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
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
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
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
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, Keto Lemony Lemon Bars
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.
