Although most salads are naturally gluten-free and you can all find hoards of recipes elsewhere, I figured I’d share a more realistic insight into what our family eats on a normal basis. I’m a huge salad fan, and so is my husband as long it’s hearty and full of goodies. This Moroccan Chicken Salad is… Read more »

CLOSED: Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway
I use coconut oil as a substitute for butter in my recipes about 90% of the time. In the past I just grabbed whatever jar I saw first at Whole Foods (and even the new Organic one at Trader Joe’s – GASP!) because I didn’t think there would be much of a difference. Tropical Traditions… Read more »
Gluten Free Pancakes
For some reason every time I make gluten free pancakes I end up singing that Jack Johnson song in my head! Sleeping in isn’t an option with an 18 month old, even on the weekend, but making banana pancakes is! I’m visiting Denver this week and watching my nephew and son and boy have they… Read more »
Creamy Pesto “Pasta” with Spring Vegetables
In an effort to limit my dairy intake, (my ND actually wants me to stay away from it completely but I can’t completely give up cheese!), I’ve been playing around with things like cashew cream. I saw this amazing recipe from Bon Apetit for a creamy fettuccine pasta with fresh vegetables and wanted to see… Read more »
Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chip Streusel Topping
These healthy banana muffins are a good alternative to the store bought variety. They are topped with chocolate chip streusel and keep my son happy! Every once in a while I’ll buy my son a special treat from a certain coffee chain when we’re out shopping. It’s usually to keep him content in his stroller… Read more »
Dairy-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup (SCD, Paleo, Vegan Option)
This Dairy-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup was born out of the necessity to make comfort foods that I grew up eating. Dishes like Green Bean Casserole for Thanksgiving or my mom’s Shepherd’s Pie were just a few of my favorites. Those dishes use canned condensed mushroom soup which is filled with MSG, cornstarch, soy and… Read more »
Breakfast Cookies (Paleo, SCD)
As kids we were always told that cookies were not an acceptable meal for breakfast. I’d like to know who made up that rule, and then tell them that I’m breaking it. I let my 18 month old eat these cookies for breakfast. I figure, if they have fruit in them, then aren’t they kind… Read more »
St. Patrick’s Day Recipe Roundup
I grew up in a home where holidays were heavily celebrated. My mom had bins upon bins of decorations for each of the occasions and always made them feel special. I remember waking up in the morning on Valentine’s day to the breakfast table being covered with heart confetti and a chocolate heart the size… Read more »
Spinach, Butternut Squash and Pesto Pizza on Cauliflower Crust
I love anything with pesto on it. Add some gruyere and I’m smitten. This is another version of my Cauliflower Crust Pizza, but this one is vegetarian. It’s piled high with caramelized onions, sautéed spinach, butternut squash and gruyere cheese. I used a pesto sauce as the base instead of a tomato sauce since it… Read more »
Tostadas with Cranberry Black Beans and Avocado Crema
This has been a recipe very long in the making. I had about 10 failed attempts at the tostada shell, as you may have seen from the photo I posted on Facebook about a month ago. Making a tostada without corn, wheat, or rice is no easy feat! First, I tried simply frying my grain-free… Read more »
Pesto Sauce
Use this sauce on pizzas, spaghetti squash, or drizzled over fish!
Meat Lovers Pizza with Cauliflower Crust
NOW, for the recipe that you all voted for on Facebook last week – Meat Lovers Pizza with Cauliflower Crust! I kept seeing the infamous cauliflower crust pizza popping up on Pinterest and was very intrigued but slightly skeptical. I couldn’t imagine how a pizza made of cauliflower could be sturdy enough to hold all… Read more »

Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Meringue Cookies
Do you remember Milano cookies? I think that’s what these taste like. They’re both crunchy and airy at the same time, but also seem to melt in your mouth. The dark chocolate layer on the bottom reminds me of the fudge middle layer of the milano cookies. I love meringue cookies because you feel like… Read more »
Meringue Madness – Meringue Cookies 3 Ways
I made this banana cream pie twice in one week, and with 5 egg yolks in each, I was left with a huge container of whites just waiting to be used. So, as the saying goes: When life gives you egg whites…make meringue cookies? It has been meringue madness in my kitchen. I had so many… Read more »
