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 ...

One of the things I miss right now is greasy Asian food. I love Asian noodles dishes and so do my kids. My son inhaled this at lunch time. Personally, I didn't miss the noodles at all, since the sauce had so much flavor and the peanut butter made the ...

These grain free cookies are a snap to make and all natural. If you need to count the carbs, each cookie has under 10 grams a piece, if you make 24 cookies. The fiber content is high, so the cookies don't cause blood sugar spikes, making them a perfect snack ...

These low sugar, gluten free brownies put any "diet" dessert to shame. One of the unique things about baking with coconut flour is how low carb it is. Because the flour contributes almost no carbs you can afford to use some real sugar. My taste buds are like drug ...

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 ...

I use this for dipping veggies or chips, as a salad all by itself or along side Indian inspired dishes. If you use dripped yogurt, make sure to drip it till it is really rich. If you live near a Trader Joes, the Mediterranean cheese style yogurt is perfect.
Ingredients:
2 cups ...

1 1/2 cups red lentils, soaked over night
2 T minced ...

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 ...

Some days you need a breakfast that sticks with you for hours. (I need one like that everyday.) If you are no longer eating convenience foods, snacking becomes less desirable, logistically. So, why not try what our farming brethren do; eat hearty at meals, forego snack time. These will do ...

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. ...

Many people think they don't like squash, until they try mine. The secret? Cook it until it's really done. The skin should blacken in places. When testing for doneness the skinny part should pierce with no resistance. The bulbous part cooks way faster because it ...
