If you’re grain or gluten-free, you will no longer miss pizza once you make this gluten free meat lovers pizza and its crust. I choose to use three different flours for this crust to give it the complexity that regular crusts have, and to avoid the sweet flavor that most almond or coconut crusts have…. Read more »

My best friend from high school is getting married today! My husband and I were the first to get married out of our friends (5 year anniversary in a few weeks!) so we’ve been waiting patiently for all of them to catch up and join us in this crazy married life. And then onto the… Read more »

  There’s plenty of silly names for zucchini noodles: zoodles, zusketti, zuttuccine. Strangely, we call zucchini “zukes” (and and cucumbers “cukes”) around this house. Because the original is just too long to say right? Call them what you wish, but Zucchini noodles are kind of like the new spaghetti squash. Or at least they are during… Read more »

This easy vegetable curry (toddler approved) only takes 15 minutes to prepare and is packed full of anti-inflammatory spices! It’s also night-shade free and the first thing I’ll be making when we start our 30-day cleanse! When my son first started eating solid food, he would eat everything we put him in front of him….

  Tomato season is upon us! We took our weekly visit to our small local Farmer’s market and the aisles looked like a sea of red, speckled with yellows and oranges from the gorgeous heirlooms that are currently in their prime. Heirloom tomato season, in particular, is my favorite time of the year. The unusual… Read more »

Last year around this time, I was severely ill and experiencing one of my worst Ulcerative Colitis flares to date. My body was rejecting any and all food and I had lost a drastic amount of weight. We flew down to Southern California to see a highly recommended naturopath. As a girl with a passion… Read more »

When I came up with this recipe, I couldn’t decide if I should do all meat, vegetarian or a seafood paella; so I compromised and made what I am calling Mixed Seafood Paella. I am notorious for being indecisive. Now you know why I frequently post “this or that” questions for you to all decide… Read more »

When my husband and I are enjoying Indian cuisine, fresh naan is like a buttery vehicle created for the sole purpose of carrying the spicy curries from the plate to our mouths. It does an exceptional job at ensuring that no sauce is left behind, and tastes amazing while doing so. I have yet to… Read more »

We’ve all been there: You’re stranded in an airport or on an endless freeway in the middle of nowhere. Your stomach starts to growl. You look to the left and right and you see Hamburgers, Pizza, or sugar-loaded ‘Smoothie’ stands. So you head to a line and scrutinize the menu; formulating in your head the… Read more »

Have you ever had the pleasure of tasting a gyro? It’s a pita sandwich stuffed with tender meat that melts in your mouth after being slow roasted on a spit then shaved thin.  Many cultures serve similar sandwiches, but the gyro I’m familiar with hails from Greece. It is topped with a cool cucumber yogurt sauce… Read more »

I’m pretty excited to be offering a recipe for nut-free ‘Peanut’ Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. It was recently brought to my attention on Facebook just how many of you are actually nut-free as well. I am forced to rely heavily on nuts as I am not only grain-free, but also mostly starch-free as well. I… Read more »

I was making chocolate pudding the other day and decided that it would make the perfect fudgsicle. I had just impulsively bought some cheap popsicle molds from Ikea (I’m buying these BPA free ones for future uses), so I gave it a try. These dark chocolate fudge pops turned out utterly decadent. They’re smooth and velvety,… Read more »
