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 [...]

Sour Milk: Lessons from Scandinavia
via Nourished Kitchen

I eat yogurt nearly every morning. Along with my tea, it’s been a ritual that I’ve had for nearly 20 years. Back before my diagnosis of celiac disease in 1999 and prior to my interest in real food, I used to stick everything imaginable in it and more times than not, I wasn’t doing myself [...]

Featured Recipe:
Homemade Root Beer
from The Nourished Kitchen

I’ve always been a big fan of making things from scratch. It’s more the fun of knowing that you’re creating something from ingredients that you either grew yourself or ingredients that you were able to pick up at a farmer’s market — either way, it’s very empowering as well as tasty. Needless to say, when [...]

Tricolored Berry & Kefir Popsicles for July 4th
from The Nourished Kitchen

It’s been well over 100º for the last couple of days here in the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles (with no relief in sight). It’s a good enough reason to post more popsicle recipes — this is my second one in as many days. As I’ve said before, me and my kids love making [...]

10 Tips for Real Food Newbies
from The Nourished Kitchen

This post from The Nourished Kitchen isn’t specifically about the gluten-free diet, but just about all of Jenny’s tips could easily be followed with success for those starting out on a gluten-free diet. Some, like “Learn to read labels, really read them” are obvious, but others like, “Ditch the boxes and packages and learn to stick [...]

Curried Lentil Soup with Coconut Milk
from Nourished Kitchen

Indian food has long been a favorite of mine — both before and after my celiac diagnosis. So much of it is naturally gluten-free and all of it is so so delicious. Whether I’m making one of my own Indian inspired dishes (or in this case, this dish from The Nourished Kitchen) or heading out [...]

Strawberry Mint Sorbet
from Nourished Kitchen

Sorbet is one of my absolute favorite desserts — it’s usually* one of the safest dessert options that a celiac can get in a restaurant as well. But who needs to wait for the restaurant when you can make something like this recipe from The Nourished Kitchen at home.  Fresh ingredients and a food processor [...]

Onion Bisque with Frizzled Leeks
from Nourished Kitchen

The Nourished Kitchen is quickly becoming another favorite blog. Recipe after recipe is nothing but real food goodness. I find myself waiting with bated breath for every new post. If you haven’t been there yet, or if you have but you haven’t tried the recipes, you’re really missing out. On top of the great recipes, [...]

Lard-Fried Potato Chips
with Smoked Paprika & Scallions
from Nourished Kitchen

I can eat chips of almost any kind. I’ve really been enjoying things like kale chips lately, as well as parsnip chips too. But while these are all good, nothing really compares to the potato chip. In terms of flavor, in terms of crunch, and in terms of overall satisfaction.  I do try to limit [...]

Salisbury Steak for Grown-ups
from Nourished Kitchen

I really love the title of this post (Dec 26, 2010) from Jenny of Nourished Kitchen, “Salisbury Steak for Grown-ups”. As she mentions in her post, certain dishes can provoke powerful memories for many of us. As a kid I loved Salisbury Steak, but it was usually in the form of a frozen TV dinner and [...]

Rustic Mayan Chocolate Truffles
from Nourished Kitchen

This is one healthy looking piece of chocolate. Then again, everything from The Nourished Kitchen tends to have a health focus. Chocolate (85% cocoa content), cinnamon, chili powder, and coconut milk — this is a meal in itself. Who says that healthy doesn’t taste good? – – – “Mayan chocolate, bitter and sexy, with its resonant [...]
