Being gluten free does not mean a life of suffering for your children, it means a life of eating yummy dishes like this one. I think this is the perfect dish to take to a pot luck. Attending potlucks can bring tears to the eyes of children who can't eat ...

I thought I knew how to roast chicken, then I tried Julia Child's roast chicken; suddenly a plain meal became spectacular, and all it cost me was a few more table spoons of butter. Here are the basics from Mastering the French Art of Cooking.

This makes a satisfying tummy warming supper. If you are insulin dependent and counting carbs, I am not sure what to tell you about the carb count. I have looked up red lentils in several reputable sources and they all disagree by a wide margin. For my daughter, we assume ...

I don't really like boneless skinless chicken breast, and I don't enjoy putting meat on sticks, and then keeping the sticks from catching on fire, and then picking splinters out of my meat. I do like chicken wings, oh! do like them. So, why not make satay chicken wings, ...

I just whipped this up to go with home made Satay Wings and must admit to being pretty smug about it. In fact, I sampled it enough that now I look like a cat with peanut butter in her whiskers; I just keep on lickin' my lips and finding ...

Ingredients:
1 batch of meat ball mix
Pizza sauce
Cheese and toppings of your choice. I love Trader Joe's ...

I make great chili, if I must say so myself. You can adjust the strength of the seasoning to your own taste. Personally, I use a whole batch of my chili powder recipe(categorized under sauces, dressings, etc.) to make one big batch of chili.
Ingredients:
4 lbs ground ...

The combination of cumin and fennel in this soup create a mild flavor that leaves you wondering just what that flavor is, in a good way. The soup makes a good first course but can stand on it's own just fine for lunch.
Ingredients:
4 T butter
3 cups ...

Ingredients:
2-3 cups home-made chicken stock, strained
1 can coconut milk
3T coconut oil
3 T ...

This is very basic. The use of lots of oil makes the chicken taste much better than chicken breast normally does. We like this at lunch time, and it fills the kids for the afternoon.
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
milk for dipping
a flour mixture of 1/2 coconut flour and half ...

Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast
1/2 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup olive oil
2 T honey
2 cloves garlic
1 cup coconut flour
1 cup almond ...

Why would we need a gluten free meatball recipe? Have you ever tried meatballs without some sort of bread or flour added? They're hard and unappetizing. I use coconut flour in meatballs and the result is great; tender, juicy and delicious. You don't taste coconut at all, just meatball. You ...

Red lentils are tolerated well by many people. They have had their husks removed, and once they have been soaked, don't cause any problems, even for my most sensitive stomachs.
Ingredients:
3-4 T oil, preferably coconut oil or ghee
2 tsp black mustard seeds
1 1/2 cups red lentils, soaked over night
2 T minced ...

3 cloves crushed garlic
4 eggs
1/4 cup coconut flour

This is one way to use up leftover chicken or pork, if you have it. Or, start with fresh ground beef. I like to plan this as a sister menu when we have pork roast for dinner one night. The only difference, is that when cooking the pork, add some ...

It's been a few years since we have had wheat pizza in the house, so what would we know? But, the family likes this. Sometimes with wheat "alternatives", the healthy approach mentally is to not think of them as substitutes, but as whole new foods all unto themselves. ...

Ok, I love pork! These ribs are sweet and spicy. I recommend buying pork spare ribs; hands down, they are much more satisfying than babybacks, and less than half the price. Spare ribs are also much meatier. For 10 bucks I can by enough spare ...

This is the yummiest Pork recipe and the easiest. You can't go wrong! Do enjoy the pleasures of eating luscious pork cuts like shoulder and Boston butt, they are so much tastier than leaner cuts. A tied roast looks prettier than an untied one, but they both taste ...
