Two of my favorite homemade desserts are my pumpkin spice custard and paleo custard. But my favorite way to enjoy them is to have a combination of both. So, if I make one, I usually end up making the other. After doing this a couple of times, I decided that maybe I could combine these […]
Easy, Grain-Free, Nut-Free Flatbread
What is the food that you tend to crave? For some people it’s bread. For others it’s sweet, sugary items. I’ve always veered toward the latter. While I don’t crave bread, the simplicity of grabbing a sandwich or a slice of pizza is not an option when following a grain-free protocol. It typically isn’t a […]
A Naturally Gluten-Free Bowl of Goodness
I love to cook, but there are times when the meal planning gets put on the back burner. I just don’t feel like thinking about what I’m going to cook for dinner that night. In times like this, I resort to my Bowl of Goodness. I just take whatever meat and veggies I have in […]

His primary symptom was extreme congestion (yeah, I’m talking about two parents not sleeping, taking shifts to allow their infant to sleep vertical at night kind […]
Sweet Potato and Smoked Paprika Cottage Pies
I wanted to make individual little meat and potato pies. I thought the kids would really enjoy these, and they did. Instead of white potatoes I used sweet potatoes. I am a huge fan of smoked paprika, and that added amazing flavor to these. These were a real hit and I will definitely be making […]
Sweet Potato Noodles with Bacon
Does the thought of what to eat for breakfast leave you staring into your fridge or feeling flustered in the morning? You’re not alone. My patients often report that breakfast is the most difficult meal for them every day. Why? There’s a lot of reasons (and I’m sure you have your own), but some of […]
