The Gluten-Free Pizza Basics Zeia Pizza Crust One of the things I love about following gluten-free friends on Instagram, is that word spreads when new gluten-free products appear or if someone honestly shares that they really liked something. That is how we found this pizza crust. So it is not sponsored, I’m just glad to share. Zeia gluten-free pizza crusts are gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, dairy-free...
These delicious healthy gluten-free and dairy-free apricot raspberry muffins are made with coconut sugar, olive oil, sweet white sorghum and millet flour. Sorghum Millet Muffins I love baking muffins with sorghum and millet flours. The combo made wonderful spiced zucchini muffins and banana muffins that were gluten and dairy free! This time we are changing out the fruit and trying it with raspberries and apricots...
Summer Pasta Salad This summer pasta salad reminds me of my mom and summer and neighborhood block parties growing up. It was her go-to signature potluck dish because it was so easy to make. And quite honestly, I think it came off the back of a bottle of Kraft Italian salad dressing. Just cooked pasta, avocado, sliced pepperoni and classic Italian dressing. That’s it! My...
Why Imperfect Foods? We got our first delivery from Imperfect Foods this week and I’m excited to see how this goes. I created a gluten-free menu plan based on what was in our delivery box so we could try and prevent anything getting thrown away. There were several reasons we decided to try this delivery service. They deliver “ugly” or imperfect foods to your door...
Roasted Sweet & Spicy Cabbage This roasted sweet & spicy cabbage has quickly turned into one of our favorite side dishes! And it is so easy to make you don’t even need a recipe. Basically, it is just organic cabbage tossed in ghee and your favorite hot sauce, roasted, then drizzled with maple syrup. We like to use a local brand of hot sauce...
Importance of a Diet High in Fiber I wanted to put together a weekly menu high in dietary fiber that is also gluten-free. But still using our favorite comfort food recipes. Just made a little healthier and cleaner. First, I want to sum up some of the research and information I’ve been studying while reading The Good Gut by the Drs. Sonnenburg. They are...
Ever since we found goat butter and cheese, I’ve been able to make some old favorite recipes that I had to give up when I stopped eating dairy for a few years. I have been loving these scalloped potatoes! We usually buy organic potatoes and they tend to start growing pretty quickly. So we usually slice up the potatoes with a mandolin and parboil them....
Homemade Greek Moussaka Recipe Greek moussaka was not something I ever thought to make at home. Until I went to the Austin Food Blogger Alliance Christmas party hosted by MezzeMe Turkish Kitchen. One of the seasonal dishes they offered us was an individual Greek moussaka. But I couldn’t try it because it is made with a béchamel sauce using flour that isn’t gluten-free. Plus the...
Great Option for Home Delivery Well we are hitting the one month mark since we have been staying at home. And it has been reassuring to see so many options now available for produce home delivery here in Austin. We found one nearby called Farm to Table that offers two options. They offer an Omnivore’s Delight box with five pound of ground Wagyu beef, an...
Restaurant Style Tex-Mex Rice I love Tex-Mex (a fusion of American and Mexican cuisine). It is hard to grow up in Texas and not love it. And we have a lot of incredible Tex-Mex restaurants here in Austin that we frequent on the regular. I mean what is not to love about enchiladas, tacos, chips and queso, guacamole, salsas, beans and rice. And there...
This blog is about cooking real food from unprocessed ingredients to make simple and naturally gluten-free meals and mostly casein-free/dairy-free (except for a little aged Parmesan and goat milk). We try to "healthify” and clean up our favorite comfort foods using organic fresh veggies, lean proteins, healthy grains and lots of spice!
