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 …

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 …

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 …

Strawberry Ripple Frozen Yogurt

June 8, 2020 by Erica 6 Comments

Comfy Belly: Strawberry Ripple FroYo

Here’s my rendition of strawberry ripple frozen yogurt. The addition of lemon and salt make this lip-smacking good. I usually prefer straight, sweet ice cream or frozen yogurt that tastes like ice cream exclusively, however this frozen yogurt tastes like strawberry ice cream. And is it me or does it seem like strawberries are available …

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 …

Egg Salad

May 3, 2020 by Erica 2 Comments

Egg Salad

Egg salad is another really good reason to keep a couple of boiled eggs in your refrigerator. You can have a quick breakfast or snack by eating a boiled egg, or you can create this egg salad for something a bit more flavorful and filling. It’s also easy to fill in a container with egg …

Roasted Asparagus

April 25, 2020 by Erica Leave a Comment

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 …

Pumpkin Muffins {low carb}

April 6, 2020 by Erica 16 Comments

Pumpkin Muffins {keto}

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 …

Bagels {grain free}

February 21, 2020 by Erica 20 Comments

Bagels

This bagel recipe is grain-free, gluten-free, 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 really love about this recipe: It …

Raspberry Beet Ice Cream {dairy-free}

February 13, 2020 by Erica 4 Comments

Raspberry Beet Ice Cream

Raspberry beet ice cream is a treat that is sweetened only by fruits you use to make it. You do want to plan ahead a bit by freezing the very ripe bananas, raspberries, and milk. Like my other banana-powered ice creams, this is most like ice cream when all the ingredients are fully frozen, but you …

Ice Box Cookies

You’re going to want to make room in your freezer for cocoa butter cookies. They use almond flour and cocoa butter, and are both buttery and crunchy when stored in the refrigerator or freezer. The bonus is that they’re quick and easy to make and ready any time! Cocoa butter is a solid at room …
