There’s something about the aroma of blueberries baking in the oven with a sweet dough surrounding them. You can just smell the juices popping out of the skins and sweetening with the heat. I make a big batch of these muffins and keep them in the freezer for quick breakfasts on the run.

The banana bread recipe in my first cookbook, Against All Grain, is a major fan favorite, but I constantly get requests for a nut-free version. For those of you who have tree-nut allergies, this one’s for you! My family loves the flavor of this loaf so much that I typically don’t add anything to the mix, but some dark chocolate chips or walnuts would be delicious additions.

In my past life, foods like French fries were simply a vehicle for consuming ketchup. When I first swore off refined sugars and processed food, I decided ketchup was just better off forgotten because every recipe I tried for homemade never compared to the store-bought. I have finally come up with one that I proudly keep bottled in my refrigerator and enjoy smeared on all of my old favorites.

I can still recall the delicious aromas filling the house when my mom baked a loaf of banana bread. The same heavenly scents now waft out of my kitchen, but from grain-free ingredients. Be sure to use very ripe bananas with a lot of brown spots for the most sweetness, as the recipe calls for only a minimal amount of honey.

Here is an apple pie just like you remember it from Thanksgivings past, but without the grains and refined sugars. The combination of apple varieties creates a wonderful firm and soft texture with both sweet and tart notes.

I ate these parfaits constantly right after our daughter Kezia was born. I would wake up to two growing boys looking for a breakfast of their own, plus a baby eager to nurse, and having these healthful puddings ready to go in the fridge made it easy to nourish myself while I tended to the kids. If you’re hurrying out the door for school drop-off or running late for the office, these ready-made breakfasts will save the day. Collagen peptides add extra protein and are also soothing to the gut, and açai has incredible antioxidant properties, so this is not your average chia pudding.

I will never forget going to the UK with my parents and husband, Ryan, years ago. In southern England, my mom was relentless in seeking out the cutest tearooms and indulging in the scones, clotted cream, and lemon curd in every establishment. I must have eaten dozens of scones in just a few days! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t utterly enjoy those dainty little biscuits, which is why I wanted to recreate a grain-free version we could savor together back home. These traditionally round pastries are mildly sweet and don’t make you feel guilty the way the ginormous frosted ones that often beckon from coffee shop counters in the States do.

Most homemade sweet potato fries go limp after baking or frying and don’t crunch the way they do in restaurants. Soaking the potatoes before baking is the key to a perfectly crisp fry: it helps remove much of the starch, which is what makes them get soggy as they cook. This foolproof recipe produces crispy fries at home every time!

Ice-cold ginger ale has always been one of my favorite beverages for a summertime barbecue, but it is usually made with refined sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. The ginger flavor in commercial brands is also quite mild, and I really like a ginger-packed drink. So I started making ginger ale at home. Homemade soda is easier to make than you probably think, and you can store the syrup without the carbonated water for up to a week.

Beets and berries combine to produce a vibrant magenta hue, creating a festive and nutritious start to your little ones’ day of love. We are always rushed in the morning to get our oldest son, Asher, off to school, so I frequently send him with a smoothie to drink in the car. This is one of his favorites.

These gingersnaps have a fabulous spicy ginger taste and a good crisp texture. Instead of using the traditional molasses, as it can be difficult for some people to digest, I caramelize honey and low-glycemic coconut sugar to give these cookies that deep molasses flavor.

My mom and grandma used to make fudge every year at Christmastime to give away as gifts or take to all of the holiday cookie exchanges. As I started to think about how to re-create that memory and a new recipe, I asked my mom if she had a copy of the recipe my grandma used. Turns out it was the one from the back of the marshmallow fluff jar! Instead of going through the trouble of making homemade marshmallows, then turning them into fudge, I came up with a simple recipe of just eight ingredients. Its flavor and texture are similar to the fudge I remembered. There’s no candy thermometer required, and it only uses one pot.

Dairy-free yogurts are readily available at most grocery stores, but they often contain unwelcome additives. Using a dehydrator or yogurt machine is a simple way to make coconut milk yogurt at home with ease and totally control what goes into it. We love ours with fresh berries and granola (page 58). You can use this as a base for anything that calls for yogurt, whether frozen yogurt or savory dips.
