This bagel recipe is grain-free, gluten-free, using almond flour. I’ve played around quite a bit with almond flour, cashew flour, and coconut flour, and making a bagel with them is an interesting endeavor. While not chewy like bagels made with all purpose flour, there are a few things I really love about this recipe: It …
Anise Biscotti
I updated this recipe on January 12, 2021. It now uses fewer ingredients, no eggs, oil or butter, and is crunchy! Biscotti go great with a cup of tea, coffee, a glass of juice, or dunked in just about anything. This recipe uses almond flour, but the technique is the same as most biscotti recipes …
Royal Icing {coconut butter}
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 …
Gingerbread Cookies {dairy free, egg free}
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 …
Pumpkin Cheesecake
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 …
Pumpkin Cheesecake {dairy free}
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 …
Holiday 2020
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 …
Roasted Stuffed Turkey Breast
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 Super Greens
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 …
No-Corn Corn Muffins
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 …
Baked Halibut
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 …
Pumpkin Chili
I’ve wanted to create my own favorite pumpkin chili recipe for a while. It finally came to me that it’s easy to combine pumpkin and spices to serve up a warm bowl of chili. I top my bowl with cashew ricotta cheese, green onions, and cilantro. But don’t let me stop you there. Sliced avocados, …
Cream of Broccoli Carrot Soup
The photo for this cream of broccoli soup would be more green except that one of the ingredients gives it an orange hue. That would be the carrots, and while I love a green soup, the addition of carrots makes it slightly sweet while packing a good dose of vitamin A into this nutritious bowl …
