Beef Stew (Grain Free, Gluten Free, Gaps, Paleo, Primal)

December 3, 2012

Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread (Dairy Free, Paleo, Grain Free)

The homemade variety always trumps processed food found on store shelves for me. There’s always a way to create the same flavors at home without so many harmful ingredients. I’ve made dozens of chocolate-hazelnut spreads, but none of them really wowed me – until I met this recipe. I adapted it to use either dairy-free [...]

Maybe not a fancy dish, but a welcome one. Creamy and buttery, but without all the carbs. Of course, Thanksgiving comes with indulgences, but if you want to save your indulgence for another dish, creamy mashed cauliflower makes the perfect stand-in for mashed potatoes.

Sweet Potato Casserole (Grain Free, Paleo, Primal)

November 13, 2012

Most Thanksgiving tables regularly feature sweet potato casserole. I enjoy the subtle, creamy sweetness combined with the crunchy, sweet-salty pecan topping. This version isn’t too sweet, but you can add additional honey if you want. Use either cream or coconut milk depending on your dietary needs. You can make the potato mixture two days ahead [...]

Pumpkin Pie (Grain Free, Paleo, Primal, Gaps)

November 10, 2012

Sometimes a recipe just comes to me out of the blue. Other times, it takes many tries. This pie took me a while to perfect. It’s important to me that pumpkin pie isn’t sickly sweet and has a nice custard-like filling – nothing too thick. The grain-free crust needs to stay firm without getting soggy [...]

Pumpkin Ice Cream with Graham Cracker Crumbles (Dairy Free, Paleo, Gaps, Grain Free)

Can you feel the “busy” season creeping in? As soon as the first cold snap hits, my thoughts quickly drift toward fall parties, my Thanksgiving menu, and all the Christmas details. If I don’t pay attention, I let my life get too hectic. Between my computer, phone, tv, and other gadgets, I can easily become [...]
