After seeing delicious roasted whole cauliflowers all over the internet, I finally decided to try it. This is an amazingly easy, satisfying side dish or vegetarian main. The outside of the cauliflower forms a savory browned crust of tangy mustard and garlic, roasted at high heat. The inside is tender and tasty. I based my […]

Blueberry Baked Oatmeal
This is the second recipe I’ve tried for Blueberry Baked Oatmeal. There was nothing wrong with the first one, but this one was amazing: Blueberry Baked Oatmeal. The recipe gives you options and I went with the one that was both gluten-free and dairy-free. Great recipe. You get crispy edges, tender middle, not TOO sweet, […]
Fresh Basil Pesto
This is an adaptation of a Barefoot Contessa recipe — she is just the best. Here’s the original recipe: Ina Garten’s Easy Basic Pesto. My changes were to use hard goat cheese (Cablanca) in lieu of parmesan and to use all walnuts, no pine nuts. You would think there would be pine nuts when you […]
Slow Cooker Green Chile Chicken
This is a quick meal to prepare in a slow-cooker, great over rice or in tortillas. I sprinkled a little goat feta on top, but on its own it is both dairy-free and gluten-free. The recipe is below. There’s a lot of wiggle room on ingredients and quantity if you have preferences of what you want […]
Homemade Hummus
I modified this recipe from the back of the tahini container. Seriously some of the best hummus I’ve had. Tahini (pureed toasted sesame seeds) makes it extra nutty and creamy, and lemon and lime juice give it a summery freshness. Well worth it to make a batch fresh, and it only takes a few minutes. […]
Peach Crisp
Nothing better than ripe, fresh peaches in season. Some of the ones in this recipe came right off the tree in my parents’ backyard. This fast, easy recipe is perfect for making a simple, very homemade tasting dessert on a summer night: Paleo Peach Crisp. It is dairy-free and gluten-free. I made a couple changes […]
Avocado Lemon Mayo
I found this super fast and easy recipe here: Healthy Avocado Mayo. I followed the recipe exactly, except to use regular olive oil instead of light. This is an amazing dipping sauce for Zucchini and Summer Squash Fritters.
Zucchini and Summer Squash Fritters
I used this recipe, Paleo Zucchini Fritters, as a template, but made a few changes: Doubled the recipe (this made 12 fritters) Used both zucchini and yellow summer squash Added onion Added arrowroot Made thinner, flatter fritters for more even cooking. Here’s the adapted recipe: 2 medium zucchini, shredded (about 5 cups) 2 medium summer squash, […]
Grain-Free Carrot Pecan Muffins
This is an adaptation of this great gluten-free/dairy-free blueberry muffin recipe: Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins. Using almond flour rather than any grains and lots of eggs gives these a custardy texture, but with enough firmness to hold together. I’m becoming a big fan of grain-free baked goods without too much added sweetener. These use a little […]
Paleo Tortillas and Chicken Soft Tacos
I was so happy to find this Simple Paleo Tortillas recipe. I doubled it and it worked like a charm. They are really most like crepes, and stood up to all the filling I stuffed in, as you’ll see in a photo below. It’s great to have a grain-free alternative to most of the tortillas […]
