Niçoise Salad {quick & easy}

August 25, 2019 by Erica 2 Comments

Nicoise Salad

I’m lazy about cooking when it’s warm outside. And I’m usually craving salads. This state of mind and body calls for quick and easy meals, like this Niçoise salad, that are loaded with protein and hardy veggies with a salty flavor. To make this, grab fresh produce, boil a few eggs, open a can or …

Avocado Kale Salad {lemon honey dressing}

August 17, 2019 by Erica Leave a Comment

Kale Avocado Salad

Avocado and kale go great together. Avocado is a great source of healthy fat and kale is loaded with vitamins (A, B, C, and K) as well as a good dose of manganese, fiber, and protein. Kale is a bit tougher and more fibrous, as green leaves go, so using your hands to tear it …

Lemon Blueberry Loaf {coconut flour}

August 4, 2019 by Erica 43 Comments

Lemon Blueberry Loaf

I’ve got a thing for blueberries and lemons, and they definitely belong together in the form of a lemon blueberry loaf, using coconut flour. After playing around with lemon muffins and blueberries I decided to turn the recipe into a cake. This tastes very much like a lemon pound cake so if you prefer you …

Lemon Muffins {coconut flour}

July 17, 2019 by Erica 7 Comments

Lemon Muffins

I started with the intention of testing lemon juice in place of milk in my vanilla cupcake recipe, which turned into creating a recipe for lemon muffins. I kept adding more lemon juice until I discovered it’s great with about a 1/4 cup of lemon juice added to my somewhat standard coconut flour recipe ratio for …

Matzo Ball Soup {grain-free, nut-free}

April 19, 2019 by Erica 4 Comments

Matzo Ball Soup

Here’s a nut-free, grain-free, gluten-free (and on and on free!) version of matzo ball soup. It’s fairly simple and easy to make, given that it’s made up of chicken broth, herbs, and matzo balls. And it’s easy to make it vegetarian—just swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth and the butter for oil. Matzo …

Almond Toffee Brownies {grain free}

February 16, 2019 by Erica 25 Comments

Almond Toffee Brownies

One of the things I love about creating recipes is all the additions and changes that readers suggest. I feel equally happy about recipe testing and happy accidents. When a reader, Bhavna, told me about adding a cup of coffee to my blondies recipe, I immediately thought I need to try that! I only had …

Cream of Mushroom Soup {dairy free}

November 10, 2018 by Erica 7 Comments

Cream of Mushroom Soup

I love the earthy flavor of cooked mushrooms. Roasted, sautéed, grilled. They all lead to goodness. Here’s another way to harness the flavor and love of mushrooms—cream of mushroom soup. And it’s dairy-free. I use either cashew cream or cauliflower for the creamy base. The flavor is equally good in both, but for a slightly …

Turkey Meatloaf

October 14, 2018 by Erica 3 Comments

Turkey meatloaf

I eat meat occasionally, mostly fish and poultry, and mostly from wild sources. It would make my food life complete if could source everything directly from the earth. All this means I get most of my protein from plants, and sometimes fish and poultry. My favorite is roasted chicken, but occasionally I’ll experiment. This meatloaf …

Date Ketchup {quick & easy}

October 13, 2018 by Erica 2 Comments

Ketchup with dates

Dates contain a healthy dose of vitamin, minerals, and fiber, and they are a completely natural sweetener. I don’t buy dates often but I usually have leftovers stored in my refrigerator after making a raw cheesecake. I’m not sure how long dates are supposed to last in the refrigerator but I keep them for a …

Zucchini rollatini is great any time of year, but especially when zucchini is in season. And an added bonus here is that it’s dairy-free thanks to the cashew ricotta recipe included here. There’s 3 recipes all rolled into one here: a very quick, easy marina sauce, cashew ricotta cheese, and finally, the rollatini. You can …
