Chocolate Zucchini Muffins | Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins These gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate zucchini muffins are so easy to make and really delicious.   The hubs definitely approved of these for breakfast.   There are lots of flavor and nutritional goodies packed into a chocolaty muffin! I love hiding veggies inside of a sweet treat.  We have a wonderful recipe for spiced zucchini muffins, sweet potato brownies and carrot cake muffins.   I also like using sorghum flour and oat flour in the recipe because they contain dietary fiber. Most people with Celiac disease or on a gluten-free diet miss a good source of dietary fiber, especially if they turn to processed foods. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, which are also really good sources of dietary...

Cauliflower, Leek and Potato Soup | Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free

Cauliflower, Leek and 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, red lentil and wild rice soup, and of course classic beef stew. But if I’m being honest, one of my favorite soups is Jean-Paul’s leek and potato soup from La Bonne Soupe.   I’ve never been to the bistro in New York, but I love the cookbook and make this soup often.   It is so rich and creamy and delicious! But in the spirit of eating healthier, I added cauliflower and adjusted the recipe to nix the cream, milk, and butter.   My...

Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies | Gluten-Free

Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies Who doesn’t love a chewy cranberry oatmeal cookie? Yum! Years ago, my husband’s step-mom made a “gluten-free” batch of cranberry oatmeal cookies for us and they were so good. Unfortunately, they made me really sick because we didn’t quite get the concept of cross-contamination or maybe one of the ingredients wasn’t gluten-free. She meant well and liked to entertain, but I would get sick almost every time we ate at their house. I’m very sensitive.  So we finally had a talk and explained why I couldn’t eat her stuff. Of course, after arguing with me and probably taking it personally – it ended. What else can you do? I need to take care of my body. And you can only be so...

gluten-free, dairy-free "beef" stroganoff

Gluten-free Dairy-free “Beef” Stroganoff

Gluten-free Dairy-free “Beef” Stroganoff One of my favorite dishes growing up was beef stroganoff.   I used to beg my mom to make if for dinner.  I think she used to make it with french onion soup mix and sour cream.  I’m not really sure. But I’ve tried to recreate a gluten-free dairy-free “beef” stroganoff making it a little healthier by using ground turkey instead of beef.   It is a very easy recipe and can all be combined and cooked in one pot.   I recreated the onion soup mix spices and use coconut milk or almond milk as a dairy free milk substitute.   Make sure all of your spices and ingredients are gluten-free, especially the cornstarch and beef bouillon.   I usually...
