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…

Are you a Food Fascist?

I recently read this post from Michael Ruhlman titled, “Food Fascism” and it really struck a nerve with me. I’ve known a lot of people like this and I just had to say something. Read on, you might be surprised at where I go with this post. Michael went on to talk about a wedding [...]

Shepard’s Pie
from Zenbelly

I never even knew what a Shepard’s Pie was until I lived in London in 1990 and came across it while perusing the menu at one of London’s many great pubs. I remember asking the waiter what it was and he just looked at me with a blank stare, it was almost as if I [...]

Grain-Free Pumkin Pie Bars

Grain-Free Pumpkin Pie Bars
from Spoonful of Sugar Free

When I see a recipe like this for what looks like a really decadent dessert, but is actually made from wholesome ingredients, it makes me scratch my head. Why on Earth would you eat something else that does nothing but damage your health with cheap artificial ingredients and a ton of sugar? Even the whipped [...]

Cauliflower Fried Rice Bowl by Deliciously Organic

Chicken and Cauliflower “Fried Rice”
from Deliciously Organic

In my college days, fried rice from Panda Express was a staple for me and despite the less than healthy make-up of it, is something I remember quite fondly. I don’t touch rice anymore, I certainly don’t use soy sauce, and I wouldn’t dare come close to the oils that are used in fast food [...]

Cooking Real Food:
Minimally Processed, Unrefined Fats & Oils
from Nourished Kitchen

I used to buy fat-free or low-fat everything. I’d look at labels and scoff at how much fat was in some products and I thought I was doing the right thing. It’s easy to get sucked into the hype when you’re looking for a healthy way to eat…

The Toxic Truth
About Gluten-Free Food and Celiac Disease
A guest post by Jordan Reasoner

Today, even the smallest grocery stores across America are beginning to carry gluten-free foods in a “healthy living” section, right next to the green tea. Gluten-Free foods are becoming ubiquitous and synonymous with living a healthy lifestyle…

Homemade Mayonaise
from Zenbelly

I’ve attempted several recipes for homemade mayo and have never had much luck.  I don’t know if it’s my impatience for slowly drizzling in the olive oil or if it’s something as simple as looking at the wrong recipe. Every time I’ve attempted it, I get a great tasting but soupy mess. Enter this mayo [...]

Spaghetti with Red Wine Sauce
from The Food Lovers Kitchen

I’m not typically one to go on about missing something from my pre-celiac days, but spaghetti really does count as a true comfort food. In fact, our family has a weekly spaghetti night, it’s something we all look forward to week after week and is a tradition that I’m sure will last for many years [...]

Paleo Coconut Macaroons by Elana's Pantry

Paleo Coconut Macaroons
by Elana’s Pantry

For whatever reason, I just realized that I hadn’t posted any of Elana’s recipes in a while — that’s really ashamed since Elana’s Pantry is one of the go to sites for amazing gluten and more recently grain-free recipes. These Paleo Coconut Macaroons are no exception, with only four really simple ingredients, you can’t go [...]
