Chocolate Chip Cookies (Grain Free, Gluten Free, Paleo, Primal)

August 30, 2012

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. The cookies don’t spread all over the pan and the cakes never rise too high. In most recipes, you can pour all the ingredients into a food processor, mixer [...]

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 [...]

Butterflied Roast Chicken with Red Onions

July 27, 2012

Roast Chicken is my “I don’t want to cook” meal. It’s fast and requires very little hands-on preparation. I butterfly it, brush it with ghee, add some onions and another vegetable or two, season with salt and pepper, put it in the oven and walk away. About one hour later I have a beautiful chicken [...]

Vegetable Tian

July 25, 2012

A few weeks ago I was chatting with Lisa while unloading groceries and our conversation went a little like this: “What did you buy?” “What do you mean?” “Specifically, what did you buy? Have you ever taken pictures of it and posted it on your blog?” “Umm… no. Why? Should I?” “Of course! I want [...]

Strawberry Jam

July 20, 2012

If you’ve contemplated making jam this summer, now’s the time! The berries and fruits are in their prime and with a few simple ingredients, you can make an easy honey-sweetened version of the store-bought variety. Apples contain plenty of natural pectin, so I chose to use half an apple in my jam. I cut out [...]

Chopped Waldorf Salad Recipe

July 13, 2012

The first time I ever heard of Waldorf salad was late one night while watching Fawlty Towers with my dad. My dad and I love a good laugh and he introduced me to the hilarious comedy starring John Cleese. We would fill up big bowls with popcorn and laugh the night away. The rest of the family [...]
