Featured Recipe:The tortilla is obviously one of those items that people feel they cannot do without after embarking on a gluten-free diet. Tortillas really are better than bread for holding together a sandwich and not nearly as messy as trying to eat with a lettuce wrap (although, I do have to say, I love my lettuce wraps)…

Featured Product:I had given up hope on beef jerky a long time ago. Not only were most of the store bought versions not gluten-free, they also contained a pretty hideous list of ingredients that I wouldn’t even want to feed my…

Pork chops is a childhood favorite for me. I grew up eating the classic Brady Bunch “pork chops & apple sauce”. The pork chops my parents made wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but it was good enough to create a long lasting memory. Fast forward 30+ years and I find myself always looking for [...]
I used to be a chronic snacker and still do love something salty in the afternoon. Instead of grabbing potato chips or cheese puffs like I used to do, I’m pretty quick at throwing together some sort of vegetable chip, my favorites being parsnip chips and eggplant chips. I usually will slice a bunch up [...]
Are you looking for a healthy dip to serve at a party? As you know most dips are tasty, but are usually loaded with some really horrible ingredients. Here’s a great option from Alta Mantsch of Tasty Eats at Home. It’s a Creamy Chipotle Butternut Dip made from butternut squash, cashews, tahini, garlic, olive oil, and [...]
Simplicity always rules. For me, eating food made from clean and simple ingredients has been the easiest and best way to take control of my health and my life (forgive me if I sound like I’m preaching). Cauliflower is such an easy and nutrient dense food that is so readily available and so easy to [...]
More grain-free goodness with these lovely Blueberry Almond Crumb Muffins from Jenny of Nourished Kitchen. I also love the fact that they’re only sweetened with honey. While it’s best to use nut flours sparingly, these are a wonderful treat that should not be missed. Perfect with a cup of tea or coffee anytime you’re looking for [...]
Back before my celiac diagnosis, I was a big fan of hot cereal. I loved oatmeal, cream of wheat, cream of rice, just to name a few. They were filling, tasty and I thought they were healthy. While I was wrong on the healthy part, filling and tasty they were. I haven’t tried this particular [...]
I came across this video of Dr. Terry Wahls successful battle with MS today while reading a post on the same subject from Kristen of Food Renegade. It’s an absolutely amazing tale of doing what you think is right and then learning to think for yourself when all else fails. I was in tears after [...]
It may be a bit of a cliché, but everything really is better with bacon. And despite what a lot of really well meaning folks will tell you, it’s actually pretty good for you, fat and all. I’m sure a lot of folks eyes are popping out of their heads while reading this, but don’t [...]
