Have you ever tried those gluten-free waffles in the freezer section of your supermarket? I have and to be honest, they taste a bit like cardboard and have almost completely made me forget about waffles since being on a gluten-free diet. I’ve been making grain-free pancakes out of almond flour and coconut flour for a [...]
Spicy (or not) BBQ Sauce
from Zenbelly
Let me start by saying that I love BBQ sauce. Unfortunately it’s one of those things that we forget about quite fast as most store bought variations are loaded with refined sugar, soy sauce, and a whole host of other unsavory ingredients that really make it undesirable. I’ve found a few natural brands at stores [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Fluffy Almond Flour Pancakes
from Zenbelly
I absolutely love almond flour and coconut flour pancakes and I’ve tried virtually every grain-free recipe out there. Some are thicker than others, some are a bit too eggy (is eggy a word?) and they end up tasting a a lot like a frittata. I’ve played with my own recipe for quite some time now [...]
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, [...]
Taco Night
from Zenbelly
Tortillas (or a taco shell in this case) have so many uses and are something a lot of people newly diagnosed with celiac disease turn to in place of sandwiches. The first step is always the corn tortilla, but not only is corn not such a great choice for a celiac, but they also get [...]
Green Coconut Salmon & Cauliflower Rice
from Zenbelly
After a long night of fielding comments on Facebook from folks passionately defending their stance on (and support of) gluten-free junk-food, I’m worn out. I think my favorite comment was that I supported a “nanny-state” because I felt there was too much gluten-free junk food. I’m not quite sure how that works. As most folks [...]
Paleo Friendly Grain-Free Everything Crackers
from Zenbelly
I love, love, love finding new blogs that I haven’t seen before and even better when they have so many great ideas for healthy gluten-free snacks (or in this case a paleo-friendly snack). Zenbelly is one such blog — it’s from San Francisco Catering Chef, Simone Schifnadel. While I don’t miss things like bagels or [...]
