It’s likely you could live on these cupcakes for a few days, if you had to. I speak from experience. I really just wanted to have some fun with the nut butter cream frosting I created, and I love peanut butter and jelly. And, of course if you can’t eat peanut butter you can use …
This frosting is decadent. Which is why it has a post all to itself. I was going to call it “nut butter frosting” but it’s definitely a level above frosting due to the butter component, making it more like butter cream frosting. And any nut butter will work with this frosting. If you prefer almond …
This recipe is great any time of year, but especially when zucchini is in season. There’s 3 recipes all rolled into one here: a very quick, easy marina sauce, cashew ricotta cheese, and finally, the rollatini. You can grill or pan-fry the zucchini strips. And, if it’s hot outside you can get away with baking …
Keep this recipe in your back pocket because it’s easy and you never know when you might need a batch of tomato sauce in a matter of 5 minutes. The key ingredient is a jar or can of crushed tomatoes, a dash of olive oil, and a few herbs. For folks who follow SCD, there …
I find raw cheesecake one of the easiest cake styles to make. There’s no baking, just soaking of raw cashews and some processing of nuts and in this case, berries. You will need a food processor or high-speed blender to get a creamy consistency. After that, layer all the ingredients in a spring-form pan or pie …
Way back when I first whipped up a batch of pancakes using coconut flour, they seemed pretty fluffy to me. I was grateful for something close to what I wanted. That was then. The trick to getting thick and fluffy pancakes is to add something acidic, like yogurt, to react with the baking soda. The reaction …
Have you ever made a spaghetti pie? I hadn’t, until now. That’s because now it’s using spaghetti squash. No pasta or pizza dough here. This is not a quick recipe because the baking time is close to an hour. But it is easy, and it serves as breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or even snack. Make …
In the middle of the Arizona desert, steps from majestic rock formations and red dirt trails, I had a nourishing dish at a Thai restaurant. And then, when I got home, I made it again and again. It’s a very simple curry with tons of flavor, fresh ingredients, and it’s quick and easy to make. …
It’s a fact. I feel best eating green food. And, yeah, I’m an organic girl whenever possible. Spending the extra money on organic food is my donation to the planet. But do what you can afford, because all veggies and fruit are good. I get a kick out of creating and consuming quick and easy …
Paprika, salt, and garlic powder are the 3 key seasonings for this quick and easy blackened chicken. This happens to be one of my go-to recipes when I’m craving a fast, protein-heavy meal. I have another version using eggs that cooks eve quicker than this recipe. You can probably blacken the chicken using a grill, …
I’m a huge fan of raisins, so it’s no surprise that I really liked this version of English muffin. The first version, a plain English muffin, fills a need for a quick bread fix. This version, with cinnamon, honey, and raisins, goes a step further with a slightly sweet taste and a slightly moister texture. …
Welcome! comfy belly is a place for me to store and share recipes, interviews, and tips. I use simple, nutrient-dense ingredients, staying as close to the earth as possible. One of my kids was diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2005, which inspired me to start Comfy Belly. Read More →
