I have always been a foodie at heart. That said, I didn't always eat healthy. In the summer of 2008, I was diagnosed with a debilitating autoimmune condition: ankylosing spondylitis. This is the story of how I took control of my diet and got inspired to get myself back to healthy. Really healthy. I started eating whole foods- real, nourishing foods. Nutrition-dense foods that would do something for me, & not work against my body. Within a few months, I was able to drive my illness into remission. I want to share with you that it's fully possible (& effortless) to eat gluten, dairy, & refined sugar free while continuing to enjoy the food and flavors you love. Thank you for visiting! -Aleyda. xx

Breakfast

Grain-Free Banana Pancakes with Warm Strawberry Compote

May 5, 2015May 5, 2015 thedishonhealthyLeave a comment

When Saturday morning rolls around, everyone in our house (big or small) has great expectations surrounding breakfast. Saturday breakfast is not taken lightly, and it’s usually centered around a delicious stack of homemade pancakes. My children and husband don’t abide by my gluten-free lifestyle. I made that choice for our children, as they’re much too small at this point to decide for themselves.…… Continue reading Grain-Free Banana Pancakes with Warm Strawberry Compote

Maple & Pecan Homemade Granola

I have been in love with granola for a really, really long time. That said, I have also been disenchanted. It’s one of the first “health foods” that I actually felt had duped me. All this time, my lifelong friend was hiding a sugary secret. She was not helping my waistline, but rather perpetuating my sugary cravings. I…… Continue reading Maple & Pecan Homemade Granola

Purple Rain: Blackberries, Vanilla, & Oats Smoothie

May 1, 2015May 2, 2015 thedishonhealthyLeave a comment

When you can’t find the time to eat oatmeal for breakfast… it’s time to drink it up! A bowl of warm oats has always been both; a health and a comfort food for me. What was standing between me and my porridge was quite simply, time. That precious and elusive little thing called “time”. We all…… Continue reading Purple Rain: Blackberries, Vanilla, & Oats Smoothie

A Very Tropical Mango, Banana & Apple Smoothie

April 29, 2015May 1, 2015 thedishonhealthyLeave a comment

Mango, as you may have figured out, is also a recurring theme on my blog. It is and will always be one of the flavors that brings me right back to my childhood. I love both; the fruit and the memories it evokes. Memories of careless, sunny days in the yard of the house where I grew up. Whenever I…… Continue reading A Very Tropical Mango, Banana & Apple Smoothie

Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Galore

April 27, 2015April 28, 2015 thedishonhealthy2 Comments

I once used to live for Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. True story. During my undergrad years, I would even open one for “breakfast” when in a rush on my way to work at the university library. But as any cheap chocolate connoisseur would attest; they’re usually sold in packages of 3, and I would usually always arrive…… Continue reading Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Galore

Rainbow Smoothie Bowl

April 25, 2015June 23, 2016 thedishonhealthy2 Comments

I captioned it: “I ate a rainbow for breakfast”- and by the looks of it, I certainly wasn’t kidding. It looks beautiful and somewhat time-consuming, but the sole intent of this post is to show you how incredibly easy this was to prepare. When making a smoothie bowl, I like to make the smoothie (which I’ll refer…… Continue reading Rainbow Smoothie Bowl

Pear, Vanilla, Banana & Oats Smoothie

“Green Smoothies Galore” will never end. Fact. But when green smoothies taste amazing beyond expectations, and I make them refined sugar, dairy and gluten free- why would you ever want to see the last of them? Every day is a new beginning when it comes to a smoothie. I absolutely love getting dirty in the kitchen and testing new…… Continue reading Pear, Vanilla, Banana & Oats Smoothie

Heavenly Strawberry & Blueberry Crumble

April 21, 2015November 25, 2015 thedishonhealthy2 Comments

When the weather calls for rain or cold, I joke that my sweet tooth activates (almost) immediately. I am of the belief that you can never quite “lose” a sweet tooth. You can only tame it. The only thing that’s changed since I began this health journey is what I satisfy those sweet cravings with. And at…… Continue reading Heavenly Strawberry & Blueberry Crumble

Homemade Gluten Free Pizza Crust

April 21, 2015March 30, 2016 thedishonhealthyLeave a comment

Pizza nights happen very often at our house. Truth be told, pizza has and will forever be one of my utmost weaknesses. I grew up buying pizza in school every Friday for lunch and looked forward to it all week. My dad would take us out for pizza every single Sunday for as long as I can remember. That…… Continue reading Homemade Gluten Free Pizza Crust
