This Whole30 healthy Zuppa Toscana is rich and creamy, spicy, and absolutely bursting with flavor. You'll love this filling, Whole30 soup anytime, but especially during cold, wintry months. Dairy free, gluten free, grain free, and sugar-free, this is one of the best Whole30 soups out there and my favorite healthy soup!

Can You Really Make This Iconic Soup at Home?

We started a recent Whole30 with this soup, and I have to say: we did it right. I even posted a snap (?) on Instagram, lamenting how oh. so. hard. it is to do a Whole30, with lots of crying emojis... I'm subtle.

In previous rounds, I tired quickly of large slabs of animal protein, so I knew I had to shake things up a bit this round. And leading a group Whole30 and Facebook support group (join us!) means coming up with new and delish recipes to keep things interesting.

Et voilà, my friends, the Whole30 Zuppa Toscana. Who isn't a fan of the creamy, spicy soup at your favorite Italian-food chain, laden with potatoes and kale and bacon and Italian sausage and "ohhhh boy". Especially during the winter, my cravings for creamy, filling soups multiply like four-hundredfold, so we find ourselves in a tricky spot.

A spot where you're 100% committed to doing a strict Whole30, but you really, really want Zuppa Toscana.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

This Whole30 soup is rich and creamy like traditional Zuppa Toscana but totally dairy free.

It starts with an easy but delicious Italian sausage recipe, made from scratch! But don't be nervous - it's super quick and couldn't be simpler.

The combination of coconut milk, kale, potatoes, Italian sausage, and bacon make this healthy Zuppa Toscana super filling and a one-pot meal.

This Whole30 Zuppa Toscana is based on a regular Zuppa Toscana recipe, subbing simple ingredients for the dairy, grains, and sugar. I recommend making your own Italian sausage, which is insanely easy, but you could use compliant storebought Italian sausage, too, of course. Make sure you use compliant bacon if you're on a Whole30, as well. It can be tricky to find bacon that doesn't have sugar in it, but Whole Foods has a few brands of that, as well.

I have a tendency to be super hungry on the Whole30, like eat. all. the. things., but this soup kept me super full all night. I might have had to bite my knuckles to get past my craving for Glutino pretzels on tap, shoveled into my face during our nightly screenings of Boardwalk Empire, but it wasn't from hunger, that's for us.

That, my friends, is a habit that, I have to say, I kind of still miss. Baby steps, fam. Baby steps.

Variations

If you avoid potatoes, try cauliflower florets in place of the diced potatoes. You can even try celery root!

Try ground chicken in place of the pork, if you prefer or don't eat pork.

If you're allergic to coconut or are worried it might have a "coconutty" flavor, swap the coconut milk out for cashew cream. Combine 1 cup raw cashews with 3/4 cup water in a high-speed blender and blend until completely smooth.

Chef's Tips

Don't overcook the soup after you've added the kale. You want it bright green and just wilted.

Make a big batch of this Whole30 healthy Zuppa Toscana on Sunday and eat it all week. Comfiest meal prep ever!

Leave out the extra 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes in the soup if you're sensitive to heat.

Make your Italian sausage: combine all ingredients and mix well with your hands. Alternately, simply pour all ingredients into a large pot and mix with a spoon while browning. Brown the sausage in a large heavy-bottomed pot, preferably a Dutch oven, breaking up with a spoon or spatula. Remove from pot, drain, and set aside.

Fry bacon until crisp and remove with a slotted spoon. Don't get rid of bacon grease! Stir in the onions and garlic and cook until soft and translucent.

Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and boil about 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender. Reduce the heat to medium and add coconut milk and sausage; stir until smooth. Add in kale and bacon and cook until kale is bright green and just wilted.

Serve!

Homemade Whole30 Italian Sausage

If making Italian sausage: combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Alternately, combine all ingredients in the saucepan and stir well when browning.

In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed medium pot over medium heat, add Italian sausage and sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over. Use a spoon to break up the pieces. When browned and cooked through, drain and set aside.

Cook the bacon pieces in the same Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 5-10 minutes. Remove the crisp bacon and set aside - don't get rid of the bacon fat! Stir in the onions and garlic; cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Pour the chicken broth into the Dutch oven with the onions and garlic, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the potatoes, and boil until fork tender, about 10-20 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the coconut milk and the cooked sausage; heat through. Add the bacon and the kale into the soup just before serving and cook 'til the kale is bright green and softened. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Homemade cat treats are such a fun thing to make, and your cat(s) will absolutely love you if you give them these tasty salmon cat treats!

Homemade Cat Treats Recipe

Dill is a sweet mama's boy who comes running to the sound of his name, bites way too much, and stole our hearts immediately. He doesn't have a big appetite for food, but treats are a different story. This boy loves treats.

I love that this Homemade Cat Treats recipe has only three ingredients. I only want to feed him the best, and I know exactly what's in these: salmon, egg, and flour- nothing more.

Give your cat the BEST cat treats to show your love. Your cats will go crazy for this simple homemade cat treats recipe!

We all adore our pets- they're part of our families! And these three-ingredient salmon nuggets are filled with only good, real ingredients, so I feel great about feeding these to Dill.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Show your love: We may not be able to show our love with home-cooked meals the way we do with the rest of our family, but we can still make delicious cat treats for them.

All-natural ingredients: I know exactly what's in these: salmon, egg, and flour- nothing more.

They're adorable! Use a tiny goldfish-shaped cutter to make these treats look just like people's snacks.

These Homemade Cat Treats only contain three ingredients, so they're pretty simple to make! The idea of making cat treats might be new to a lot of you, but it's an easy process- no different really from baking something for humans.

I mean you could even eat these treats since there are no strange ingredients! My point is that it's just regular food, REAL FOOD, baked into tiny little treats for your cat.

How to Make Homemade Cat Treats

1. Place the canned salmon, undrained, in a food processor.

2. Pulse the salmon to chop finely.

3. Combine the chopped salmon, egg, and flour in a stand mixer until it forms a dough.

4. Roll out 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface and cut into shapes.

5. Bake until lightly browned and crispy: about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Do I Have to Use Salmon in This Recipe?

Any canned, oily fish will work in this recipe, and your kitty will thank you for being so creative. Try tuna, mackerel, or even canned shrimp!

Where Do I Get That Cute Goldfish Cutter?

I can fix that! Here's my affiliate link to get one. If you prefer, use any cookie cutter that is about 3/4-inch.

How Long Do Homemade Cat Treats Last?

If you store these cat treats properly in an airtight container, they will keep for a couple of weeks.

Have You Considered Getting This Recipe Published?

Funny you should ask! It was such an honor to have these treats printed in the August 2015 edition of Family Circle Magazine along with some other awesome pet treat recipes! Dill was beyond excited to see his name in print. Thank you Family Circle!

I hope your little balls of fur enjoy these treats as much as Dill does! He loves the salmon flavor and can't seem to get enough of them. I love being able to bake something for him too.
If you make this recipe be sure to upload a photo in the comment section below or leave a rating. Enjoy!

Three-Ingredient Salmon Cat Treats

Pulse 10 ounces of undrained, canned salmon in a food processor to chop as finely as possible.

In a stand mixer, combine salmon, 1 egg (beaten), and 2 cups whole wheat flour until dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add up to 1/3 cup water. If it's is too wet or sticky, add a bit more flour. The dough should be tacky but not sticky.

Roll dough on a floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick. Use a 3/4-inch cookie cutter in the shape of your choice to create your treats.

Place treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350° for about 20 minutes. When they're slightly browned and crunchy, they're done.

Allow to cool before serving.

Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Any 3/4-inch cookie cutter will work fine for these treats. If you'd like to use the goldfish-shaped cutter in this post, here's the link.

Your furry friend is an important member of the family, and that means they deserve homemade treats too! Sure, you can go out and buy a box of dog treats, but these Peanut Butter and Pumpkin Dog Treats are made with love - and they're just as easy to make as making a batch of cookies.

Reviewers have rated these homemade dog treats 5-stars over 800 times, and your pup will definitely give it two paws up too!

Homemade Dog Treat Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make the homemade pumpkin dog treats:

Whole Wheat Flour
Whole wheat flour is packed with nutrients for your pup, like fiber, protein, and antioxidants. You can use all-purpose flour in a pinch, but it won't provide as many nutrients.

Eggs
Eggs are great for dogs and add protein, fatty acids, and vitamins to their diet.

Canned Pumpkin
Make sure you get pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. The pumpkin pie filling can have added ingredients, like sugar, which isn't great for dogs.

Peanut Butter
Use natural peanut butter or double check the ingredients and make sure the peanut butter doesn't contain Xylitol, which can be harmful to dogs.

Salt
The salt will help the treats' flavor - and it's perfectly safe for dogs in moderation.

Cinnamon
Not only does cinnamon give the treats a delicious flavor, but also it can provide some great nutritional benefits (like antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and better heart health).

Water
This optional step will keep the dog treats together and make it more workable for you.

How to Make Homemade Dog Treats

Making homemade dog treats is just as easy as making cookies for you and your family. In fact, they're prepared in almost the same way.

Simply combine all your ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer. Then transfer the mixture to a work surface and work it with your hands until a dough has formed.

Roll out the dough and either cut it into strips or stamp it with your favorite cookie cutters.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes, until crunchy. Make sure to wait until they are completely cool before giving it to your dog.

Benefits of Making Dog Treats At Home

Of course, the biggest benefit is that your furry friend will love these homemade treats! But beyond that, you also know exactly what is going into the treats and how it will impact your pup's health.

Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise

"Two sets of very large paws up! Both my wolfhounds love them. I found it much easier to work with if I added only 2c of flour then used the other 1/2c to add a little at a time as I was working the dough. Lift the dough and put a little on the bottom, then a little more on top, work it in, repeat as necessary. This helped with the 'sticky' problem," says Icequeen.

"My dogs love this recipe. They smell them cooking and get excited. I usually double the recipe so I use a whole small can of pumpkin," according to Michael Behrens.

"Added some extra peanut butter, because my puppy loves it. Otherwise, these are SUPER easy, and a huge hit with my fur baby! Fantastic recipe," raves sidvicious1961.

Slow Cooker Chili is one of my all time most popular recipes, come fall and winter thousands of people make it every day! And for good reason, this is the best crockpot chili around! It's incredibly flavorful, it's packed with protein and perfectly hearty, plus it's a dinner everyone can agree on.

Love this recipe? Be sure to try my highly rated White Chicken Chili too!

The Best Crockpot Chili Recipe Ever!

Chili is actually one of my favorite foods and I make it all the time. It's a recipe everyone in the family loves and it's just good for the soul, perfect comfort food.

This slow cooker method is my favorite for chili. The flavor of the crockpot chili is rich and robust, the texture of the beef is so tender, and it turns out perfect every time!

It's just the way the ground beef in chili should be. Six hours of slow cooking creates the best chili ever!

And have I mentioned how easy this it is to make? It's a total breeze, so this will likely become a recipe you won't want to lose!

Watch How Easy it is!

What Ingredients go into Crockpot Chili?

Olive oil: use for sauteeing. Vegetable oil will work too if that's what you have on hand.

Ground beef: I recommend using 85% lean. It has a good ratio of fat for browning but not too much.

Yellow onion and garlic: aromatics that add lots of flavor. Use fresh garlic for best results.

Canned tomatoes with green chilies: if you can't find the size listed then you can use 2 (14.5 oz) cans of tomatoes then add a 1 (4 oz) can of diced green chilies.

Tomato sauce: this gives it a nice tomato flavored base and makes it stew-like.

Beef broth: this thins it out, if you don't want it soupy at all then you can omit it. If you want it more soup add a little more.

Spices (chili powder, cumin, paprika, sugar, coriander, S&P): the key to great chili. This recipe isn't skimpy with them.

Cocoa powder: this secret ingredient adds depth. Don't worry it's not going to taste like chocolate.

Dark and light kidney beans: if you don't have both shades just use two dark.

How do You Make Slow Cooker Chili?

This chili is so easy to make, the slow cooker does most of the work! Here's how you'll prepare it:

Saute aromatics, add to slow cooker: Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I have several and prefer this oneHERE).

Brown beef: Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.

Drain fat, add beef to slow cooker: Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.

Add liquids and seasonings: Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook low and slow: Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.

Stir in beans: Add in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes.

Serve warm with desired toppings.

Can I Make This Chili in an Instant Pot?

Here's the instant pot method for this Chili recipe HERE.

Can I Make This Chili on the Stovetop?

If you don't have a slow cooker this can also be made on the stove top. Brown the onion, brown the beef, add the other ingredients except the beans then simmer 2 - 3 hours over low heat. Then stir in beans.

What Should I Serve with Crockpot Chili?

Serve with a side of cornbread or serve in baked potatoes.

How to Freeze Chili

This chili freezes really well and reheats really well. I actually almost always have some in my freezer.

It's great for meal prep! I freeze small batches for my kids school lunch then pack it in a thermos for them. Or I'll sometimes make a double batch (using two slow cookers) then freeze a batch for dinner the next week.

What Can I Make with Leftover Chili?

When I have left over chili I love to serve it over Navajo Tacos. Just strain the liquid using a slotted spoon to serve.

Tips for the Best Crockpot Chili:

Don't skip sautéing onions before adding to slow cooker. If you do you'll end up with crunchy onions in the chili.

Use good quality ground beef. I like to use 85% lean Angus beef. Avoid the beef in the tubes is this is poor quality beef.

For even more flavor you can bloom the spices before adding them to the chili. To do this just saute them with the onions during the last 1 minute.

If you have time cook beef in two batches. Cooking 1 pound of beef at a time allows more room for it to brown rather than just steam. And of course browning adds incredible flavor.

Avoid cooking on high heat. Cooking this low and slow allows time for those flavors to develop and meld together, and it makes the beef more tender.

Wait to add the beans until the end. Canned beans are already cooked so if you add them in the beginning they end up way too mushy.

Possible Variations:

Add a diced red or green bell pepper along with the veggies when sautéing.

If you like spicy chili add a seeded jalapeno or two along with the veggies.

Serve with grated cheddar, sour cream, diced avocados, tortilla chips or saltine crackers.

Leave to cool completely before storing in the fridge or freezer. Always use airtight containers.

Heat olive oil in a large and deep non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add onion and saute 3 minutes, then add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer. Pour onions into a 6 or 7 quart slow cooker (I like this one HERE).

Return skillet to medium-high eat, add beef and cook stirring occasionally until beef has browned.

Drain most of fat from beef, leaving about 2 Tbsp in with beef (this is optional, I think it ads flavor but you can drain it all if you'd prefer). Pour browned beef into slow cooker.

Stir in diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, cocoa powder, sugar, coriander and season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.

Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 5 - 6 hours.

Stir in dark and light red kidney beans and allow to heat through, about 2 minutes. Serve warm with desired toppings.

Look for tomatoes with "mild" green chilies. You can also use 2 (14.5 oz) cans diced tomatoes and 1 (4 oz) can green chilies, drained.

If you want beef to brown better then sear in two batches. Only crumble and stir occasionally.

To add even more depth of flavor you can bloom the spices by sautéing them with the aromatics, add them during the last minute of sautéing the onions.

If you want to thin the chili at the end you can add in another 1/2 cup beef broth. If you like a really thick chili you can omit the beef broth altogether.

Other topping ideas include sour cream, chopped red or green onions, roasted peppers, or hot sauce.

If desired serve with baked potatoes, cornbread, biscuits, saltine crackers or tortilla chips.

Healthy Brownies and Baked Goods

by Chocolate Covered Katie

Black Bean Brownies - the ultra fudgy and decadent chocolate treat.
Edit: Thank you to everyone who has been asking...

After more than a year in the works, my NEW cookbook is finally available!

Based on your feedback, every single recipe in the book comes with complete nutrition facts including calories, total fat, carbohydrates, protein, and Weight Watchers points.

Above - Watch how to make black bean brownies. "Why would I want to eat a healthy brownie when I could be eating a deep, dark, rich, fudgy, and chocolatey brownie instead?"
I know what you're thinking.

But what if the deep, dark, rich, chocolate brownie is the healthy brownie?

No, not in a dream world. These black bean brownies are healthy brownies that DO NOT taste healthy, and I can say that with assurance, as they've been tested on three different groups of people used to "normal" desserts.

For the ultimate test, my roommate brought two pans of the vegan black bean brownies into work and set them down on the table without revealing the secret or saying they were healthy.

Easy Black Bean Brownies

I know some of you have been disappointed by mediocre bean-based brownies you've tried in the past, which is why it's taken me so long to come up with my own recipe:

I've tried some awful black bean brownie recipes in the past, too.

For example?

Don't think you'll get brownies by adding cocoa powder to my Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip and baking it.

Trust me. You'll get cardboard.

I wanted a recipe that would not let people down; a recipe that could stand up to a regular sugar-and-flour brownie in a competition.

And these really do!

Also, huge thanks to everyone who's been sharing these on Instagram!

Such a delicious recipe! Some extra tips/suggestions from when I make it...
* I sometimes swap italian sausage for the turkey.
* I often prep the sauce the day before, or use leftover spaghetti sauce, or use a premade jar (because, let's be honest, not all weeks have enough hours in them for homemade sauce)
* If you have folks who don't like chunks of ricotta (like me), it helps to blend the ricotta with the sauce. Still get the creamy-cheesiness of the ricotta without the big chunks.

Today we are sharing with you a favorite dinner - this Paleo, Whole30 + Keto easy curry beef bowls recipe! It's an easy favorite for us because it's SO fast and easy to make and extra delicious, too! The ease and speed make it a great weeknight dinner or it's also a wonderful meal prep recipe.
Ready In 20 Minutes

We often strive for 30 minute meals and were real pleased when this one came in WAY under! You'll have this easy curry beef recipe on the table in just 20 minutes! Seriously, it might be one of the easiest recipes EVER! Just make sure your white or cauli rice is ready to go so you're just assembling your bowls when the beef is done.

Cauliflower Rice, Rice Or Quinoa

If you are making this easy curry beef bowls recipe as a Whole30 meal, make sure you use cauliflower rice rather than rice or quinoa. But...if you can tolerate rice or quinoa, go for it! This is a personal decision for everyone, and it definitely depends on what your goals are. Yes, rice is a grain and yes plain white rice doesn't really have much in the way of nutritional content. All of that said...if you're a woman and if you're like me you might need a little bit of grains in your life to keep things moving - digestion wise. I love white rice from time to time, but it does clog things up if I overdo it. So, quinoa has become a good option for me. Sorry if that is TMI. Ok, I'm not sorry - that's just real life!

More About Quinoa

Quinoa can be a great option because it has protein, is gluten-free and also has more vitamins and minerals, potentially making it a better option than plain white rice. It's also technically a seed, rather than a grain. The outer coating of quinoa, however, gives Paleo enthusiasts pause because it can potentially lead to digestive issues. Ok, and if you're trying to eat low carb, you'll also think eating quinoa is ill-advised. If you're still with me though...take the time to soak your quinoa for 30 minutes prior to cooking and then thoroughly rinse it. This is an easy thing to do when you meal prep. Soak and then cook quinoa and store it in the fridge to have on hand during the week. It's easy to add to salads, this easy curry beef recipe and when you're throwing together leftovers to make lunch or dinner. Read this post for more on quinoa and its health benefits.

Finding My Perfect Diet

I've played with quinoa (and other grains) because not only does my digestion seem to need some grains/carbs, but the health of my adrenals seems to require a little, too. I've worked with a naturopath locally and definitely recommend it for anyone trying to dive deeper into their health issues and achieve wellness. While eating a strict Paleo diet has served me well and was a great launching pad for changing my health story, I'm at a point where I'm willing to play around a little and reintroduce things to figure out what MY PERSONAL perfect diet is. It will always be real food and mainly Paleo - but I'm open to listening to my body and giving it what it needs to feel like my most vibrant self, especially while I'm pregnant and doing my best to nurture my body and the tiny human growing inside.

The Tali Sauce is delicious! Try it! - Laura K.

The perfect vegetarian meal is the whole bowl tali sauce recipe which also happens to be naturally gluten free. This bowl of deliciousness is also great for healthy meal planning and make ahead meal prep.

Just like with the best pumpkin loaf - the whole bowl with tali sauce was needing a little revamping in the picture department. Years ago when I got my first "real" camera for the blog, this was one of the first recipes I reshot - so this is technically a re-re shoot. Here is the picture from 2014, and I still love it, but it doesn't show all the components that go in the dish, which I'll share with you.

I don't mind redoing and rephotographing this recipe though, because the whole bowl is SO GOOD, I could make it and make it and make it some more.

You know how there are certain dishes that just change your life? Well folks, this is one of them! I first came across The Whole Bowl when my husband (the wonderful hand model in our household) and I visited Portland a few years ago. We had The Whole Bowl at a food truck square and fell in love with it. The second we got back I set out to recreating the dish so we could enjoy it at home.

Since trying it for the first time, I have gone back to Portland and had the whole bowl again and again just to make sure my recipe was right, and I have to tell you, it tastes just like the dish from the food truck! Over the years, I've gotten some of the sweetest comments:

The bowl is said to be 'like eating a hug' and I can definitely see why-it's warming, delicious, and has such a great flavor combination that is tied together by the Tali Sauce.

This is my take on the Tali sauce that I've refined and that has turned out better than expected and yummy every time (even the time I accidentally spilled the cayenne in and it was super spicy and I couldn't feel my mouth...yeah even then it was good!)

It's garlicy, it's lemony, it has a unique combination of spices, and contains a secret ingredient - which is using nutritional yeast (you can find it at health food stores in the bulk spices aisle or in the baking aisle, or buy it on amazon here <- affiliate link, if you purchase it here I get a few pennies, yay!

So yummy!

Besides making the sauce (which only takes a few minutes) the other ingredients one just spoons on, it's such an easy vegetarian dinner to make

TRY this amazingly delicious and unique dish, it'll become a favorite!

This vegetarian meal is also great for making ahead/meal prepping. You put the rice and beans with tali sauce in one container (which can be microwaved) and then the toppings in another container. Reheating takes one minute. So easy, so delicious!

After making this sauce numerous times, I have found that it is best when made in a food processor - like this one (<-is the one I use), and you can buy the nutritional yeast online. Hope you enjoy!

Update: I went back to Portland and had the Whole Bowl again just to compare my version and the 'real' thing, and I have to tell you - it was spot on, definitely try this recipe, it's suuuuper good:
