Gluten-Free, Vegan Avocado Pesto

May 17, 2019

Well with that fresh basil calling us from our backyard…pesto it was! I love the freshness of the basil and the sharpness of the garlic. To me pesto isn’t one of those heavier pastas. It’s bright and light, yet filling.

With LeBraun loving creamier pastas we decided to mix it up by adding avocados to the traditional pesto recipe and the result was an indulgent (without being too rich), creamy, fresh dinner! Mmm!

Gluten-Free, Vegan Pasta Alfredo with Meat-less Balls

January 5, 2019

Pasta is an ultimate comfort food. It always has been and will be. It’s there when you need it (or simply forgot to go to the store that week…) I love this one because it combines a couple of my favorite vegan recipes into one. Plus it’s pasta…so yeah!

Gluten-Free, Vegan Veggie Alfredo Pasta

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 Mushroom Stroganoff

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, Dairy-Free Haluski (Cabbage + Pasta)

July 20, 2017

Russia has exceeded all my expectations by far! The American media does not represent the true Russia—the people are welcoming and hospitable, the landscape is vast and beautiful, the cities are easy to navigate, the architecture is incredible, and the food is goooooood!!

Gluten-Free Pesto

May 22, 2017

 Honestly the smell of fresh basils transports me back to the winding, cobblestone streets of Italia. I can picture it now, I’m sitting outside a small, family-owned trattoria basking in the ambience of a gorgeous evening with a glass of wine in one hand and a fork in the other, salivating over another amazing meal placed in front of me. If you have never been to Italy, seriously stop reading my jibber jabber and get on a plane to go! It will change your life.

Gluten-Free Creamy Tomato Vodka Sauce (Vegan Optional)

February 25, 2017

Who serves up romance for dinner better than the Italians? No one—that’s what makes it the perfect date night theme. Pasta sauce from the can is fine if you’re in a pinch, but if you’re looking for something easy yet impressive this is the recipe for you!

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!
