Marha Pörkölt – Hungarian Beef Paprika Stew
from The Shiksa in the Kitchen

Every post from Tori Avey of The Shiksa in the Kitchen is like going back to school for Jewish studies. It’s really a treat to get a little more in depth into where some of our favorite recipes originated. While a beef stew has origins in many cultures…

Grain Free Sausage Stuffed Pancake Bites
(Gluten, Dairy, Corn, Soy Free)
from Real Sustenance

I’m usually not one to reminisce about food that I used to eat — in fact, my mantra is usually to embrace things that are new. I will finally give and say that this post for Sausage Stuffed Pancakes from Brittany at Real Sustenance really put a smile on my face. It immediately took me [...]

Chocolate Blackberry Mille-Feuille
from Gourmande in the Kitchen

Let me start this post by saying that I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. Overcrowded restaurants, overpriced flowers, and most of all, I’ve always questioned why February 14 is supposed to be something special for my wife and I. For us, it was always April 18 — that was the day we met [...]

Featured Recipe:
Honey Coconut Macaroons
with Chocolate Dipping Sauce
from Gourmande in the Kitchen

I haven’t been following Sylvie of Gourmande in the Kitchen for very long, but with recipes like this, I know exactly why I do. I can’t even begin to tell you how much it means to me when I see someone who appreciates subtlety in flavor — especially when it comes to desserts. So many [...]

Curried Coconut Flake “Chips”
(Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegan)
from Real Sustenance

Coconut flakes are so incredibly versatile (as is a coconut in general) and are equally as delicious. While this recipe from Brittany of Real Sustenance is for “Chips”, I also posted an idea from Coconut “cereal & milk” from Roland Denzel back in June of 2011 which also showcased how versatile and great tasting they can be. [...]

Raw Cacao Truffles
from Zenbelly

This is a wonderful little sweet treat from Zenbelly that you can eat anytime without fear of over indulgence (I guess that depends on how many of them you eat though). Great ingredients including honey or maple syrup as a sweetener and you’ve got a winner. I’ll take these over a Snicker’s Bar any day, [...]

Pork Chops Agrodolce
from The Cilantropist

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 [...]

Root Vegetable Chips
from Mastering the Art of Paleo Cooking

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 [...]

Creamy Chipotle Butternut Dip
from Tasty Eats at Home

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 [...]

Roasted Cauliflower Soup
from Elana’s Pantry

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 [...]

Grain-Free Blueberry Almond Crumb Muffins
from Nourished Kitchen

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 [...]

Breakfast Porridge
(Grain, Nut, Soy, Dairy, Sugar, Egg Free)
from Real Sustenance

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 [...]
