Being from California, my husband and I are big fish taco lovers. Him more so than me, but the whole family enjoys them. The most authentic ones and his absolute favorites are all in San Diego, but since we live in the San Francisco area, he made it his quest to seek out the best… Read more »

I’m gearing up to post these delicious Paleo and SCD fish tacos and wanted you to have the essential sauce recipes first. Of course, you can always buy a ready made Pico De Gallo and Avocado Crema Salsa to put on these tacos, but fresh and homemade is always best in my opinion. You can make… Read more »

Oh man. You guys are in trouble with this one. These Paleo truffles are so addicting. I think I’ve gained 5 pounds just from my trial batches! The outer chocolate shell provides a slight crunch when you bite in, and the chocolate inside melts as soon as it hits your tongue. These little bites of… Read more »

As you probably saw on Facebook yesterday, I made these almond pulp crackers with almond flour instead to make savory and sweet crackers. I used Honeyville Almond Flour which I love for it’s fine grain and smooth texture from the blanched and skinless almonds. Sadly though, the recipe didn’t convert well and when they came… Read more »

Green Turkey Chili with White Beans is really easy to make and extremely flavorful. You can even make it in your crockpot if you’d like! I like my foods on the mild side, but if you can handle the heat, you can add in a couple of extra chilies. I don’t recommend using canned beans…. Read more »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »
