Homemade Crock Pot Applesauce is a dish my whole family loves! It’s apple season and our farmer’s market is overflowing with the fruit in all different shapes, sizes and colors. It’s funny, but I look forward to apple season so that I can chat with “the apple man.” I’m ashamed to say that I don’t… Read more »

As I mentioned in my Trail Mix post, I’ve started soaking and dehydrating my nuts prior to eating them. You don’t have to soak them if you don’t want to, but buy raw nuts either way. These nuts are a great snack and are Paleo and SCD friendly.

It’s coming to the end of barbecue season which is a double edge sword. On one hand, I will miss the ease of throwing meat and veggies on the grill. Especially at the end of a long day! Grilled artichokes with a gluten-free remoulade sauce has been on constant rotation over here.  But on the… Read more »

This dish was created out of leftovers. And laziness. It was a Saturday and I put off going to the store all day, so when it came time for dinner, I found myself in a pickle. We’ve been trying to save money by not going out, so I rummaged through the fridge and pulled out… Read more »

I came across a recipe on CookingLight.com for a grilled peach salad that is to die for! The spicy nuances of the arugula pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the balsamic dressing. I can’t claim this recipe as my own, except that I changed the peaches to pears and added pine nuts. Here’s the link… Read more »

I love when these guys come back in season. It’s so nice to have a pasta alternative as a grain-free foodie. It has a pretty mild taste so it goes great underneath a pungent tomato sauce, but can also hold its own with just a little olive oil or butter and seasonings. Here’s a little… Read more »

Have I mentioned how much I love Fall? I’m sure I have, because I come from a family who is obsessed with the holidays. Most people are ready to skip on to the Winter holidays (or linger in the Summer sun), but I love this time of the year and wish it would last longer!… Read more »

There’s nothing better to me than a crisp and fresh salad for dinner. Especially when the weather is warm and turning on an oven only adds the heat. I do the chicken on the grill to keep the heat outside, and usually boil my eggs in the morning to have a few extras in the… Read more »

I’ve been reading a lot about the benefits of soaking and dehydrating nuts prior to eating them, so I thought I would try it for the first time for my easy trail mix. I purchased all of my raw nuts and seeds at Whole Foods in the bulk section. It is much cheaper than buying… Read more »

This Crock Pot Italian Fagioli Soup was inspired by a copy cat recipe of Olive Garden’s Pasta e Fagioli soup that a friend passed along to me.  Her soup was delicious, but not SCD legal and also had a lot of ingredients that I can’t eat right now (see my Facebook Post). I substituted ground turkey… Read more »

I have two vices: ice cream and french fries. When I first went on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, I thought I’d never be able to enjoy ice cream again. Then I found Coconut Bliss ice cream at Whole Foods and realized that coconut milk ice cream is even better than the dairy version! This recipe… Read more »

The produce available right now is so mouth-watering! All of the gorgeous squashes, pears, and apples are so inspiring and make me want to buy them without even having a purpose for them. One of my favorites are the succulent heirloom tomatoes, in all of their vibrant colors. This dish features these gems, along with… Read more »

The first day of Autumn is quickly approaching and it’s still 95 degrees where we live! I decided I’m going to go ahead and ignore the weather and pretend that it is Fall here by making this delicious Gluten Free Vanilla Almond Granola! Although I don’t think I’ll last long outside in a trench and… Read more »

My husband and I went to Mammoth Lakes for a wedding for the weekend and left our little guy for the first time! SO grateful to have our parents nearby and so willing to hang with him. We had a great time, but came back to a very sick little boy. Darn colds. We’re homebound… Read more »
