Featured Recipe: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: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: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…

I used to be a chronic snacker and still do love something salty in the afternoon. Instead of grabbing potato chips or cheese puffs like I used to do, I’m pretty quick at throwing together some sort of vegetable chip, my favorites being parsnip chips and eggplant chips. I usually will slice a bunch up [...]
Are you looking for a healthy dip to serve at a party? As you know most dips are tasty, but are usually loaded with some really horrible ingredients. Here’s a great option from Alta Mantsch of Tasty Eats at Home. It’s a Creamy Chipotle Butternut Dip made from butternut squash, cashews, tahini, garlic, olive oil, and [...]
Simplicity always rules. For me, eating food made from clean and simple ingredients has been the easiest and best way to take control of my health and my life (forgive me if I sound like I’m preaching). Cauliflower is such an easy and nutrient dense food that is so readily available and so easy to [...]
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 [...]
Back before my celiac diagnosis, I was a big fan of hot cereal. I loved oatmeal, cream of wheat, cream of rice, just to name a few. They were filling, tasty and I thought they were healthy. While I was wrong on the healthy part, filling and tasty they were. I haven’t tried this particular [...]
I came across this video of Dr. Terry Wahls successful battle with MS today while reading a post on the same subject from Kristen of Food Renegade. It’s an absolutely amazing tale of doing what you think is right and then learning to think for yourself when all else fails. I was in tears after [...]
It may be a bit of a cliché, but everything really is better with bacon. And despite what a lot of really well meaning folks will tell you, it’s actually pretty good for you, fat and all. I’m sure a lot of folks eyes are popping out of their heads while reading this, but don’t [...]
It’s about time for a champagne post. Champagne isn’t exactly at the top of the list when it comes to healthy items — for me, it’s not so much about the alcohol content, but the amount of sugar. Regardless, it’s one of those items that I still occasionally choose to indulge in. One of my [...]
For the past several years, I’ve been in love with salads. I just can’t get enough of them. My go-to salad has always been my own spinach concoction which would come closest to resembling a Cobb salad. I’m always in search of new ideas for my daily salad feast and this one from Sylvie Shirazi [...]
