Twice-Baked Potatoes with Goat Cheese I’m not re-inventing the wheel here by making twice-baked potatoes. I just wanted to keep track of this particular combo of ingredients because they turned out really well. Instead of milk or sour cream, I wanted to use my new favorite ingredient – Trader Joe’s goat’s milk creamy cheese. We had some nitrate-free, hormone-free, antibiotic-free thick cut bacon in...

This chicken tortilla soup is made with roasted peppers, lots of garlic, and seasoned salt for deeper flavors. It is dairy-free and gluten-free. Ahhhh, chicken tortilla soup. Where do I begin? To use one of my dad’s favorite words – I am somewhat of a chicken tortilla soup “connoisseur”. I have probably ordered it at every Mexican restaurant or hotel that I’ve been to since...
This recipe for spicy chicken spaghetti is super easy to make and packs a nice kick of spice from the jalapeños! It is gluten-free, dairy-free and delicious.

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...
Healthified Sloppy Joes I used to love when my mom made Manwich Sloppy Joes from the can growing up! This is one of the first things, i.e comfort foods, that we really started to “healthify” in the early days of the journey toward better health. It is based on a Rachel Ray recipe but cleaned up a bit and cut in half. To clean and lean...
One of my favorite snacks (or small meals) lately has been this simple soup. It is so easy to make and is ready in about 15 minutes. We use premade gluten-free potstickers and whip up a simple Asian style broth to pour over the microwave steamed potstickers. Really satisfying! Ingredients We always have Feel Good Foods gluten-free potstickers stocked up in the freezer. I love...

Chicken and Dumplings I love chicken and dumplings. It is one of my all time favorite comfort foods. I know I’m not alone on this one. Those light fluffy pillowy dumplings and that creamy delicious broth. So...
For the Love of Soup I really love soup. Any time of the year, I will have soup on my mind. When it is cold, it is warming and nourishing. When it is hot, if you pick the right soup, it is light but filling and so tasty. You get so many nutrients and fiber, which are easy to digest. Some of my favorite Austin...
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!
