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...
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...
Trying Something New I was sent a few types of products from D’Vash Organics to try. They sent me a date nectar, date syrup, sweet potato nectar, and this cayenne date nectar. It is gluten-free, vegan, paleo, organic and non-GMO. The only thing that they asked in return was an Instagram story share. Which I did. But I really liked these products so I wanted...

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...
King Ranch Chicken Casserole This recipe from 2016 (our dairy-free phase) has been updated and I’ve added new pictures. If you can handle goat milk you could easily swap out the vegan cheese for a goat milk pepper jack cheese and/ or use goat butter instead of ghee. And although I haven’t tried it in this particular recipe, you could also replace the sour cream...
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...
