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 […]
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!
Cauliflower Pizza Crust Part Deux: White Pizza with Pesto
This time the crust went much better than when I made Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Homemade Sauce because I actually had the necessary supplies and followed the recipe. Funny how that works. This time the crust held together well enough to be picked up and had a great texture. Using parchment paper instead of oiled […]
Steak Salad with Pear Vinaigrette, Goat Cheese and Toasted Walnuts
The salad portion of this meal is inspired by this recipe: Arugula Pear Blue Cheese Salad. All I changed was the greens, the cheese, the fruit and the dressing. Ha. And of course, added steak. In this case, grass-fed rib-eyes, but you could certainly get away with a leaner cut of meat on this salad. First, […]
Spaghetti Squash Carbonara
This recipe makes a great dinner. Lighter than regular pasta carbonara, but flavorful and satisfying with the pancetta (I used prosciutto), cheese and egg. Spaghetti squash is a wonderful substitute for pasta in many Italian-style recipes. This can easily be made dairy free by omitting the cheese, or if like me, you need to avoid […]
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 […]
