GF Spice Muffins

Spice Muffins

Naomi was my helper today to make (okay, create) these muffins. We all were in the mood for muffins, but I didn’t have any pureed vegetables, apple sauce, pear sauce, or bananas. I usually like to include one of those for moisture and flavor. So we rustled up some coconut milk instead. The batch turned [...]

Lemon Poppy Seed Cake

Update: I have remade this cake using sprouted spelt flour, coconut oil, and with Rapadura (evaporated cane juice) as the sweetener. Delicious! See: Spelt Lemon Cake. We haven’t enjoyed this delicious and very lemony cake since going gluten-free over a year ago. I miss it! It calls for whole wheat pastry flour. I am thinking [...]

GF Cracker Mix in a Jar — Make Ahead or Gift

When measuring out the ingredients to make a double-batch of Cheezy Gluten-Free Crackers, I fill a quart size jar with all the dry ingredients for another double-batch of crackers. I store it on the door of the freezer. It is ready for me to use sometime during the coming week. I just transfer the contents [...]

Stir-Fried Green Beans

I have to thank my friend Cheryl for inspiring some yummy food for tonight’s dinner. We got a big bag of local, naturally-grown-although-not-certified-organic green beans at the Farmer’s Market yesterday. I was going to make Loubieh (Arabic Green Bean Stew) out of them. But her simple recipe sounded so good and so simple, so I [...]

Leftover Corn Skillet

Leftover Corn Skillet

Leftover steamed corn on the cob? Here’s a super easy and fabulously delicious side dish. Heat a cast iron skilet over medium heat with a few tablespoons of oil (your choice: olive, grapeseed, coconut, red palm, butter). While the pan and oil are heating, cut all the kernels off the ears of corn. Transfer the [...]

Chicken, Rice & Bean Skillet

Chicken, Rice and Bean Skillet

This is one of my not-very-precise recipes, and it also happens to be very forgiving. I created it along the same lines as many of my hard-to-duplicate-exactly skillet dishes. It was delicious last night and I’m looking forward to having more for lunch today. 1 red onion, diced extra virgin olive oil 2 or 3 [...]

Non-Meat Breakfast Choices Offering Protein (GF, DF, EF)

As I heard yesterday from a commenter, breakfast can be a tricky meal. How does one get enough protein when eating gluten-free and egg-free and also when trying to avoid the monetary expense of purchasing sausage and/or turkey bacon each day? I will share our breakfast choices, in the hope that it will be a [...]

Four Grain Flatbread

Four Grain Dinner Cakes

gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free These are flatbreads similar to the Quinoa Dinner Cakes with Sweet Potato, only these don’t require sweet potato puree and they call for an additional flour — corn flour. We eat them as bread along with main dishes such as chicken, chicken salad, hummus, or wild salmon salad. Our favorite way to [...]
