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 …
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 …
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 …
Fluffy Pancakes {almond & coconut flour}
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. Now I present to you truly fluffy pancakes using almond and coconut flour. The trick to getting thick and fluffy pancakes is to …
Roasted Chile Cauliflower Bites
I’m all over ancho chile peppers. I purchase them dry, toast them, and then grind them up into a powder to sprinkle on all kinds of things. I order them here, but I imagine you can buy them in a spice store, specialty market, or elsewhere online. You can also buy the powder — I just like …
Horseradish Sauce
My first taste of horseradish was as a kid during a Passover seder. The horseradish is symbolic of the bitterness of slavory the Jewish people endured in Egypt. Every seder I spoon a healthy serving of horseradish on a piece of Matzo and engulf it. If you’ve ever sat through a Passover seder you will understand the ravenous state that ensues, …
Mustard Herb Roasted Chicken
Mustard herb roasted chicken pieces make for tender meat, with a crispy outer edge. I’ve always believed that mustard and chicken belong together. What other ingredients join the party depends on my mood and what I have on hand. And honey and mustard also belong together, but only sometimes with chicken. Anyway, I don’t want to …
Chicken Shawarma with Jeweled Cauliflower Rice
Here’s a complete dish that’s great to prepare any time of year: Chicken Shawarma and roasted cauliflower rice with parsley, dried apricots and cranberries. I can eat a huge bowl of the jeweled cauliflower rice with a generous serving of lemon yogurt on top and a tall glass of sparkling water, and I’m good. The chicken …
Strawberry Yogurt Bowl
There is something to be said for starting the day with a bowl of yogurt. It has a smooth, creamy texture, making it easy on the waking digestive system. And I like the shot of probiotics. Usually I combine the yogurt with fresh fruit, and if the fruit is tart I add a drizzle of …
Yellow Cauliflower Rice, Dal, Chutney, and Raita
1/4 This is a collection of recipes that was slated for my cookbook, Cooking for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, but due to size restraints most of it had to be cut. The only part that is in the book is the yellow cauliflower rice. I’m sharing this list of group of recipes as inspiration for a meal …
Grilled Peaches with Yogurt and Honey
I’ve been absorbed in summer weather, writing, photography, and recipe formulation. And this past weekend we took a brief sojourn to a beautiful California beach on Coronado Island (and one of us took in a bit of Comic-Con). It was very much needed. But now I’m back, and we’re grilling. Stone fruits are in season, so I’m taking …
Firecracker Pops
Once again, Seattle is cool and somewhat damp this weekend, while just about everywhere else in the U.S. folks are sweltering in humidity, heat, and triple-digit tempeatures. In some parts of the U.S. there are power outages due storms. I hope it gets better soon for everyone, and that when you read this you are safe, along …
