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 …
Thai Pineapple Shrimp Curry {quick & easy}
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. …
Green Velvet Soup {quick & easy}
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 …
Blackened Chicken
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, …
Cinnamon Raisin English Muffin {almond & coconut flour}
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. …
English Muffin {almond & coconut flour}
I’ve seen a few versions of this recipe but didn’t take it too seriously. I didn’t really believe it was possible. But I had to try it. I won’t lie. It’s not identical to the texture and taste of an English muffin made with all-purpose flour, but it’s a good substitute if you can’t eat …
Chicken Marsala {dairy-free, grain-free}
Ok. Big confession here. When I first tested this dish, I forgot to buy the Marsala wine. So I winged it, and tested a few more times, and now I prefer it without Marsala wine. That said, feel free to use Marsala wine with this recipe. Most of the alcohol cooks off pretty quickly, but …
Baked Apples
Baking an apple is an exercise in patience (for me), given the long baking time. But it’s so worth the wait. My grandmother served baked apples for dessert when I was young. Nothing fancy. From my memory it was baked until it was completely soft. Since I don’t know how she prepared it, I’ve experimented …
Creamed Spinach {dairy-free}
If you’re a creamed spinach lover but you’re not eating dairy, no need to wonder what other dishes you’ll be able to eat. You can have this. Creamed spinach is usually made with dairy-based cream and cheese, which is not an option for folks avoiding dairy. This recipe uses cashew cream and spinach. The cashew cream …
Pumpkin Custard
One of the main reasons I eat pumpkin pie is the custard filling. So I figured I’d just cut to the chase and make the pumpkin custard. This is a simple, one-bowl recipe, and it works as breakfast, snack, or dessert. Dress it with whipped coconut cream, a dollop of yogurt, a crumble of nuts, or …
Wonton Meatball Soup
I’ve been craving a soup with a simple broth, some spinach, and a few tender wonton meatballs. I’ve been thinking about making this soup for months. No years. I love wonton soup. But I’ve stayed away from take-out soup for many years now. So it has come to this. And there’s no dough here. It …
Blondies {almond butter}
Here’s a shout out to those of you who don’t or can’t eat chocolate. Blond brownies, also known as blondies, are a must make. If you’ve been wondering what to do with that jar of almond butter in your pantry, here’s a great excuse to screw off the top and pull together a sweet, healthy …
