Grain Free Sandwich Bread

Hello!  It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve been making a lot of the same things over and over and well, life gets in the way sometimes. But I wanted to share with you this bread recipe I’ve been making very often since last March.  It’s very easy and extremely tasty! This bread requires the use of a lot of eggs.  Thankfully, I’m at a point that I can tolerate...

Smoky Black Bean Dip

I love raw veggies and hummus and vegetable dips!  There is always something in the fridge to dip into. Now it’s time for a new twist! Introducing Smoky Black Bean Dip.  It’s just like hummus, only hummus is technically only made with chickpeas. This is really good with raw veggies and even tortilla chips.  Sometimes it comes out looking brown and sometimes it almost looks purple…which...

Mostly Vegetable Smoothie

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything.  I’ve just been making the same ole things over and over. But with the advent of spring, warmer temps, budding trees, I’ve felt the desire to start making new things in the kitchen again. So, with that, I give you this mostly vegetable smoothie. It’s a perfect way to “detox” from all the heavy winter foods. This is one of those recipes...

Creamy Tomato Soup – Gluten, Dairy, Egg and Soy Free

Oh those days of long ago!  Days when I would open a can of condensed tomato soup and crumble in an entire tube of Ritz crackers. Those long ago days are rarely missed anymore, but the memories linger as many memories are formed around food. Today’s recipe for tomato soup is not really reminiscent of those red and white cans of tomato soup. This is definitely a grown up version of tomato soup!...

Grain Free Gluten Free Coconut Flour Biscuits

I’m intrigued by Paleo baking. For those who don’t know…that is baking without any grains…even gluten free ones. A lot of Paleo recipes I see call for the use of eggs. Especially if one is using coconut flour. That usually requires the use of a lot of eggs. While I normally avoid eggs, I am at a point where I can eat them in a baked good on occasion. One thing I’ve been making with...

Chocolate Date Balls

Chocolate! Give me chocolate! Who doesn’t love a chocolate treat now and then? These raw chocolate date balls are the perfect way to enjoy chocolate. No added sugar! All sweetness comes from dates. Medjool dates work best because they are so, so naturally sweet and creamy! Regular dates work also! No matter what kind of date you purchase, they can be either hard to find or expensive. So I...

Grain Free Sandwich Rounds

I have been making these grain free sandwich rounds for quite some time now and figured it is high time I share the recipe! These are so easy and awesome tasting. In fact, they are actually kind of neutral tasting which is what makes them so fabulous! They go with anything! (Yes, they are yellow looking, but one bite and you'll forget all about the color!) I have made regular “turkey, lettuce...

Sugar Free, Dye Free, Naturally Flavored Refreshing Drink

All summer long I had been making iced herbal tea by the glassful. Almost every day. Then I decided I needed to make a whole pitcher’s worth. I’ve been sitting on this for some time now and it’s time to share it. It doesn’t need to be summer to enjoy a cold beverage! If you’ve been following me for a while, you probably know I like precision. Exact quantities in recipes make for...

Make Your Own Almond Butter

Making your own almond butter is as simple as 1-2-3! Seriously, this isn’t even a recipe. Throw some almonds in a food processor, turn it on, and in about 5 minutes you have almond butter. Smooth, creamy, and only one ingredient. No oils, no sweeteners, (none needed, really), good for you almond butter. I had been buying oven roasted almonds at Aldi assuming they were cheapest there. It turns...

Mylan, Disney, Grilling Marinade and 3 Dip Recipes

I have some exciting news to share! But first, let me tell you about Mylan and Disney. Well, everyone knows about Disney! Mickey Mouse, theme parks, you know. Mylan is a pharmaceutical company; creators of the Epi-Pen. Mylan and Disney have formed an alliance to make Disney parks and cruise ships just a little more allergy friendly. For those with life threatening food allergies, taking any sort...
