Summer vacation means extra time to try cooking new dishes. This week's experiment was no-mato sauce for spaghetti squash spaghetti. I love spaghetti, but tomatoes are not on the friend list. Just for good measure, I wanted to leave out garlic and onions, because they're a little suspect at the moment. I can't say much… Continue reading No-mato Spaghetti Sauce

Pancakes II
This recipe is very similar to the other gluten-free, dairy-free recipe I posted here. However, in an attempt to stick as close to my elimination diet as I can (and still eat pancakes, of course), I've left out the eggs... and added a few more things. So, here is the gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free version!… Continue reading Pancakes II
Misadventures in Cooking: Coconut Flour
Curry-less Curry Sauce
This recipe was an attempt to make an AIP-friendly sauce for hot pot. So far, I've used this sauce to cook bok choy, nappa cabbage, shrimp, lamb, and sweet potatoes. All of these have tasted wonderful. This sauce is as close to curry as I've been able to get for a while. See, I love… Continue reading Curry-less Curry Sauce
Coconut Flour Chocolate Cookies
It's still at the experimenting stage. They're rather crumbly, but so delicious!
Saturday Morning Pancakes
Blueberry Pancake HappinessPancakes are one of my favorite foods. When I was little, my parents made pancakes for us every weekend: round pancakes, bear pancakes, turtle pancakes, initial-letter pancakes. And they were delicious!

I had to do some last minute grocery shopping the next day, so I stopped by the clearance shelf to see if there were more. Each… Continue reading Chocolate Chocolate-Chip Cookies: Dairy, Gluten, & Soy free
Summer Cooking: Strawberry Bread
With the coming of summer, strawberries are very plentiful. I enjoy strawberries a lot - if I could live off them, I would. This recipe is probably one of the least healthy a person could use, but it makes for a delicious, summery quick bread. Really, it's so good and a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy! Oatmeal Strawberry… Continue reading Summer Cooking: Strawberry Bread

Avocados – they’re not just for guacamole anymore
Since I started drinking almond milk, I thought I'd try making pudding with it. I don't know what I did wrong, but it never firmed up in the refrigerator. And I left it in there all day. Recently, I came across some recipes for chocolate pudding made with... avocados. I like avocados, and since I'll… Continue reading Avocados – they’re not just for guacamole anymore
