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 …
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 …

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins {almond flour}
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}
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 …
Deep Dish Pizza {almond & coconut flour}
This deep dish pizza recipe uses both almond and coconut flour to build a sturdy crust with a crunch around the edges. It reminds me of a cornmeal pizza crust that I’ve had on a few occasions at an artisan pizza restaurant, way back (over 20 years) when I lived in the Boston area. I …
Cashew Waffles {grain free}
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 …
