Once in a while I love to make waffles. I would make them more often if I had a healthy waffle maker. But unfortunately, mine is coated in non-stick—the only non-stick appliance I own. If you know of a company that sells stainless or ceramic waffle makers (is there such a thing?) please let me…
Breakfast
Chocolate Chip Coconut Pancakes, gluten-free
Today Zoe said that she wanted to make pancakes for breakfast. Okay =) So, I thought we would try a new recipe (because I just can’t help myself 😉 Based on my gluten free crepe recipe, we blended up these coconut chocolate chip pancakes. Now, I have to be honest with you here, and you might…
Nutty Gluten Free Banana Bread
This pregnancy I have been craving one thing above all else. PROTEIN. I can’t get enough of it. So I decided to try pumping up my gluten free banana bread recipe with quinoa flakes and almonds, to get more protein in. You may know that quinoa is the only grain that is a complete protein…
Eggs Julia
As you know if you follow me on Facebook, I’ve been obsessed with Elegance with Eggs, a video of Julia Child from 1964. Since watching the video (twice) I’ve made eggs in ramekins three times, the way Julia does in the video. They are so awesome, I had to bring them up one more time…
Vanilla Almond Strawberry Gluten-Free Granola
Last week Zoe was asking me to buy cereal. *Groan* We haven’t been cereal people for years. I think it’s the least healthy way to start your day. I’m all about keeping our blood sugar even, not spiking it first thing in the morning. My girls are homeschooled, so who would get to deal with…
Quinoa Pumpkin Spice Bread and Thanks
As promised, here is the pumpkin spice bread I made last evening 🙂 I made it twice because I wanted to add more spices. Also, I didn’t grind the shredded coconut and quinoa flakes nearly as much the second time so I would have a grainier texture. If you prefer a finer, more cake-like texture,…
Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffins (grain-free, casein-free)
This morning I woke up to one of our first cold mornings yet. Or maybe it isn’t the coldest morning yet, but it feels like it because the sky is overcast outside and it rained a little last night. It’s always colder when the sun isn’t shining for a change. Could fall finally be here?…
Gluten Free Biscuits, egg free
This morning we had these gluten free biscuits for breakfast with some (no added sugar) blueberry jam. They were just what we were in the mood for and nice and filling because of the beans. I used to think it was unusual to be baking with whole cooked beans, but then I realized that lots…
Banana Fruit Bread (gluten-free, dairy-free)
I wanted to use up as much of the food in the cabin as possible before we left, so yesterday I made this fruit bread for the drive back. I used my Paleo banana bread recipe for two loaves with a few changes. I only had six eggs, so I omitted two from the recipe….
Chai Paleo Granola
You may have heard me saying how we’re getting ready for a road trip. We are so excited. Most of Andy’s family lives near the Adirondack mountains of upstate New York, and they have a family cabin on Lake George. Andy, Zoe, Ashley, our dog, Cherry, and I are driving to the cabin on the…
