So, gluten-free, dairy-free Twix… where do I begin? This is a great reincarnation of an irresistible candy bar that some of my gluten-free/dairy-free friends may pine for post-dietary restrictions. These were fun to make and use only six ingredients. I was drawn in by photos on Pinterest that turned out much better than mine. Enticing. Here’s […]

Homemade Tater Tots
Best tater tots I’ve ever had. Takes some effort, but well worth it. And supposedly they freeze well, so if you make a bunch, you’re set. Here is the fantastic, amazing recipe from Damn Delicious: Homemade Tater Tots. I used 3 pounds of potatoes instead of the 2 the recipe called for and cooked them […]
Spaghetti Squash Two Ways: With Meat Sauce or Pesto
Spaghetti Squash is a big staple in our household as a noodle substitute and all around delicious substance. It has the texture of all dente pasta with a slightly sweet flavor. I make it at least every two weeks if not more often. It’s great because the squash tend to be big and that leads […]
Gluten-Free Chicken Parmesan with Quick Homemade Tomato Sauce
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 […]
Burgers with Sauteed Onions, Goat Cheese and Avocado
Great gluten-free, lower-carb entree with no bun, or you can add a bun if you like. Not exactly picturesque, but I started out with some 85-15 grass-fed ground beef. Seasoned it with a bit of Tamari soy sauce (gluten-free) and Lawry’s seasoned salt. Grill to desired doneness. Also sautéed some onions in olive oil. When everything […]
Red Chile and Egg Breakfast Bowls
Red chile that’s just hot enough, tangy goat cheese, creamy avocados, runny poached eggs and lentils for protein… what more could you want in a breakfast? Added bonus, it’s lower carb and low sugar. So, making the red chile sauce homemade in bulk is a family tradition in the fall when the red chile is ready […]
Coconut Crusted Chicken Tenders
Found the recipe here: Paleo Coconut Crusted Chicken. Next time I’ll try making the avocado sauce. This time, stuck with fresh avocados, basil and lime. Good enough for a week night! I didn’t change the recipe at all otherwise. Using coconut flour and dried coconut bits as breading, browned in coconut oil, was a new […]
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 […]
