The Best Deviled Egg Recipe - A Classic
It's no secret that I'm a deviled eggs connoisseur of sorts. I've professed my love for smoked salmon deviled eggs, pickled beet deviled eggs — even drunken deviled eggs. But silly me skipped right over the classic deviled egg recipe, and I feel that it's best we back track and share how to make the […]

Plant-Based Protein Balls - PB&J Chocolate Chip
A grab & go protein snack that doesn't contain grain, gluten, or dairy is harder to come by than one might think. It's not until you develop sensitivities to these foods and start reading every food label that you realize that nearly all protein snacks contain, whey, rice, quinoa, grain-based syrups, oats, or any number […]

Chipotle Chicken Dip - Grain & Dairy Free | Chris Cooks
If I were a little more aware of what sports things happen when, I probably would have posted this a few weeks ago. But really, a good dip is always good. And this one is good. Free from grain, gluten, dairy, soy, egg - so creamy, a touch of spice, and lots of flavor. If […]

Vegan-Friendly Chocolate Peppermint Caramel Corn | Chris Cooks
I've shared a version of my caramel corn in the past, but since that time I've tweaked the recipe a tad and I really think it's become something out-of-this-world special. Especially considering that it's dairy free. Now, Jules is typically grain free. But every year around Christmas she asks me to make a batch of […]

Sugar Dusted Cranberries | Chris Cooks
Ok, I know some of y'all out there think cranberries aren't worth the time. And while I personally love a good homemade cranberry sauce, I do realize that the gelatinized version that comes from the can isn't always the most appealing. Copper Pots | Copper Canisters | Pepper Mill | Candle Holders | Taper Candlesticks | Mixing Bowl […]

BBQ Pork Belly Bites | Chris Cooks
Everyone has their game-day snack, and this one is mine. During the summer these are amazing on the Traeger, but winter in Idaho doesn't always cooperate so this is my alternate - all you need is an oven. You can use whatever your favorite bbq sauce is, but if you're looking to try something new, […]

Chris Cooks: Vegan Holiday Brittle
You know that friend with the dietary restrictions? Well guess what. They actually love treats! Of course they do - don't you? Food restrictions can be rough, especially during the holidays when you can't have all the things that maybe you used to. Or having kids with restrictions and wishing you could just give them something […]

What are your favorite (healthy) snacks?!
(Full disclosure: I'm writing this at 2 p.m., and it's snacktime...) I haven't been the best at showing progress in the office much because we have SO MUCH shuffling to do in here, but I recently shared a story where we were stocking some snacks and drinks in our new SMEG fridge (we got the […]

Dairy Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Corn (Also Gluten Free, Vegan)
Early in our marriage, I would make caramel corn every week or two. It started off pretty simple and straight forward, but I wanted to switch things up so I started experimenting. I landed on a combination of chocolate and peanut butter in the caramel, plus a mix of Chex and popcorn, finished with nuts, […]
