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 […]
Grain-Free Crab Cakes
For me, following a gluten-free diet has become a way of life. While it did require giving up some not-so-healthy staples like pasta, bread, and cereal, it certainly didn’t mean I had to deprive myself of foods I love. The great thing about a gluten-free lifestyle is that you can get creative and make a “GF” version […]
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 […]

Cauliflower, Golden Beet, and Leek Soup
This soup is perfect for cold Upstate NY winters, with -10 degrees the last couple of days. Creamy soup warms the bones and this creamy soup is dairy free! I found these beautiful golden beets and thought they would add a unique flavor. The taste was amazing, and beets are great for detoxing the liver and […]
Sweet Potato Sliders

Ingredients: 1 large sweet potato Handful spinach 1 lb ground buffalo or grass fed beef Organic coconut oil Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 F. Slice sweet potatoes into rounds (consider how […]
Squash Soup with Bacon, Leeks, and Pumpkin Seeds
Ingredients: 4 cups of chopped squash. ***I strongly dislike chopping squash and have almost lost a finger a few times… so I purchased a pre-chopped mix of acorn, winter, and butternut squash. Any squash would work, even pumpkin! I like the mix because butternut alone is too sweet for my liking. 4 cups of filtered […]
Gluten-Free Meatloaf is the Ultimate Comfort Food
Meatloaf is a family favorite for good reason; it’s filling, delicious, and easy to get on the dinner table. Of course if you can’t — or don’t want to — eat gluten, you’ll have to adapt your traditional meatloaf recipe to your new needs. In addition to getting the grains out of your diet, ditching the […]
