oh man, i hit the motherload today. i actually started imagining this as i was falling asleep last night and i am so so glad i remembered it upon waking this morning. i do not typically make fried onions before 11am but i had to make an exception indeed. (note: you will need a spiralizer…
beet fritters (with onion jam)
don’t even ask where this idea came from…i found beets at my local organic market and thought i needed to figure out a way to make them, besides borscht, which my grandmother adored. well everyone in my house adores potato pancakes so i wondered if there was a way to make beet “pancakes” without them…
sweet potato popovers
popovers are definitely part of a glutenous culture and sort of tricky to reproduce from their white flour, dairy butter based origins. these are pretty stinkin’ good with the a crispy outside and soft airy inside, with just a hint of sweet potato! ingredients: 4 free range eggs 1/4 cup avocado oil 1/2 large sweet…
grain free banana nut bread (with chocolate chips)
well, there is a first time for everything, and this was mine. to be quite honest, i am not even sure i’ve made banana bread before today. so this little experiment could have been inedible. no seriously, i’ve trashed food that not a single person in this house could choke down. lucky for us all,…
flax seed muffins
after having several requests for a muffin, and realizing i really didn’t have a go-to muffin recipe, i developed this little treasure. they are very reminiscent of a whole wheat muffin, oh the irony! bake them plain or add chopped nuts, dried fruit, chocolate chips! the possibilities are endless. ingredients: 1/4 cup flax seeds 1/4…
beloved brussel sprouts
brussel sprouts are kind of the forgotten veggie, i hate to admit. well, apparently i am going to have to do a better job at remembering, because the littles never even let me plate them before they started noshing off the baking sheet. ingredients: 1 bag brussel sprouts (this was how trader joe’s sold them)…
nutty kale chips
so there are these kale chips that i am obsessed with but are *gulp* over 5 bucks a bag. it’s ridiculous and i feel guilty each time i buy them. but they are good, and i mean goooooood. these are a fraction of the cost, satisfy the crunch, and are packed with the good stuff….
Oven Baked Buffalo Wings
Oven Baked Buffalo Wings Ain’t no thang but a chicken wang. We love our finger food and we’re not quitting wings any time soon. But if you’re gluten intolerant like I am, not just any wing will do! I made these to satisfy the craving and also the need to avoid ingredients that leave you…
bacon mushroom garnish
it’s really hard to say no to bacon, for any reason at all actually. crispy chopped bacon paired with sautéed mushrooms and onions make this a perfect topper for soups, salads, and grilled meats alike. ingredients: 1 package organic nitrate free bacon, cooked and crumbled 1 package white mushrooms cleaned and diced 1 onion of…
