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 …
Crustless Mini Quiches
Want a really quick & easy, high protein breakfast or snack? These simple crust-free quiches are easy to bake and serve, or grab on the go. Store them in the refrigerator for a few days, or serve them fresh out of the oven. Feel free to substitute another source of protein for the turkey bacon. You …
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 …
Avocado Kale Salad {lemon honey dressing}
Avocado and kale go great together. Avocado is a great source of healthy fat and kale is loaded with vitamins (A, B, C, and K) as well as a good dose of manganese, fiber, and protein. Kale is a bit tougher and more fibrous, as green leaves go, so using your hands to tear it …
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 …
Parmesan Cauliflower Tots
Cauliflower is great as a low-carb substitute, especially with potato-inspired recipes. These Parmesan cauliflower tots make for a great low-carb snack or side dish. This recipe, like many of my recipes, falls under a variety of low-carb lifestyles, including Keto, SCD, and Paleo. It’s not a coincidence that they overlap—this is a common focus these …
Matzo Ball Soup {grain-free, nut-free}
Here’s a nut-free, grain-free, gluten-free (and on and on free!) version of matzo ball soup. It’s fairly simple and easy to make, given that it’s made up of chicken broth, herbs, and matzo balls. And it’s easy to make it vegetarian—just swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth and the butter for oil. Matzo …
Almond Toffee Brownies {flourless}
One of the things I love about creating recipes is all the additions and changes that readers suggest. I feel equally happy about recipe testing and happy accidents. When a reader, Bhavna, told me about adding a cup of coffee to my blondies recipe, I immediately thought I need to try that! I only had …
