Featured Book:
Paleo Comfort Foods
by Julie & Charles Mayfield

I received this book more than a few months ago and have gone through it page by page and have tried at least a dozen of the recipes. It’s been a very handy resource in the kitchen, especially when looking for things to make my ever so skeptical and demanding kids. They always challenge me to make something that is either…

Featured Product:
Grass Fed Jerky Chews

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…

Southwest Stuffed Bell Peppers by Deliciously Organic

Southwestern Stuffed Bell Peppers
by Deliciously Organic

This recipe for Southwestern Stuffed Bell Peppers from Carrie Vitt of Deliciously Organic is a perfect example of the type of dish I would point people to when they ask, “what do you eat?”. Following a gluten and grain-free diet, it’s a question I get frequently. While I had that same reaction when I first [...]

Gluten-Free Southern Fried Chicken
by The Domestic Man

While the purpose of this post is to share a recipe for gluten-free southern fried chicken, it’s also about an amazing success story. I’ve shared quite a few success stories in the past, but this one is really impressive. It’s about Russ Crandall, who at the age of 25, suffered a stroke and had to [...]

Mom’s Wheat Sensitivity
and Offspring’s Schizophrenia Risk

In the midst of all the chaos this week came a very interesting diet/mental illness risk paper. Particularly good because it comes from the premier psychiatry journal…

Here’s a fantastic recipe for a Vietnamese Chicken Salad from yet another paleo blog titled The Clothes Make the Girl.

If you’ve looked at recipes on this site for any time at all, you’ll know that I love food made from real ingredients and even better if it’s not only gluten-free, but grain-free as well. I’ve posted numerous recipes for alternative pizza crusts in the past, but hands down, my favorite has been the cauliflower [...]

40 Clove Roast Chicken
from Cravings of a Lunatic
A guest post on The Shiksa in the Kitchen

I came across this recipe while on Tori Avey’s blog, The Shiksa in the Kitchen. It was a guest post by Kim from Cravings of a Lunatic — which is a new blog to me. It’s a blog that I wouldn’t normally be sharing a lot from as there’s not a lot of gluten-free options, [...]

The Untreated Celiac Disease Epidemic:
What can we learn from our parents?
A guest post by Jordan Reasoner

A note from Chris: Back in June of 2010, I wrote this short post on the passing of my father in 1975. It’s a story of “what if’s” and while it’s a sad story, it’s a story that needs to be told — because more likely than not, it’s a story that’s all too common. [...]

Grilled Pork Chops by Christopher Cina

Grilled Pork Chops, Cauliflower Gratin

I love finding recipes that are naturally gluten-free on websites that don’t necessarily devote themselves to the gluten-free diet. It just goes to show that you don’t need a package with a big “gluten-free” stamped on it to eat — and eat well. This post for Grilled Pork Chops, Cauliflower Gratin from Christopher Cina is [...]
