Copycat Olive Garden Salad Dressing

April 9, 2021 By Stephanie Leave a Comment

This copycat olive garden salad dressing is the closest to the original that I’ve ever had! It’s gluten-free, plus 21 Day Fix and Weight Watchers friendly!

Hey guys! I hope all of you who celebrate it had a great Easter! Even though as I’m writing this it’s still mostly been in the 40’s here, Easter has me feeling all the spring vibes – hence, the salad cravings have been hitting me hardcore as of late.

That, along with still only doing outdoor dining has me really missing some Olive Garden Salad! And, man I can’t wait for you guys to try this one – it’s sooooo close to the original that my husband couldn’t tell the difference, and just a damn good Italian dressing!

Oh, and I also have a fun Olive Garden breadstick hack for you, because what is an Olive Garden salad if you can’t pile some on top of a warm, garlicky breadstick??

Ok, let’s do some Q&A and then I’ll show you how to make it!

The BEST Dairy-Free Vanilla Pudding Recipe

February 27, 2021 By Stephanie 4 Comments

This easy Dairy-Free Vanilla Pudding recipe is crazy-delicious and takes just minutes to make using ingredients you probably have on hand! It’s also gluten-free, 21 Day Fix approved and Weight Watchers friendly!

Hey guys! I’m super pumped to share this dairy-free vanilla pudding with you because I just know you’re going to love it!

When I first shared my pumpkin pudding recipe, it was such a hit with you guys that I knew I had to work on some more puddings – plus they’re just so fun and easy to make! Not to mention that if you’re like me, you probably always have the ingredients on hand, so it really doesn’t get any better than that.

This Dairy-Free Vanilla Pudding is equally as delicious as the pumpkin pudding and just endlessly versatile. It’s full of incredible vanilla flavor, creamy-delicious with the perfect amount of sweetness – are you craving this as hard as I am yet??
