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 »

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 »

Use this sauce on pizzas, spaghetti squash, or drizzled over fish!

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »

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 »
