Original recipes for health and happiness
This is a mash up post. I often post individual recipes that can be used in a number of ways because I offer a number of ways to make things. In this case, it’s my chocolate cupcakes and nut butter cream frosting. You can use this frosting on a bunch of different things, like cupcakes, …
Sloppy Joes is sweetened and sautéed ground protein and vegetables. It’s very easy to whip up in a large frying pan and it’s goes well in between sandwich rolls (in the photo), sandwich rounds, on top of mashed cauliflower, or in a warm bowl on it’s own. It also pairs well with creamy coleslaw and …
This icing recipe uses coconut butter and coconut milk to make spreadable dairy-free icing. Coconut butter and coconut oil are two different ingredients. Coconut oil is the oil that’s been extracted from the coconut solids, and coconut butter is the coconut solids that has been ground into a paste. In general, coconut butter is a …
I’ve created a new gingerbread cookie recipe using coconut oil, instead of unsalted butter. My gingerbread cookies recipe from several years ago uses butter, an egg, a greater amount of almond flour, and it’s a denser cookie than this recipe. My kitchen floor is being replaced which means I’m without my trusty oven range, which …
Over the past two weeks I became obsessed with pumpkin cheesecake. I’ve made at least 6 cheesecakes and I’ve eaten all of them. I started with my dairy-free pumpkin cheesecake recipe, and then moved on to dairy-based pumpkin cheesecakes. The result is this recipe for pumpkin cheesecake using either Farmer’s cheese or dripped yogurt, also …
This is my first time creating a pumpkin cheesecake, and I chose to make it dairy free using cashews and baking it, versus using cashews to make a raw cheesecake. I’m a huge fan of the classic New York-style cheesecake. That said, I’m into non-dairy versions of things, but cheesecake is definitely a challenge to …
Hi everyone! Here are my thoughts on cooking for the holidays: Keep things as simple as possible so that you don’t feel like you’re running a marathon only to finally crash at the table, utterly exhausted. If you’re eating with others, ask them to help with the preparation. Make stuff ahead of time, and put …
I’m a huge fan of stuffing and I can eat it alone, or as a part of a meal. In this recipe I stuff a turkey breast with mushroom cornbread cranberry stuffing, and you can modify the stuffing or use a different stuffing. There are some great reasons to make a stuffed turkey breast, also …
Sautéed greens are so easy to pull together, and can be made 5 minutes before the rest of a meal. You can also make greens as a snack anytime you think your body need a good shot of tasty green goodness. Kermit would be proud. This is one of my favorite ways to get vitamins …
If you’re a fan of my no-corn cornbread, you’ll like these corn muffins. I don’t use any grain at all, just grain-free almond and coconut flour. They’re easy to make dairy free by substituting butter for olive oil or another oil. I haven’t tested it yet, but I’ll get you can use apple sauce in …
I made the most tender baked halibut, lightly coated with almond flour, paired it with sautéed mushrooms and spinach, and it was heavenly. So of course I had to share it with you. I purchased halibut from my local market that sells sustainable, wild fish (not farmed), so it was a bit on the expensive …
I create recipes using simple, nutrient-dense ingredients, staying as close to the earth as possible.
One of my boys was diagnosed with Crohn’s, which inspired me to start Comfy Belly, and create recipes to share my love of good, healthy food. Read More →
