I love pickles and anything seasoned with dill. When I saw that some deviled egg recipes called for vinegar and some for fresh dill, it gave me the idea to use pickle juice instead of vinegar and add some minced pickles to the filling. We enjoyed these — the dill taste is not overly strong, […]

Poached Eggs with Lentils and Kale
I’m a big fan of savory, protein-filled breakfasts. Although this would work for any meal. This recipe is all about saving time in the morning and all week. Learning to poach eggs in the microwave was a big revelation for me. I followed the directions here and it worked great (you may need to adjust cooking […]
Mac and Cheese: Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free Edition
Sometimes there’s a need for a big bowl of cheesy goodness, but without gluten or lactose. You’ve come to the right place. This doesn’t take long. Barely longer than making boxed mac and cheese. Maybe there’s one out there, but I haven’t seen a boxed version that is both gluten free and dairy free or lactose […]
Bloody Mary Green Bean Salad
Pickled Okra? Bloody Mary Mix? What more could you ask for in a salad? This fresh, acidic salad makes an amazing match for BBQ, pork butt, brisket, anything smoky with BBQ sauce. The dressing is a little spicy, a little tangy, just like a Bloody Mary. I first had this dish at a family dinner over the […]
Fluffy Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Waffles
There are tons of gluten-free waffle recipes out there to try. This one comes from the website of Bob’s Red Mill, vendor of many gluten-free flour products: Fluffy Gluten Free Waffles. My only adaptation to the recipe was to use unsweetened almond milk instead of cow’s milk to make these dairy free. That tweak didn’t seem […]
Fresh Goat Cheese and Tomato Salad
This is about as simple as it gets for a light meal or first course. Top mixed greens with quartered grape tomatoes, crumbled goat cheese (more flavorful if you buy a log of cheese and crumble it yourself) and strips of basil. For dressing, drizzle with EVOO and a light splash of balsamic vinegar. Add […]
Cauliflower Crust Pizza with Homemade Sauce
Using cauliflower for your pizza crust is a nice low-carb, gluten-free option The crust tasted great but didn’t hold together that well. We’ll just rename this “Rustic Cauliflower Pizza Crust.” There are some explanations for what went wrong below. We would definitely eat this again, though. I found the recipe here: The Secret to Perfect […]
Fast Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Goat Cheese and Herbs
This is a quick, easy, relatively healthy recipe that can be a great side or a meal unto itself. It was revolutionary when I realized you could quickly cook sweet potatoes in the microwave (8-10 minutes vs. 45 minutes to an hour in the conventional oven). 1 large sweet potato goat cheese butter, olive oil […]
Gluten Free Banana Pancakes
I started making this recipe when our son was having trouble digesting wheat and dairy, but we’ve kept on making it because it’s so good. I frequently make a double batch and freeze a bunch of them just to have a good snack/breakfast/meal handy for our toddler. Here’s where I found the recipe: Gluten Free Brown Rice […]
Cauliflower Egg Fried “Rice”
Love this Cauliflower Fried Rice recipe from Tip Hero (great video, too). We made it our own using 8 eggs for extra protein and gluten-free soy sauce (such as Tamari). Left out the carrots and scallions because we didn’t have any on hand. Next time I will use them and take a more colorful photo… All […]
