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. 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
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
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 …
Raspberry Beet Ice Cream {dairy-free}
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 {almond flour}
You’re going to want to make room in your freezer for ice box 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 …
Roasted Radishes
I highly recommend roasting radishes and then dipping them in a creamy ranch dressing, ketchup, or your favorite salad dressing. Even if you’re not a fan of raw radishes, you may be surprised at how different they taste when they’re roasted. They taste very much like small roasted potatoes. Radishes are a root vegetable that …
Banana Bread Cake
I stumbled upon a beautiful creation posted on an SCD Facebook page last week. It’s a banana bread birthday cake made by the one and only Sarah Miller. Sarah used my banana bread recipe using coconut flour as a birthday cake, and graciously agreed to share her photo and instructions. Thank you, Sarah! I’m a …
Chili Cheese Muffins
Sometimes you just want a warm bowl of chili, or something savory, with all your favorite toppings. And what’s even better? Adding a savory muffin like this chili cheese muffin makes it a meal. This savory muffin goes great with a hot bowl of anything really: soup, chili, or even with some warm marinara sauce. But …
