Pickled Carrots {quick & easy}
You’ll be amazed how easy it is to pickle carrots (or other veggies for that matter!), and how good they are. The play of sweet carrot and sour juice is a great combination, plus the added benefit of vitamin A, K, B6, and potassium. Pickling is a way to preserve food by letting it sit …
Lemon Blueberry Loaf {coconut flour}
I’ve got a thing for blueberries and lemons, and they definitely belong together in the form of a lemon blueberry loaf, using coconut flour. After playing around with lemon muffins and blueberries I decided to turn the recipe into a cake. This tastes very much like a lemon pound cake so if you prefer you …
Lemon Muffins {coconut flour}
I started with the intention of testing lemon juice in place of milk in my vanilla cupcake recipe, which turned into creating a recipe for lemon muffins. I kept adding more lemon juice until I discovered it’s great with about a 1/4 cup of lemon juice added to my somewhat standard coconut flour recipe ratio for …
Berry Yogurt Waffle Cones
Greek yogurt is like cheesecake to me: it’s tart, sweet, thick, and creamy. The bonus is that yogurt is rich in probiotics and healthy fat. Drizzle in some honey, add some preserves or fruit, freeze, and serve. Consume in a bowl or a waffle cone for a healthy version of, what I consider, cheesecake ice …
Sweet & Sour Meatballs {grain-free}
I’ve learned over the years to celebrate as much as possible. The little triumphs as well as the big ones. And I welcome the opportunity to learn and grow from the bumps, roadblocks, and crashes. It all makes life brighter and more fulfilling. Here’s a recipe to share with a crowd, bring to a party, …
Sandwich Rolls {almond flour}
I’m calling these sandwich rolls, but feel free to use them in any way you’d like. They make great buns and are equally good as toast and french toast. You probably already know what you’re going to do with them, however here are a few ideas that I’ve enjoyed so far… slicing them in half …
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 …
Raw Berry Cheesecake
I find raw cheesecake one of the easiest cake styles to make. There’s no baking, just soaking of raw cashews and some processing of nuts and in this case, berries. You will need a food processor or high-speed blender to get a creamy consistency. After that, layer all the ingredients in a spring-form pan or pie …
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 …
Baked Apples
Baking an apple is an exercise in patience (for me), given the long baking time. But it’s so worth the wait. My grandmother served baked apples for dessert when I was young. Nothing fancy. From my memory it was baked until it was completely soft. Since I don’t know how she prepared it, I’ve experimented …
