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 …
Egg Salad

Roasted Asparagus
Roasting asparagus is quick and easy, concentrates the flavors, and makes the bite tender. I go basic, with oil and salt, but feel free to use alternatives like lemon and oil and maybe a pinch of pepper. I use a high heat to roast but you can probably lower the heat a bit and roast …
Ricotta Cheese {dairy free}
I love this quick and easy recipe for ricotta cheese for it’s simplicity, texture, and flavor. Besides using it in dishes that call for ricotta cheese, I spread it on crackers, bread, and use it in place of cheese in just about everything. It makes it so easy for me to be dairy free. I …
Pumpkin Muffins {low carb}
This is an updated version of my pumpkin muffin recipe from my cookbook, Everyday Keto Baking. This recipe is based on my original pumpkin muffin recipe that uses maple syrup or honey as a sweetener, so to make this low carb I replaced the sweetener with a low-carb sweetener and adjusted a few ingredients to …
Immune Juice Boost
Are you looking for a tasty way to give your body a boost? Do you own a juicer? Here’s my current favorite immune-boosting juice. After being seriously run down last fall I consulted a doctor to find ways to strengthen my immune system. She had a very simple list for me: take zinc and a lot …
Bagels {grain free}
I’m so excited to share this recipe for grain-free, gluten-free, SCD bagels using almond flour! I’ve played around quite a bit with almond flour, cashew flour, and coconut flour, and making a bagel with them is an interesting endeavor. While not chewy like bagels made with all purpose flour, there are a few things I …
