Gluten-Free, Vegan Veggie Alfredo Pasta

April 25, 2018

Well those garlic knots we made recently + the rainy day really made us crave an Italian night in so that’s just what we did.

Gluten-Free, Vegan Canadian Poutine

February 25, 2018

To me, poutine (pronounced poo-teen) is the purest Canadian comfort food. Rich, warm brown gravy coating each freshly made, crispy fry, then just for good measure topped with chunks of melty, gooey cheese. It’s the ultimate bowl of savory, messy goodness!

Gluten-Free, Vegan Nanaimo Bars

February 23, 2018

If you’re from British Columbia or the American Northwest, chances are you know and love these no-bake bars!

Gluten-Free, Vegan Alfredo Sauce

February 16, 2018

For a date night dinner is there any reasons to look further than pasta? Italian food is super romantic, pairs well with wine, is filling, generally not too much work. The best ROI if you will.

Gluten-Free, Vegan Skillet S'mores

February 11, 2018

I CAN NOT believe I haven’t shared anything s’more-related with y’all yet...The combination of creamy, melted chocolate and gooey, toasted marshmallow sandwiched between sweet, crunchy crackers. It’s a pairing that needs to be celebrated this month of love.

Gluten-Free, Vegan French Toast

January 28, 2018

Breakfast is by far my favorite meal and my favorite genre of food. There’s something so comforting about it. Plus it’s delicious any time of day.

Gluten-Free, Vegan Mango Smoothie

January 25, 2018

Seriously guys!! This smoothie is the bee’s knees and have selfishly been keeping it to myself, but alas—no more!

Gluten-Free, Vegan Cashew Cream

January 18, 2018

As we start adding more vegan eats to the site, we thought we would start with a great vegan base—cashew cream! It’s seriously a life-changing as it can be used countless ways.

Gluten-Free, Vegan Mushroom Stroganoff

January 16, 2018

I love traveling and I love exploring different cities and experiencing all they have to offer from culture to museums and museums to food, but there I love getting home from a trip and enjoying a home-cooked meal.

Gluten-Free, Vegan Pretzel Kiss Treats

February 13, 2017

My original post, PRETZEL KISSES, promised melty chocolate, crunchy pretzels and an extra snap for the candy toppers…Mmmm!! Fortunately even if you are gluten-free or vegan you can still enjoy these tasty, bitesize treats. Hooray!

Hi, I'm Shalan! Studioist.co is my journal devoted to adventures, creativity, recipes, and my husband LeBraun and I's semi-nomadic lifestyle. I spend most of my days wondering how to combine my two loves, traveling and illustrations. The rest of my time I spend trying to create awesome gluten-free, dairy-free recipes. I want this to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as well as a fun place to spend your time. And yes, sometimes it gets messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Here’s what shakin’, bacon!

Summer Treats!

Featured

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Strawberry Cream Pie

This no-bake treat is super easy—a creamy combo of sweet vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries (or fruit of choice) with the scattered crunch. Essentially all the best textures in a chilled layered dessert. It’s definitely one to bring to a backyard party or family get together. It’s not so much a “pie” as a layered dessert, but that’s what we have been calling it so there you go

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Pretzel Salad

This Southern summer classic has a little bit of something for everyone. It’s sweet, crunchy, creamy, bright…basically all the flavors of summer.

Gluten-Free Watermelon, Tomato + Feta Salad

The perfect summer day calls for a perfect summer dish and for me no other fruit epitomizes summer more than watermelon.

Gluten-Free, Vegan Peach Crisp

One of the best things about summer is the fresh produce, like these fabulous Georgia Peaches! As soon as I get those fuzzy, ripe peaches in my hands, my mind whirls with all their potential—crumbles, pies, galettes, tarts, popsicles, scones, ice cream, salad…the list goes on and on!

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Rum Cake

We’ve been on an island-high since returning from the Bahamas and we’re craving some of the good stuff. That’s right, some of that sweet nectar—Caribbean rum!

Travel Guide | Nashville Wall Guide Pt. 1 - Where to get that IG-Worthy Mural Shot

Locals and those just in Nashville for the weekend capture their experience with photos in front of one (if not several) of the city’s colorful walls and murals. They’re the perfect insta-opportunity!

Instead of driving around hoping you’ll find what you’re looking for, I’ve rounded up some of our favorite Instagram-worthy walls throughout downtown Nashville and the surrounding neighborhoods.

Gluten-Free, Vegan S’more Cookies

So to recap, these cookies…well—They’ve got chocolate chips. They’ve got marshmallows. They’re gluten-free. They’re vegan. ‘Nuff said.

Travel Guide | Maui, Hawaii

Besides the obvious words like tropical and beautiful that come to mind when describing Maui, another word comes to mind—unexpected. Maui has unexpected gems around every corner.

Gluten-Free, Keto Lemony Lemon Bars

And with Easter right around the corner I knew I wanted to make something bright, fresh, and bursting with the goodness of Spring (+ Keto-approved). Fresh, tangy lemons create a smooth, dreamy filling, held up by a sweet, almond flour crust. Then lightly dusted with a confectionary sugar substitute for an easy layered dessert.
