Have I mentioned how much I love Fall? I’m sure I have, because I come from a family who is obsessed with the holidays. Most people are ready to skip on to the Winter holidays (or linger in the Summer sun), but I love this time of the year and wish it would last longer!… Read more »
The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook By Elana Amsterdam When I was first diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and told that I should stop eating gluten, I didn’t even know what gluten was! After a lot of research on the subject and countless hours scowering blogs and websites for new recipes, I ended up with about 100… Read more »
There’s nothing better to me than a crisp and fresh salad for dinner. Especially when the weather is warm and turning on an oven only adds the heat. I do the chicken on the grill to keep the heat outside, and usually boil my eggs in the morning to have a few extras in the… Read more »
I’ve been reading a lot about the benefits of soaking and dehydrating nuts prior to eating them, so I thought I would try it for the first time for my trail mix. I purchased all of my raw nuts and seeds at Whole Foods in the bulk section. It is much cheaper than buying a… Read more »
This soup was inspired by a copy cat recipe of Olive Garden’s Pasta e Fagioli soup that a friend passed along to me. Her soup was delicious, but not SCD legal and also had a lot of ingredients that I can’t eat right now (see my Facebook Post). I substituted ground turkey and chicken broth… Read more »
I have two vices: ice cream and french fries. When I first went on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, I thought I’d never be able to enjoy ice cream again. Then I found Coconut Bliss ice cream at Whole Foods and realized that coconut milk ice cream is even better than the dairy version! This recipe… Read more »
The produce available right now is so mouth-watering! All of the gorgeous squashes, pears, and apples are so inspiring and make me want to buy them without even having a purpose for them. One of my favorites are the succulent heirloom tomatoes, in all of their vibrant colors. This dish features these gems, along with… Read more »
The first day of Autumn is quickly approaching and it’s still 95 degrees where we live! I decided I’m going to go ahead and ignore the weather and pretend that it is Fall here. Although I don’t think I’ll last long outside in a trench and over-the-knee boots, I can at least make my home… Read more »
My husband and I went to Mammoth Lakes for a wedding for the weekend and left our little guy for the first time! SO grateful to have our parents nearby and so willing to hang with him. We had a great time, but came back to a very sick little boy. Darn colds. We’re homebound… Read more »
This is dish is deceiving! At first site and bite, you’ll think you’re eating something that is undoubtedly filled with calories and fat. However, using olive oil instead of butter and mushrooms to give it a meaty filling, each serving is only about 130 calories and is delicious!
One of my favorite salads is my spinach mango salad, but since I was out of spinach and mango, I decided to come up with something else inspired by it. It turned out pretty good if you ask my husband and me! Any citrus will work for the dressing and marinade, but you definitely don’t… Read more »
I often associate cooking lamb with special occasions, but this recipe is actually very budget (and time!) friendly. The whole meal cost me about $30 at Whole Foods, and took about 30 minutes to prepare. Not bad at all! To ensure you get tender slices of meat, have the butcher trim all of the fat… Read more »
*Update: I used to use a non-stick pan or a non-stick griddle for these gluten free tortillas. It is definitely the easiest way to make them, but in an effort to reduce the use of toxic metals that leach into the food while cooking, we have ditched all teflon in our house. I found this… Read more »
Snacking on SCD is somewhat difficult, and the nuts and dried fruit tend to get old after a while. However, if you combine the nuts with the dried fruit, and throw in some coffee grounds and raw coconut, you get a delicious and SCD friendly snack that is easy to eat on the go. Because… Read more »
Update: Please see my updated Grain-Free Lasagna recipe here! What was once therapeutic and relaxing for me, has now become chaotic and stressful! My son is crawling everywhere, gets bored of an activity after 5 minutes, and loves to climb the stairs. Needless to say, cooking is not as easy as it used to… Read more »
