Fast, easy comfort food. This is a family favorite. Substituting gluten-free breadcrumbs makes it possible to adapt just about any chicken parm recipe. Served with gluten-free pasta, of course. I also used goat cheddar and pecorino Romano (sheep’s milk cheese) to avoid cow’s milk. Worked fine, but if you want something that melts into that creamy […]

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies
There are six ingredients. You will have peanut butter cookies in 15 minutes (that’s prep time AND baking time). What could go wrong? Basically, nothing. This recipe via PBS is just about foolproof. So fast, and so good: Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies. Great recipe, so I will just direct you to the link rather than […]
Cheesy Cauliflower “Mashed Potatoes” with Pesto
Easiest low-carb side or main ever. I really liked the flavor combination in this Cauliflower Crust White Pizza with Pesto but wanted a faster, easier dish with some of the same qualities. Lo and behold, I had: 10 oz. frozen cauliflower 2 tbsp. prepared pesto (dairy-free/gluten free) 1/2 cup freshly grated Manchego cheese, some reserved for […]
Gluten-Free Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins
This is a modified version of the Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins my family likes. All I did was replace the pumpkin with mashed banana, and reduce the spices to just cinnamon. Enjoy! 1 cup rice flour 1 1/4 cups all purpose gluten free baking mix 1/2 cup flax meal 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown […]
White Sweet Potato Fries
New Jersey White sweet potatoes are somewhat of a rarity, at least in my experience. I’ve found them in two stores, ever, so I buy them whenever I see them in stock. Why? They seem to be the perfect blend of white potato and sweet potato. They are a variety of sweet potato, but taste […]
Taco Sloppy Joes
Made these at the request of our 4-year-old. One of his current favorite foods is “spicy meat” — ground beef sautéed with onions and salsa. I find the “spicy meat” to be a very versatile thing to have around. I like it as a main/protein in lower carb meals with some vegetable sides… see below […]
Mustard and Herb Salmon
Used this Giada De Laurentiis recipe, Broiled Salmon with Herb Mustard Glaze, reduced from 6 servings to 2. Good recipe, fast and easy. Liked the sauce — I’m a huge fan of anything crusted in mustard, especially whole-grain for the crunch it provides. I didn’t make any major changes to this one except to reduce the […]
Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
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 […]
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, […]
