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 […]
Citrus Salad with Prosecco
Found this fabulous recipe in the New York Times: Citrus Salad with Prosecco. Left out the prosecco because there were kids involved, and added some blueberries, but otherwise stayed true to this simple, refreshing recipe. Enjoy!
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Oatmeal Raisin Muffins
These tasty little muffins make a great breakfast to go. I put them in muffin cups, something I don’t usually do, because the batter was very sticky. Here’s the recipe: Gluten Free Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins. Although I think the recipe would be great as-is, I made a couple of changes, foremost, substituting vegetable […]
Dill Pickle Deviled Eggs
I love pickles and anything seasoned with dill. When I saw that some deviled egg recipes called for vinegar and some for fresh dill, it gave me the idea to use pickle juice instead of vinegar and add some minced pickles to the filling. We enjoyed these — the dill taste is not overly strong, […]
Poached Eggs with Lentils and Kale
I’m a big fan of savory, protein-filled breakfasts. Although this would work for any meal. This recipe is all about saving time in the morning and all week. Learning to poach eggs in the microwave was a big revelation for me. I followed the directions here and it worked great (you may need to adjust cooking […]
Bloody Mary Green Bean Salad
Pickled Okra? Bloody Mary Mix? What more could you ask for in a salad? This fresh, acidic salad makes an amazing match for BBQ, pork butt, brisket, anything smoky with BBQ sauce. The dressing is a little spicy, a little tangy, just like a Bloody Mary. I first had this dish at a family dinner over the […]
Fluffy Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Waffles
There are tons of gluten-free waffle recipes out there to try. This one comes from the website of Bob’s Red Mill, vendor of many gluten-free flour products: Fluffy Gluten Free Waffles. My only adaptation to the recipe was to use unsweetened almond milk instead of cow’s milk to make these dairy free. That tweak didn’t seem […]
