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 …
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 …
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 …
Eggs Benedict {grain-free}
Eggs benedict is probably one of the most decadent egg dishes around, and it’s easy to make grain-free using my English muffin recipe. It does require a bit of timing and orchestration of steps, but it’s so rewarding. And it doesn’t take that long to make. I’ve divided the recipe into numbered steps to make it …
Almond & Coconut Flour Pancakes
Way back when I first whipped up a batch of pancakes using coconut flour, they seemed pretty fluffy to me. I was grateful for something close to what I wanted. That was then. The trick to getting thick and fluffy pancakes is to add something acidic, like yogurt, to react with the baking soda. The reaction …
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 …
Thumbprint Cookies
This recipe is great to make with kids (or adults) because the dough needs to be rolled into a ball using your hands, and then you insert your thumb in the middle to flatten it and fill with jelly. Just imagine a Playdough session that results in tasty cookies. My favorite part is the jam. …
Cheesecake Brownies {coconut flour}
A few readers asked me for this recipe, and I am most happy to oblige. It might be a bit early for brownies in some parts of the world, but what the heck. And really, it’s always a good time for brownies. I don’t have much desire to cook or bake during the summer, so …
Blueberry “Corn” Muffins {almond & coconut flour}
With blueberries in abundance at the moment (in North America), I couldn’t resist overusing them in this simple cornbread muffin recipe, using both almond flour and coconut flour. I have a recipe for blueberry corn muffins, using corn flour. It’s not grain-free, but readers have asked me to keep it live, so I’ve left it …
Children’s Book Author Recaptures Health with No-Starch Diet

AS is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the spine, although other joints can be involved. It causes inflammation of the spinal joints (vertebrae) that can lead to severe, chronic pain and discomfort. …
Mexican Lasagna
There are so many great ways to make grain-free lasagna. Here’s one of my favorites from one of my cookbooks, The Healthy Coconut Flour Cookbook (page 149). There are a couple of techniques I use to make a gluten-free, grain-free lasagna: use vegetables as noodles, like zucchini or celeriac, bake all the ingredients minus the noodles and call …
