I'm Nicki Sizemore, a food writer, recipe developer, video host and educator. My mission is to help busy families get fresh, wholesome and downright delicious food on the table any night of the week. All of my recipes are naturally gluten-free.
I'm the author of Fresh Flavors for the Slow Cooker: Reinvent the Slow Cooked Meal (Storey Publishing, 2019), Build-a-Bowl: 77 Satisfying & Nutritious Combos: Whole Grain + Vegetable + Protein + Sauce = Meal (Storey Publishing, September 2018); and The Food Processor Family Cookbook (Sonoma Press, 2016). I'm also a contributor to Parents and Fine Cooking and am a video host and instructor for NBC Universal's streaming platform Bluprint. In addition, I appear regularly on the PBS series, Moveable Feast. My work has been featured in publications such as The Washington Post, Eating Well, AllRecipes Magazine, Parade and Taste of Home.
While I'm a trained chef and graduate of the French Culinary Institute (now called the International Culinary Center), I also have two young daughters and know first-hand the challenges of feeding our families (and picky kids)! I hope to help help alleviate some of that pressure, offering vibrant, flavor-packed and adaptable recipes that will appeal to all eaters at the table. After discovering that I had to cut gluten out of my diet after my first daughter was born due to a severe allergy, I also understand how tricky it can be to accommodate food restrictions. All of my recipes are naturally gluten-free and many can be adapted to satisfy other allergies or diets.
I love working with brands and companies that align with my mission. Whether through sponsored blog posts, social media campaigns, giveaways and/or videos, it's a pleasure to showcase brands and products that I use and trust.

[New] Mango Chutney Marinated Kebabs ✨These shrimp or chicken kebabs have a robust savory-sweet flavor from mango chutney, with bright kick from garlic and ginger. The streamlined recipe is a cinch to make, and the kebabs can be served on their own or over a killer miso-maple chopped salad.
Gluten-Free Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping ✨ This rich and buttery, naturally sweetened coffee cake features a spiced streusel topping and filling. A drizzle of glaze lends a sweet sparkle. (It’s also #glutenfree and can be made #dairyfree.)

[New] Easy Cream Puffs & Profiteroles (#glutenfree)!! https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/easy-cream-puffs-and-profiteroles These cream puffs and profiteroles have completely stolen my heart. The streamlined recipe ditches piping bags and perfectionism (and is also gluten-free, but nobody will know). The puffs are filled with a creamy almond custard or vanilla ice cream, and are topped with a rich chocolate ganache. The free recipe is in today's newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/easy-cream-puffs-and-profiteroles
Today’s podcast episode is such a fun one, all about the power of rituals in the kitchen (and out). I speak with Dr. Michael Norton, a leading behavior scientist and author of the new book, The Ritual Effect: From Habit to Ritual, Harness the Surprising Power of Everyday Actions. Dr. Norton describes what a ritual is, and how it differs from a habit or tradition. We explore how rituals have the power to connect us to ourselves, to each other, to our past, as well as to the foods we eat. Dr. Norton explains why rituals can imbue our lives with more meaning, and how they can also be a safe outlet for expressing emotions. #ritual #rituals #cooking #podcast #mindfulness #wellness #applepodcasts #spotifypodcasts

It isn’t about the action itself, but about the intention behind it. ↓ There are a million ways to bring ritual into the kitchen, and I hope this episode inspires you to look at the rituals you already have in your own life and possibly even to create some new ones.

So grateful to spend spring break in Arizona with my parents. ❤️ Scottsdale, Sedona, such good meals, my mom’s blueberry pie, hiking, hot rock therapy (as in, lying on hot rocks), swimming (and night swimming in our clothes - Mimi made me do it!), movies, and so many more memories. ❤️
This is the lightest, fluffiest, dreamiest broccoli cheddar quiche, and you’d never know it’s #glutenfree! It can be completely made ahead (perfect for Easter brunch).
[New!] Gluten Free Lemon Almond Poppy Seed Muffins ✨These wholesome muffins have a bright lemon flavor with depth from almond extract and crunch from poppy seeds. Olive oil and almond flour ensure a supremely moist texture, while maple syrup lends a whisper of sweetness.

My favorite cake in the world is carrot cake, and this wholesome version is at the top of the list (you can either make an 8-inch cake or 12 cupcakes). ✨ The batter is easy to make (you don’t even need to shred carrots!), and the cake is naturally #glutenfree and #grainfree. A two-ingredient maple cream cheese frosting takes it over the top. 🥕🧁🐰 ↓ Get the recipe at the direct link in my profile (@nickisizemore) or hop over here: https://fromscratchfast.com/healthy-gluten-free-carrot-cake-recipe/ #glutenfreerecipes #carrotcake #healthyrecipes #easyrecipes #easter #myvitamix #vitamix #dessert
