Here is one of my favorite gravy recipes using a few basic ingredients, and no flour. Yes, no flour. And no grain-free flour or anything else resembling flour. You’ll notice the first ingredient is pan drippings from a roast, usually a turkey or chicken roast. To have pan drippings at a moment’s notice, you have a …
Cream of Mushroom Soup {dairy-free}
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
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}
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 …
Nut Butter Cream Frosting
This frosting is decadent. Which is why it has a post all to itself. I was going to call it “nut butter frosting” but it’s definitely a level above frosting due to the butter component, making it more like butter cream frosting. And any nut butter will work with this frosting. If you prefer almond …
5 Minute Tomato Sauce {quick & easy}
Keep this recipe in your back pocket because it’s easy and you never know when you might need a batch of tomato sauce in a matter of 5 minutes. The key ingredient is a jar or can of crushed tomatoes, a dash of olive oil, and a few herbs. For folks who follow SCD, there …
Almond & Coconut Flour Pancakes
Way back when I first whipped up a batch of pancakes using coconut flour, they seemed pretty fluffy to me. I was grateful for something close to what I wanted. That was then. The trick to getting thick and fluffy pancakes is to add something acidic, like yogurt, to react with the baking soda. The reaction …
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 …
