The weather is continuing to get chilly and all I want is warm, comforting food. This time around I was really craving a lemon butter sauce. While the traditional way to make this kind of sauce often involves using real butter, heavy cream, cheese and possibly flour, I had to figure out a dairy, gluten […]

Easy Meatball Cauliflower- Green bean Stew
Another great gluten free, grain free dinner! I love this recipe, it is hearty, tasty and it isn’t very difficult to make.

I add green beans […]
The Untraditional Moussaka (Dairy-free)
Dairy-free. Healthy. Moussaka. Need I say more? This recipe was adapted from the wonderful cookbook Mediterranean Paleo Cooking by Caitlin Weeks, Chef Nabil Boumrar, and Diane Sanfilippo.

“KD” Pasta Sauce
This recipe was originally supposed to be a roasted red pepper sauce, but it happened that I only had 2 red bell peppers and 1 yellow. When it was time to blend it all together I couldn’t believe how orange it was! It immediately reminded me of Kraft Dinner- only with out all the processed […]
“Breaded” Turkey Strips
I have been hunting for a healthier store bought bread crumb mixture for quite some time now. But, I always went home empty handed. Gluten free is surely something you can find now.. but that doesn’t mean it is healthy, or that you don’t have to read the ingredients. Many are filled with ingredients like yeast, starch, […]
