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 …

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins {almond flour}

August 29, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins

The unthinkable happened. My food processor is temporarily out of commission. But I’m happy to let you know that I tested these chocolate zucchini muffins without any electrical gadgets with great success. I grated the zucchini using my hand-held metal grater and mixed all the ingredients together in a bowl with a fork. It was that …

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 …

Cashew Waffles {grain free}

May 20, 2020 by Erica 20 Comments

Cashew Waffles

I was able to find a few pounds of fresh raw cashews before my local market’s stock began to thin out due to COVID-19.  Besides using the cashews for dairy-free ricotta cheese, I’ve been making these grain-free cashew waffles and I thought it was about time I share the recipe with you. I toss all …
