Plantain Flour Pancakes
from Chris Kresser

Discovering that I could make pancakes out of something other than traditional flours was a great moment in my post celiac diagnosis life. Early on, I tried and enjoyed many of the store-bought variations — but the truth be told — so many of these aren’t doing us any favors in terms of quality ingredients…

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…

Roasted Acorn Squash with Ricotta & Honey
from MattBites

Matt Armendariz’s MattBites is quite possibly the furthest thing from a gluten-free blog that one could get (not that he’s trying to be either), but every once in a while he comes up with a real gem that the rest of us can enjoy — this Roasted Acorn Squash with Ricotta & Honey is one such [...]

Walnut & Coconut Porridge (grain-free)
from The Spunky Coconut

As I’ve mentioned before, I love the idea of a grain-free porridge for breakfast, I posted a good example of this made from acorn squash on “Top 10 grain-free replacement…” post the other day. For those of you who can tolerate nuts, here’s a fantastic porridge idea from Kelly of The Spunky Coconut. I think [...]

Book Review: Paleo Comfort Foods
Homestyle Cooking for a Gluten-Free Kitchen
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 [...]

Paleo Pina Colada Muffins
from Life As A Plate

If you’re looking for a dessert that you won’t feel guilty about, look no further. This one from AndreAnna of Life As A Plate uses two of my favorite ingredients to bake with; coconut flour and almond meal. Lightly sweetened with pineapple and honey (I skipped the optional turbinado sugar) and kept really moist with [...]

Thin Green Spinach and Herb Omelettes
from Gourmande in the Kitchen

An omelette is obviously naturally gluten-free providing that they don’t have any offending ingredients mixed in or worse yet, you get it from IHOP who happens to use pancake batter to make their eggs fluffy :(  Sylvie of Gourmande in the Kitchen certainly has it right when she says that an omelette… “is a feel-good, casual [...]

Green Eggs
from Elana’s Pantry

This is the second time I’ve posted this recipe for Green Eggs from Elana’s Pantry, but with St. Patrick’s Day being tomorrow, it could be a fun way to get your green on with the kids. It’s one one of those things that will make them stare in horror, but after they’ve tasted it, they will [...]

Baked Mustard Lime Chicken
from Elana’s Pantry

Chicken is one of the few things I can make that none of my kids will complain about. I have three kids, all with totally different tastes and obsessions and when there’s a night that I can make a single dish that they all love, it would be chicken. All three of them like their [...]

Say no to gluten-free junk food

The huge gluten-free market is huge for a reason — it’s been taken over by the same folks who supply the faux food to everyone else. It’s filled with sugar, hfcs, corn, soy, and just about every other chemical available to the manufacturers. The vast majority of it is in my opinion packaged poison (I [...]

Rosemary Parsnip Home Fries
from Real Sustenance

I can’t say that I agree with Brittany’s (Real Sustenance) comment about not being crazy about parsnips, but her Rosemary Parsnip Home Fries will make anyone a fan. I’d even go as far as saying that you might even like it better than real home fries. I’ve been making something similar to this to go [...]
