Broccoli “Potato” Soup

I’ve been on a bit of a cauliflower kick lately.  I never used to touch the stuff.  Now I love it.  And this past week (yes, during Christmas!) I’ve been “attempting” the Intro GAPS diet so I’ve been eating lots of soups.  I seem to have slipped off the wagon the past couple of days…

Welcome to the new website! I hope you find it even easier to navigate and enjoyable to look at.  Also, check out our new video if you haven’t had the chance yet!  You can find the link on the sidebar…  For some reason I can’t figure out how to link to it and will have…

Pumpkin Spice Cookies (egg-free, grain-free and sugar-free)

CIMG1699

My mom created this very yummy recipe for pumpkin cookies and we were both very pleased with them!  I really couldn’t resist them even though I’ve been cutting back considerably on eating honey and dried fruit these days. She based this recipe on my other grain-free cookie recipe.  But these are much more moist and…

I shop regularly at the Common Market, the local food coop in Frederick, Maryland.  Last week they had a new recipe out which looked really good so I grabbed a copy.  I made some adjustments due to time and diet, but I really loved how this recipe turned out.  And Elijah even said, “this is…

Grain-free Cauliflower Rice

This may not be new to some of you but I wanted to post it for those of you who don’t know about the wonders of cauliflower and how it makes amazing rice!  I first saw the idea to make it at GrainFreeFoodies where Sierra makes an awesome looking Fried Rice with it.  She also…

Lucky for all of you egg-free people, I’ve been experimenting more with egg-free baking these days than normal.  So I came up with a very yummy cookie that is egg-free, grain-free, gluten and wheat-free, dairy-free, and sugar free.  Yay!  I didn’t get a good picture of the actual cookies but you can see Elijah was…

The Egg-Free Breakfast for the Egg-Free Diet

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…

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…

Raw Granola Bars and Raw Granola

I was craving cereal over the weekend (doesn’t help that my husband buys cereal I can’t eat!) so I finally tried out a recipe I had found for Raw Nut Granola.  It is a bit of a process but it was so worth it.  It turned out as raw granola bars that you can break…
