overwork the dough. If you spend too much time forming the dough, the butter will melt. Shape the dough into a circle about 8-9inches across & an inch thick. Cut into 8 even triangles and carefully transfer to your pan. If you want a mini scone, cut the triangles in half. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.

There is not much I love more than carrot cake! My family's recipe is infamous -- it is decadent and flavorful and a staple at many holidays and birthdays. I wanted to take this well loved recipe and turn it into a muffin recipe! To me, muffins are lighter, a little bit healthier, and faster to whip up! To accomplish this, the primary change I made to the recipe, is subbing out the Olive Oil for applesauce! My gluten free carrot cake muffins have all the flavor and texture of my family's carrot cake, but are lighter and perfect for when you are on the go! Prep Time: 15 min Cook Time: 30 min Total Time: 45 min Makes: 12 Muffins Ingredients: 1 cup GF All Purpose Flour 1 tsp Baking Powder 1 tsp Baking Soda 1 tsp Salt 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon 1 tsp Ground Nutmeg 2 Eggs 1 cup Granulated White Sugar 2 tsp Vanilla Extract ½ cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce 1 cups Shredded Carrots ½ cup Crushed Pineapple, drained ½  cup chopped Pecans or Walnuts ½  cup Shredded Sweetened Coconut Preheat your oven to 350F and line or grease a muffin tin. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a larger bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, vanilla, and applesauce. Then add in the shredded carrot, shredded coconut, and crushed pineapple. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Then fold in the nuts. Evenly distribute the batter into your muffin tin, which should be about ⅓ of a cup of batter per muffin. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the pan  for 10-15 before removing and placing on a cooling rack. Enjoy!

I've said it once and I'll say it again and again -- you don't hate salads, you just don't know how to make good ones! Salad needs complimenting flavors and texture and a perfect dressing that brings it all together. My Radicchio & Brussel Sprout Salad does just that. The tartness of the granny smith apple with the bit of pepperiness from the shallot, pairs perfectly with the sweeter radicchio and bitter brussel sprouts. The goat cheese adds a nice creaminess and the walnuts add the perfect crunch. A simple dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and crushed red pepper, bring it all together! You'll certainly be coming back for seconds of this salad!

The radicchio and brussel sprouts should be thinly sliced. For the granny smith apple, slice into thin matchsticks. For the shallot, dice into small pieces. Place a pan on the stove over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sautee the brussel sprouts for about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt & pepper. Once the brussel sprouts have cooled, toss in a large bowl with the radicchio, granny smith apple, shallot, walnuts, and goat cheese. For the dressing, take the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, honey, and crushed red pepper. Whisk together and pour over the salad. Toss to combine.

Every brunch needs a good scone, but what happens when you are gluten free? Most gluten free scones fall apart, but not these ones!

My Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls are a house favorite and since I truly love working with the dough (who knew you could say that about gluten free!), I figured I just had to come up with more things to fill it with! Chocolate and hazelnut is one of my favorite combinations, so it was only fitting to put in in between my perfect gluten free sweet roll dough! The addition of the crushed hazelnuts adds a nice texture and the espresso glaze is the perfect balance to the decadent filling! Prep Time: 75 minutes   Cook Time: 35  minutes  Total Time: 110 minutes Makes 8 rolls For the dough: ¼ cup Whole Psyllium Husk 1 cup Water 2 ½ cups Gluten Free Flour* 1 packet Instant Yeast 2 tbsp Sugar 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Baking Powder 1 cup milk 1 Egg 3 tbsp Butter For the filling: 1 cup Chocolate Hazelnut Spread ½ cup Hazelnuts, chopped For the glaze**: 1 ½ cup Powdered Sugar 1 tbsp Espresso Powder 2-3 tbsp Milk of choice In a small bowl, combine the psyllium husk & water. Set aside until a gel forms. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add in your flour, instant yeast, sugar, baking powder and salt. Whisk together. To the mixing bowl add your egg, milk, butter, and the psyllium husk mixture and mix on medium speed for 3 minutes, allowing the dough to knead together. For this step I use the dough hook to bring everything together. Cover the bowl and set aside to rise for 30 minutes. Sprinkle a clean surface with a little bit of flour and roll out your dough into a ¼ inch thick rectangle. Soften your chocolate-hazelnut spread in the microwave so that it is easier to spread and then evenly distribute across the dough. Sprinkle crushed hazelnuts on top. Carefully roll the dough to form a log and cut the log into 8 pieces. You can eyeball the slices, but I like to use a measuring tape to keep each roll as even as possible. Add the rolls to a dish that has been greased (a cake round or pie dish works well!), cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat  your oven to 400F. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes. If you want gooey rolls, bake for 25 minutes. For slightly firmer rolls, bake for 30 minutes. When the timer goes off, turn off the oven, open the oven door a few inches, and leave the rolls in the oven for 10 minutes. *I have tested this recipe with both King Arthur Measure for Measure Flour (1:1)  and Gluten Free All-Purpose Flours. The best results are with the 1:1, but if all you have is All-Purpose, just add a little extra flour as needed because it gets stickier in my experience. **Add more or less milk depending upon how thick you want your glaze.

It's not a Super Bowl celebration without soft pretzels! Living in the Philly area, any gathering, party, hang out, you name it, had soft pretzels and the Super Bowl is no exception!

Set aside until it becomes a gel. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, brown sugar, instant yeast, salt, and baking powder. Whisk together until combined. Add the milk, egg, melted butter, and psyllium husk to the stand mixer. Using the dough hook, mix until the dough pulls off the sides or about 4-5 minutes. Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough in the bowl. Cover with a towel and let rise for about 45 minutes. Preheat your oven to 425F and bring a pot of water to boil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour the surface and roll out the dough. Use a pizza cut into even strips. Roll the strip into a 15 inch rope, twist and shape into a pretzel. Once your water has come to a boil, add your baking soda and sugar. Once the foam has settled, add your pretzels in batches to the water bath. The pretzels will immediately sink but will float to the top after a few seconds. Transfer the pretzels to your baking sheet and lightly dust with sea salt or any coarse salt of your choosing. Bake for 18-20 minutes, let them cool, and enjoy! If you want to make the pretzels ahead of time, you can shape the pretzels and freeze them. When you are ready to bake them, defrost for 20 minutes before adding to the water bath and baking!
