Egg Free

Royal Icing {coconut butter}

December 20, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

Cookie Icing

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}

December 13, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Gingerbread Cookies

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 …

Holiday 2020

Holiday2020collage

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

November 16, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

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

November 15, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

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 …

Baked Halibut

November 7, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

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

October 26, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

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

October 21, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

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 …

Refrigerator Pickles {quick & easy}

August 19, 2020 by Erica 12 Comments

Tuna Salad and Pickles - Comfy Belly

It’s really easy to make pickles, and cultured food (also known as fermented food) is great for developing healthy gut microbes. I have a slightly more detailed recipe on how to make dill pickles, but this one is even easier. Mostly because it requires fewer ingredients to gather together. Pickling cucumbers, kosher salt, and white …

Thai Sauce

July 12, 2020 by Erica 8 Comments

Thai Sauce & Marinade

I’d like to introduce you to my favorite Thai sauce, and in my opinion the best Thai sauce. It’s packed with vitamin C, folate, and potassium, and uses fresh ingredients you may already have on hand. I avoid soy sauce and other processed ingredients in favor of natural juices, sweeteners, nut butter, and salt. I …

Strawberry Ripple Frozen Yogurt

June 8, 2020 by Erica 6 Comments

Comfy Belly: Strawberry Ripple FroYo

Here’s my rendition of strawberry ripple frozen yogurt. The addition of lemon and salt make this lip-smacking good. I usually prefer straight, sweet ice cream or frozen yogurt that tastes like ice cream exclusively, however this frozen yogurt tastes like strawberry ice cream. And is it me or does it seem like strawberries are available …

Zucchini Lasagna {grain free}

April 30, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

Zucchini Lasagna

There are many ways to make lasagna, including the traditional way. My first grain-free lasagna recipe is my Mexican Lasagna, which uses tortillas as noodles. This recipe for Zucchini Lasagna is a simple take on grain-free lasagna using zucchini slices as noodles. I make it dairy free by using my recipe for ricotta cheese using …
