Pumpkin Whoopie Pies (Grain Free, Gluten Free)

September 18, 2012

I’ve read many on the web talking about their frustration with people making treats out of unprocessed ingredients. I sort of see their point. If you’re going to eat unprocessed, then it’s always the best option to eliminate sweets out of your diet, but how many of us really want to foods only as they [...]

How to Roast Bell Peppers

September 13, 2012

Roasted bell peppers are an easy food to make at home, but often times we purchase them from the store instead. Many roasted and jarred bell peppers contain preservatives and additives that are best to avoid if possible. Making roasted bell peppers at home is another small change you can make to move towards a [...]

Chicken Parmesan with Zucchini Noodles (Grain Free, Paleo, Primal, Gaps, Gluten Free)

September 10, 2012

For years, my Sunday night ritual centered on a bowl of noodles. Garlic noodles to be exact – buttery, creamy, a little salty and sweet. Since going grain free, I stopped my ritual and I occasionally miss that bowl of noodles. It’s not necessarily the taste I miss, but the comfort of a meal in [...]

Zuccotto (Grain Free, Paleo, Primal, Gluten Free)

September 4, 2012

I think I might be having too much fun with desserts. I haven’t developed a new sweet-tooth, but am fascinated and challenged by just how many recipes there are to create without grains.

Grain free baking is the best! The ingredients and methods are usually very simple. There’s no worry about over-mixing and causing too much gluten to form.

Sprouted Lentil Hummus (Grain Free, Gluten Free, GAPS)

August 27, 2012

I enjoy lentils and prefer to sprout them before eating. The sprouting process neutralizes enzyme inhibitors and removes phytic acid found in nuts, seeds, grains, beans and legumes. I’ve read many articles (mainly from the paleo/primal point of view) suggesting to avoid legumes completely because of their enzyme inhibitors, but if there’s a way to [...]

Homemade Chocolate Sauce

August 23, 2012

I’ve been thinking for days about how to introduce this recipe with words. But there really aren’t any required – it’s homemade chocolate sauce. Enough said, right? Made with only four ingredients, it dissolves perfectly into milk and keeps in the fridge for up to 3 weeks. Pour it over ice cream, yogurt or granola. [...]

Back-to-School Lunch Ideas (Paleo, GAPs, Grain Free, Gluten Free)

August 20, 2012

I think every back-to-school post starts with “I can’t believe the summer is gone!”. That’s exactly how I feel. Summer was great, but all of a sudden it’s time to buckle down, get back to a schedule, and start packing lunches each morning while a bit bleary-eyed, sipping on coffee. This year I want to [...]

Homemade Grape Nuts Cereal (Paleo, GAPs, Primal, Grain Free, Dairy Free)

August 15, 2012

Sometimes my kids want cereal for breakfast. Heck, even I occasionally want a bowl. Unfortunately, I don’t know of a single minimally-processed cereal available at the grocery store that I feel comfortable feeding my kids. Even if the cereal only has a few ingredients, the high temperatures and pressures required to form long strands or [...]
