A Classic Comfort Food There are some classic comfort foods that really hit the spot! Chicken and dumplings, pot roast, pasta carbonara, classic beef stew, and pasta with herbed meatballs and red sauce. Chicken noodle casserole is for sure one of them. I’ve been using this simple recipe from Betty Crocker for years, but thought I would share how to make it a little easier,...
gluten-free pasta One of our favorite dishes during the comfort food years before I had to nix gluten was pasta Carbonara. It is so decadent and creamy and wonderful. But it wasn’t that easy to make gluten-free pasta Carbonara. The main problem was finding the right type of gluten-free pasta to use in the recipe. So many of the brown rice pastas just turn out...

Bison Enchilada Soup So the cold weather and my ridiculous allergies this time of year (cedar and mold) are really making me crave soup. I’ve got homemade Ranch Style Beans and organic tomato sauce in...
Turkey and Veggie Chili I found this healthy, naturally gluten-free and casein-free terrific turkey and veggie chili recipe years ago on Allrecipes.com. I like to use lean meat like turkey with less fat than ground beef. Instead of ground turkey you could always use organic ground chicken or bison instead. This turkey and veggie chili is a staple in our dinner rotation and has...
Cauliflower Leek Potato Soup is made with chicken stock and coconut milk for a delicious, creamy, gluten-free, casein-free version of a classic soup. Cauliflower Leek Potato Soup I love soup! And we eat soup often around here. At least once a week, I’ll make up a big batch of soup and freeze some of it for lunches. I especially love chicken tortilla soup and of...
pizza pizza When you have to eat gluten-free food, the one thing that is really hard to find is a good pizza crust. Some are decent but not really the same as normal pizza. We really like the Schär pre-made pizza crust we used for Bison Philly Cheesesteak and Pepperoni Pizzas. They held up pretty good and were better than some of the other gluten-free...
Gluten-Free Bison Mushroom Burgers with Crispy Fried Shallots Today’s recipe is for a quick and easy, gluten-free, dairy-free bison mushroom burgers and crispy fried shallots served on Schär ciabatta bread. I love using leaner ground bison instead of ground beef. In particular, we really love this Great Range ground bison. We’ve been making a lot of recipes with it over the years. A particularly popular...
Biscuits, Breakfast Sausage & Gravy Who doesn’t love biscuits, sausage and gravy? We certainly love this comfort food around here! But how do we make it gluten-free and a little healthier? This one was not easy. Especially the biscuits. So I’ve tried to make gluten-free biscuits many times. When you use cold butter and buttermilk – they come out fantastic. But not so much when...
We grilled the gluten-free Beyond Meat plant-based burger patties and served them on Schär gluten-free hamburger buns and were totally impressed by both! The Beyond Burger So this isn’t a recipe or paid partnership – I just wanted to tell you how good these gluten-free meatless grilled burgers are! We are trying to eat less meat in general. And we plan a Meatless Monday dinner...
Goat Cheese & Gluten-Free Casseroles I used to love a good old Betty Crocker casserole for sure! And I’ve been on a casserole kick lately. We made baked penne with bison. And chicken noodle casserole. And thought wouldn’t it be fun to take some other classics and adapt them to my dietary restrictions now that I can eat goat cheese. One of...
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!
