Gluten Free Monthly Favorites: The Creamiest Vegan Chocolate Spread, the GF Teen Summit and More
Long time no talk! By the time you?Re analyzing this post, I?Ll be frantically finishing my very last assessments and packing as much as power back to Colorado Springs for the summer season. I skipped sharing my favorite moments of March, in particular due to the fact the month mainly consisted of work, writing, and grad college...Which means that I actually have even extra delicious gluten loose eats, grad faculty adventures and interesting news to share this time round.
What gluten free and vegan chocolate unfold has become my cutting-edge sweet dependancy? What's the Gluten Free Teen Summit all approximately? And what are you able to assume from the blog now that summer - and Celiac Awareness Month! - is subsequently right here? You recognise the drill by now: keep scrolling to find out all of these answers and greater!
What I?M Eating
Trays of roasted broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Ever considering the fact that I discovered that you could crisp-ify frozen broccoli and frozen Brussels sprouts by baking them at a excessive temp to your oven, I?Ve been loading up on the 89 cent luggage of both from Aldi?S. Roasted veggies avocado = one very glad lady.
Too many homemade energy balls to count. I suppose this is expected considering I needed all the energy I could get to push through my final two months of the semester, but energy balls have seriously been making up the bulk of my night snacks. Recently on Instagram, I shared the recipe for these “Birthday Cake Batter” superfood energy balls featuring Manitoba Hemp Seeds (which I represent as an ambassador!). These cake batter bliss balls are addictive and sweetened mainly with banana, so I’d definitely recommend giving the recipe a try.
Homemade banana ice cream upgraded with fun superfood mixes like Matakana’s Superchoc, açaÃ, turmeric and even spirulina (in small doses). Considering that I don’t add much superfood powder to my nice cream, I doubt the powders are giving me tons of health benefits...but I can’t be the only one who thinks a variety of colors always makes food taste better, right? Tell me if you’re a rainbow food lover in the comments!
Last but not least, the dreamiest, dreamiest chocolate spread thanks to the Date Lady. I won this spread along with a few other goodies in an Instagram giveaway and OMG...I’ve never tried a dairy free chocolate spread that is THIS creamy. The date puree seriously makes all the difference, and I love that dates also offer additional nutrition (like lots of dietary potassium, fiber, iron and magnesium) compared to other sweeteners.
What I?M Doing/Loving:
Surviving a totally adventurous first go to to Minneapolis with a collection of gals from my MFA software. We?D deliberate an epic weekend of dancing, strolling around the city and exploring...And then a ancient blizzard hit Minnesota, and essentially snowed us in for maximum of our weekend. The snow weekend actually wasn?T ideal. (We went out one night throughout the snowstorm and I became a chunk terrified while my buddy?S car got stuck in a snowdrift, we noticed numerous motors caught and deserted within the snowy parkway and watched a automobile almost spun out in downtown Minneapolis. The matters women do for pizza.) However, I learned a way to loose said stuck vehicle (thanks to very type gentlemen who pulled over once they saw us pushing), enjoyed some precise bonding time with the women in our AirBNB and loved exploring the Minneapolis Art Institute earlier than the snow close it down.
Good ol? Midwestern male hospitality. (See image under for tale time). Nice human beings make snow in April a bit less depressing.
The cease of the semester! I?M certain I?Ll do a full reflection publish on my first year of grad college afterward, however I?Ll just say that this semester changed into a LOT better than the primary semester. I were given lots more innovative writing finished that I?M happy with and made socializing more of a better priority. However, I?M without a doubt extra than equipped for a ruin from steady writing and coaching, and for some time with the own family.
What I?M Planning:
Spending summer in Colorado Springs! Although I had the option of staying in Mankato for the summer, I haven’t seen my family since Christmas and I’m very excited to have more time to explore Colorado this summer. I’m still going to be busy working (send me some good job hunting vibes, please!), lesson planning, blogging and writing, but the change of scenery will be greatly appreciated.
Partnering up with some epic manufacturers for Celiac Awareness Month and the relaxation of summer. I can?T supply away any information but, however if you love pasta, you?Re going to be drooling over considered one of my upcoming sponsored recipes...
Speaking at the first Generation GF Teen Summit & Family Retreat in Orlando, Florida! I’ve been sitting on this news for a couple of months now, but I'm no less excited at the opportunity to speak this June about how to eat gluten free in a college without gluten free options. The summit will feature big names in the celiac community like Dr. Peter Green, Director of the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia. This will also be my first chance to meet Taylor from Hale Life and Erica from Celiac and the Beast in person. If all of that isn't cool enough, my partner in gluten free - my mom - is coming with me, which will make the whole experience even more special.
When I started this blog over four years ago, I never imagined it would lead to me being asked to speak at an event like this, so I feel extremely honored and grateful for every reader that’s helped me get this far. I’ll be sure to blog all about the experience after, but you can also follow me on Instagram and watch my Insta stories for live updates when I go! You can also find out more information about the Gluten Free Teen Summit hereandhere...and if you have any recommendations on where to eat in downtown Disney (in public parts/not the parks), I’d love to hear.
My second semester of grad school - and the last two months of March and April - definitely flew by in a blur of classes, teaching, blogging and lots of tasty gluten free eats. Hopefully, my summer will go by a little more slowly...and I’m excited to see what my summer ends up consisting of since so much of it is still undetermined. I do know, though, that there will be more adventures, more good food and more exciting blog posts in the near future - and I can’t wait to share them with all of you, as usual.
Until then, safe travels to anyone else traveling this week, and I’ll talk to you again from Colorado!
What have you been up to these past few months? Any exciting plans for May? Tell me in the comments!
