This recipe is a gluten-free, cow’s milk-free adaptation of my husband and son’s favorite muffins, Matt’s Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Muffins. Changing the recipe involved using almond milk instead of cow’s milk, goat milk yogurt instead of cow’s milk, gluten-free flours, and gluten-free, dairy-free chocolate chips. For a banana version of this recipe, see Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate […]

Bacon, Kale, Goat Cheese Frittaffles
My first attempt at Frittaffles left me frustrated with a crumbling pile of half scorched frittata littering the waffle iron. You can see what went wrong here: Bacon Spinach Goat Cheese Frittaffles. There is no way I was going to let the frittaffles win. So I’m back with a successful second attempt. Using an oven-safe non-stick pan […]
Gluten Free Individual Meatloaves
This meal is a gluten-free adaptation of this Cooking Light recipe: Mini Meat Loaves. All it takes is substituting gluten-free bread crumbs for the regular ones. The recipe is already dairy-free. I like using 85/15 ground beef for this recipe and serving with roasted root vegetables and salad as seen here. We enjoyed this in front […]
Banana Cafe Inspired Tuna Salad
Last year we celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in Key West. Banana Cafe on Duval Street quickly became a favorite for us and we ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner there multiple times. French food with a subtle Key West twist, everything we tried was fresh and thoughtfully prepared. Danny, the owner, could not have been friendlier […]
Five-Minute High Protein, Low Sugar Breakfast
A few years ago I got into a modified version of Tim Ferriss’s Four Hour Body “Slow Carb” diet. The “Slow Carb” diet is based on getting rid of white carbohydrates like bread, rice, potatoes and sugar. While there are a lot of things in Ferriss’s book that I didn’t try, such as supplements, one of the most valuable […]
Guacamole Deviled Eggs
These guacamole eggs are lighter and fresher than traditional deviled eggs, with a nice shot of lime. Great for a warm weather snack with a margarita or some Sauvignon Blanc. If you’re going for low carb, these fit the bill — guac without the chips. A filling and satisfying appetizer, or could be a small meal. […]
Blueberry Banana Flax Pancakes
This is a great way to sneak some fiber into kid-friendly food. I used our ever-reliable Gluten Free Banana Pancakes as a base, using almond milk to make the recipe dairy-free. In this variation, I substituted 1/4 cup flax meal for 1/4 cup of the rice flour called for in the original recipe. This is a […]
Coconut Flour Carrot Cake with Goat Cheese Frosting
Food and Wine did well with this recipe: Coconut Flour Carrot Cake. I made this cake at Easter to provide a satisfying dessert that would work for adults and kids with gluten and dairy restrictions. It’s hard to tell a kid they can’t have the usual Easter chocolate, cupcakes, etc. without offering an enticing alternative. This was a hit, […]
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Chicken Piccata
With white wine, garlic, and capers, I think the pan sauce is what makes lemony chicken piccata so flavorful. Fortunately, it’s easy to make this dish both gluten-free and dairy-free while retaining the great taste of the original dish. Here’s the recipe I’ve adapted from years of just making this to making it with no wheat […]
Bacon Spinach Goat Cheese Frittaffles
If your frittaffles stick and fall apart like mine did, you can stack them into an impressive tower like this. Here’s what they’re supposed to look like. Frittata + Waffle = Frittaffle. The concept is intriguing, the ingredients enticing, but… but. So many ways things can go wrong. This was one of the most frustrating recipes […]
