Delicious Grain-Free Recipes
Happy Weekend, Friends!🥦🥦🥦
We’re taking a trip to savory town again this week with our chicken + broccoli casserole! And there’s more to come–our twice baked jalapeño + cheddar potatoes will be here next week. Clearly we’re on a comfort food bender!…
Happy Sunday, Friends!❤️
We are so thrilled to finally be posting this recipe!! A lot of time, effort + love went into it and we just know you’re going to enjoy it as much as we have–it really is absolutely delicious!
…
Good Morning, Friends!
Life, in my opinion, is just better with sandwich rolls. And quite a bit easier, too. I know it sounds ridiculous, we’ve genuinely tried to live without them here– but there are just too many occasions that call for toast + jam, or a multilayered sandwich! …
Happy Weekend, Friends!
I can’t even express to you how delicious these baked cheddar + olive balls are! All I can say is that there is a lot of salty-cheesy-goodness going on here. But even that doesn’t do them justice! They are difficult to categorize—because at first they seem like a sophisticated appetizer to be savored with a martini, and yet at the same time they have that guilty-pleasure quality, of say- a plate of gooey cheese fries….
I know what you’re thinking… there’s cheese on that sandwich! That’s not Paleo!! And indeed you are right. But a girl can get carried away with sandwich fixings– you start to stack the layers and you just can’t stop!😋 But never fear, because the bread itself is Paleo through and through….
Good Morning, friends!
We’re getting ourselves in gear for Super Bowl LII this coming weekend and we knew bagel bites just had to be on the snack menu! …
Happy Sunday! We wanted to go ahead and get this super scrumptious grain-free stuffing recipe out to you in plenty of time for the holidays. It can be a mad rush, so it’s always good to know what you’re working with ahead of time!:)…
Who’s ready for Seafood Pot Pie?🌟 I know we are! It’s finally getting a bit chilly here in Brooklyn and we’re rolling out all the cooler weather fare. And one of our favorite things in this world is good seafood. So to make it hearty, we thought it only made sense to pair it with pastry!…
Happy Saturday, Friends!
Our furry canine friends deserve a sweet Fall treat just like the rest of us, don’t you think? And nothing says Fall like pumpkins, maple syrup and spice! And not to worry, these delicious little biscuits are light on sugar yet full of pumpkin pie flavor. …
Good Evening, Friends!
There are few things better in this world than enjoying a comforting meal amongst family and friends. And part of that joy can come not only from sharing the meal itself, but in sharing the preparation of it. I remember in my family, on the weekends, how we would turn on some good music and make a party out of it— even if it was just a few of us. What could have been a tedious effort quickly turned into celebration and bonding—and recipe sharing!! And I must say, this is the perfect meal for the whole family to participate in. Making pasta can be a lot of fun, especially when the dough bears some semblance to play-doh.😋 And you don’t necessarily have to make shells, you can let everyone put their creative hats on and come up with their own designs!…
Good Afternoon, friends!
I love summer as much as the next person, but I must admit that my heart lies with fall—the summer weather always seems to linger on just a little bit too long. By the end of August, any indication of cooler weather or change of season has me thrilled. And I’m one of those crazy persons that enjoys when evening presents itself early— I’m totally charmed by a 6pm sunset. But it’s not just the thought of cooler weather that lures me into autumn early, it’s also the cuisine. I have been craving spiced breads and heartier meals, and that is what brings me to today’s recipe….
Today’s recipe is three in one, so I’m going to go ahead + get right down to it! I will say quickly that we’re thrilled to finally be posting this trio, we wanted to wait until the texture and taste were just right. They are flexible, delicious and mild in flavor– allowing the filling to be the star. That being said, they are also delightful on their own or with a bit of melted cheese, if you have a picky eater in the family….
Happy Wednesday!! We’re half way through the week! We’ve been busy bees working overtime to get this bagel recipe to you sooner rather than later. I know we sometimes move at a turtle’s pace. That being said, I’m just going to get right down to it– this is my new favorite recipe! Before testing, I really had no clue how easy it would be to make bagels. The process is even easier due to the fact that there is no yeast in the recipe–and it doesn’t even need it!…
Everyone loves breadsticks, they’re just yummy, crusty, chewy goodness. Add toppings and a side of marinara for dipping and I guarantee you’ll have a house full of happy people— kids especially, because it’s basically pizza deconstructed– and something you can pick up with your hands!🙌…
Hooray for grain-free pasta!💚
When our diets change, there are inevitably certain foods (often favorites) that we are forced to relinquish. Such was the case for me with pasta. Once I became fully immersed in the grain-free lifestyle, I had to place pasta somewhere in the deep recesses of my mind, knowing it would be all too cruel to leave it in the forefront– where I’d be dreaming of Spaghetti all day long.😭…
Spoon Bread may not be the prettiest of dishes but it’s most certainly the yummiest! I grew up on Southern Spoon Bread, the kind that’s somewhere in between the texture of bread and soufflé. It’s savory, soft, smooth and delicious. And best served fresh out of the oven, spooned on to a plate with a healthy pat of butter. It’s the perfect side to a seafood dinner but also works beautifully with something like pork chops and collards. So yummy!! Traditionally, it’s made with corn meal but we used Bob’s Red Mill Paleo Baking Flour with amazing results. I seriously cannot believe how authentic the taste is, it literally brought a tear to my eye! I have a few tips for you then it’s off to the recipe!…
Happy Friday!🎉
I’m genuinely excited about today’s recipe–I mean it doesn’t get much better than toasty, chewy English Muffins slathered with butter and jam, right?? Or maybe you prefer a thick layer of vegan cream cheese topped with fresh fruit–or one of our all-time favorites, English Muffin Mini Pizzas! Now those are the very best.
However you slice it (terrible pun intended), you end up with a delicious sweet or savory treat. And a treat you don’t have to feel guilty about because it’s both vegan and grain-free!…
Ahhh Pot Pie.💛 The quintessential comfort food. It’s hearty, savory, crusty and delicious–what’s not to love?? I like to keep a few of these beauties in the freezer for rainy, tired days that find me unable to fathom proper meal planning. They always save the day.
…
PIZZA!🍕🍕🍕
And yes, it’s chewy!! Do I want chewy pizza, you ask?? Yes, you definitely do! I know, I’m clearly a little too excited about this, but it’s been a long time in the making. I’ve been testing grain-free pizza crust for a few years now, but was never quite satisfied with the recipe. I was pleased with the taste, but felt it was missing “chew” to it– you know, that glorious bit of resistance you’re met with when biting into a slice?? That “chew” also lends to the flexibility of the crust–you want to be able to fold it in your hand without fear of breakage. Lack of flexibility was always a source of frustration when I would purchase store bought gluten-free crust. It was delicious, but it did not behave like a true pizza. Good taste is paramount, but look and feel are also greatly important. Admittedly, achieving this in grain-free crust was not easy– this is 3 years in the making, but it was definitely worth the wait. What was once–“this is really good grain-free pizza!” has turned into “this is really great pizza!”–and that is music to my ears. I hope you enjoy the recipe!!…
It’s officially spring, hooray!🌿 Time to start dishing out warm weather entrees! I suppose we might not be quite ready for Gazpacho or Vichyssoise just yet but I think it’s safe to break out the crab cakes. And oh how I love crab cakes!! This recipe is much like the variety I grew up on– Maryland jumbo lump style. I do not believe in a lot of filler in my crab cakes–the crab should be the star. (And rightly so). …
Happy Wednesday!
I have been meaning to post my grain-free bread crumbs for the longest time now! I’m afraid my crazy sweet tooth often prevents me from focusing on savory recipes, I’m lucky to get one in every two months! Hey, you certainly can’t blame a girl for loving cupcakes. 😉 Thankfully, my attention has returned to savory fare as I was recently asked to create an eggless version of my bread crumb recipe…
Here is a quick and easy recipe that will turn your leftover mashed potatoes into a delicious grain-free meal or side: Potato Cakes (Grain-Free and Dairy-Free)…
Oh cheese crackers, when have I not loved you?? (Answer: NEVER). 😉 Back in the dear old gluten days, it was Cheez-Its, Nip-Chees, Cheese Tid-Bits, Toast-Chees, Cheese Straws… (Oh man and how I adored Handi-Snacks too, though not technically a cheese cracker).
Well it’s no surprise the very first grain-free recipe I created was for Five-Cheese Crackers. I still haven’t been able to part with it as it’s dear to my heart, kind of like that framed first paycheck—not to be cashed….
It only occurred to me fairly recently that scones could be savory. How I missed out on this fact for so long, I’ll never know. But I’m definitely making up for it now! 😉 I like having a savory option at teatime– and it also makes such a lovely brunch side. And this scone can also stand alone because of it’s satisfying combination of flavors. I would say that the sharp white cheddar is the star and the jalapeño gives it just the right amount of kick. Let’s head to the recipe!…
