I love eggs benedict. Actually, I think I may just really love the hollandaise sauce. But the combination of a poached egg, fresh spinach, and salty ham blanked in the silky sauce with a hint of lemon just makes my mouth water. Because of my numerous failures making a hollandaise over the double boiler, this dish was solely… Read more »

Guacamole
Being from California, avocados are prevalent and pretty much available all year round. They’re rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients, and are full of heart-healthy fats. We slice them on salads and sandwiches, and my husband even spreads them on toast in the morning with a little salt and pepper. One of my favorite uses… Read more »
Chili Lime Chicken Burgers
When I first started the SCD a few years ago, I lived on these chili lime chicken burgers. I actually used to just eat the patty with some fresh ketchup and mustard. My husband likes his burgers to be a little more substantial, so for dinner the other night, I made them like a real… Read more »
Gluten Free Crusty Rolls
I initially made these Gluten Free Crusty rolls as a hamburger bun for a Chili Lime Chicken Burger, but have now used them for a variety of sandwich recipes. They are a very versatile roll and taste great toasted with burgers, deli sandwiches, and even as the base to a great Eggs Benedict. They’re easy… Read more »
Easy Hollandaise Sauce with Coconut Oil
I tore a page out of a cooking magazine about 2 years ago on how to make a 5 minute blender hollandaise sauce. Just the thought of ditching the whisk, and all of the countless times I ended up with curdled butter and scrambled eggs, was enough incentive to try it. Incentive as it was… Read more »
Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie
I experimented with this Black Bottom Banana Cream Pie a few times and decided that I would try it out on our friends for the Super Bowl a few weeks ago. It’s always interesting to hear people’s reactions when they are not on special diets and aren’t used to the taste of almond flour or… Read more »
Spinach Mango Salad with Prawns
This recipe was inspired by my favorite Mexican restaurant, Maria Maria. While I used to enjoy the fish tacos and chips and salsa there with my husband, I had to find something on the menu that was grain-free. I order it each and every time we go there, and still haven’t gotten tired of it…. Read more »
Paleo Chocolate Granola with Dried Berries
A few months ago, after a long-travel day to my sister’s, I was thumbing through the pantry for a snack when I came across a box of granola from Whole Foods called Love Crunch. It was chocolate and had little dark chocolate chunks and dried berries in it. I think I visited that cupboard ten… Read more »
Honey Graham Cracker Pie Crust
You know those people that eat all of the pie inners and leave an empty pie crust in the fridge? That was me. I was never a lover of pie crust. I didn’t like apple pies because they usually had a double dose of crust on top, and I was never one to clean my… Read more »

This vegan chocolate pudding pie is not only vegan, grain-free, and free of refined sugars. What could be better?

I’m always looking for grain-free snack ideas, and especially like it when I can come up with something that mimics the old snacks I used to eat. These Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bars remind me a lot of cliff bars, which used to be a staple breakfast item for me in college! If I… Read more »
Thai Crunch Salad
Thai Crunch Salad is probably my favorite salad out of any that I’ve ever made. It is based off of this recipe that I saw on Pinterest. It’s loaded with crisp vegetables and has sweet mango in it to counter the salt and slight spice of the dressing. You can double the dressing recipe and… Read more »
Apple, Pear, Blueberry Crisp
I’m a true chocolate dessert lover, but crisps and cobblers come in close second. Especially when they’re hot and served with vanilla ice cream on top like this Apple, Pear, Blueberry Crisp. I used my grain-free granola as the crisp topping and it tasted so much better than any almond flour version I’ve tried since… Read more »
French Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream (Dairy-Free)
