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 […]
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 […]
Simple Slaw
When I was a kid, my grandmother would make an amazing slaw (NOT cole slaw) out of thinly sliced cabbage, vegetable oil, white vinegar, salt and pepper. That simple. I remember her tasting it as she added vinegar and oil, making sure the balance was just right. Sometimes I make this the “real” way and […]
Roasted Delicata Squash
Where has this squash been all my life? So much easier to prepare than butternut, and roasts faster, too. This blog post from Summer Tomato summed up my thoughts perfectly: Better than Butternut: Delicata Squash Recipe. I didn’t know what delicata squash was until I made it tonight. I had to google pictures of squash to […]
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 […]
