The Egg-Free Breakfast for the Egg-Free Diet

avocodopearbreakfast

It can be extremely difficult to give up certain foods you’re used to eating and depending on.  I have personally eaten eggs almost every day for the past “I don’t know how many” years.  I love eating them in the morning because they are easy to fix, don’t require defrosting or planning ahead, can hold…

Great deals on cookware at CSN stores, plus review on Cuisinart's Quick Prep Stick Blender

Their logo really says it all. Shopping is easy and I love the fact that I can find what I am looking for at the CSN stores at such great prices.  You can find a wide variety of merchandise such as Le Creuset dutch ovens to beds and baby blankets.  I also love websites like…

Homemade Tomato Sauce

A couple of weeks ago our tomatoes were booming, so I made a batch of homemade tomato sauce.  It didn’t last long and it was delicious.  There is truly nothing like fresh home grown tomatoes and sauce! I decided to leave it “chunky” but you could blend it up after it’s cooked if you want…

Gluten-free Summer Salads

One of our meals last week was a delicious Roasted Chicken with herbs and lemon as well as Cold Beet Salad, Sauerkraut and Garden Tomato and Basil Salad.  The three salads looked so beautiful together, I couldn’t help but take a picture.  And they tasted great together as well.  The beet and tomato salads are…

Vanilla Ice Cream recipes (dairy-free and sugar-free)

It’s summer and we all love ice cream, right?  The best dairy-free and sugar-free vanilla ice cream I’ve found is this one.  It is really delicious, both with the lavendar and without.  It is creamy and smooth and freezes well.  However, it is quite a bit of work so I don’t always feel like making…

Traditional Foods cook-day and GAPS menu plan

This week I had somewhat of a spontaneous “traditional foods cook day” for our family.  When I cook for clients as a personal chef, I call it a “cook day”, so this is where the term comes from.  It all came about when I decided to finally catch up on making sauerkraut and broth, both…
