Not long before having to adapt to a gluten-free diet, I fell in LOVE with crepes. We have the sweetest little crepery in my area, but unfortunately they don't offer gluten-free crepes of any kind. So, I did what I always do and went to the internet to find a crepe recipe, and kept playing with adapting the ingredients until I got this lovely creation. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients: -1 cup organic oats (any kind such as quick, rolled, etc, gluten-free if necessary) -2 organic omega-3 eggs -1 cup organic 100% grass fed whole milk (or almond or oat milk for dairy free version) -1 tsp organic vanilla Directions:
Serves 2 Tips: -If you substitute a dairy-free milk, add a tablespoon of grapeseed oil to the wet mix; the fat content will help them turn golden and get slightly crispy. This recipe can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and nut free. It is suitable for people on a vegetarian diet.

Saturday morning pancakes are a tradition in our household, and there's nothing better than finding creative ways to serve them. This weekend we topped it off with a tropical fruit blend. I think the only thing that would've made it even better is if we would've had coconut butter to melt between the stacks. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients: -1 cup organic sprouted oats (gluten-free if necessary) -2 organic omega-3 eggs (substitute 2 tsp ground sprouted flax seeds and 2 Tbsp water for vegan egg substitution). -1/2 cup organic 100% grass fed whole milk (or almond or oat milk for dairy free version) -1 tsp organic vanilla -2 tsp baking powder -pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt -organic maple syrup Fruit Topping: -1 organic banana -1 organic kiwi -1/2 cup organic blueberries Directions:
Serves 2 Tips: -If you substitute a dairy-free milk, add a tablespoon of grapeseed oil to the wet mix; the fat content will help them turn golden brown. -Make a double batch and save some for the next day for a quick and easy breakfast. -If making vegan with the egg substitute, be sure to mix together and set aside for a few minutes until water and flax gel together). This recipe can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, and nut free. It is suitable for people on a whole food, plant-based, vegetarian, or vegan diet. This is a go-to winter recipe for our household. Anymore, it seems like it's so expensive to choose healthy/quality foods. I added up the total cost of ingredients used to make this soup, and to my surprise, it was just about $20 (for 10 servings!!!). Plus, I get to save the bones to make bone broth, which isn't cheap to buy. I don't know where else you can find a $2.00 meal that's 100% organic and packed with protein and vegetables other than in your own kitchen. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients: -1 organic whole chicken (I buy mine at Costco, they have 2 packs for 19.99). -1 bunch of organic celery -8 large organic carrots -2 organic yellow onions -1 package of organic broccoli slaw (or use your own leftover broccoli stems and slaw it yourself, for a no waste option) -1 large bunch of fresh organic parsley -1 tablespoon of organic thyme -1.5 tablespoons of pink Himalayan salt -water to desired consistency (I made mine pretty hearty, so it was about half water, half everything else in the pot). Directions:
Serves 10 Tips: Make ahead of time for a quick and easy dinner that can be pulled out of the fridge and reheated. Create a double batch in a really large stock pot and freeze half for when life gets crazy and you don't have time to cook. Save the bones each time you make soup with a bone-in meat, and make your own bone broth instead of buying it. It's okay to substitute dried parsley for fresh- you'd probably need at least 4 tablespoons. The fresh parsley was about 1 cup. This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, grain-free, and soy-free. It's suitable for Paleo, Keto, and other low-carb diets.

It's suitable for Paleo, Keto, and other low-carb diets. This is my favorite twist on tacos so far. While on vacation last summer, I had these amazing steak tacos, and I was determined to figure out a way to make a taco that was similar at home. You'll definitely want to make the Chipotle Cremoli (which is basically a word I made up, because it's like a cross between a Crema and an Aioli) sauce for on top of them. You can find that recipe here. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients: -1lb organic grass fed steak (your preference, I'm using sirloin) -1 organic zucchini -1 organic yellow squash -1 organic yellow onion -1 organic red pepper -1 organic green pepper -2 tablespoons organic olive oil -organic seasonings (pink Himalayan salt, garlic, chili powder, chipotle powder) -package of organic Mexican cheese -taco shell of choice (it was served originally with soft corn taco shells (which add a nice, complementary, sweet flavor, but any will do. I like to use butter lettuce as my taco shells). Directions:
Serves 4 Tips: -Season and tenderize your meat the night before for the best flavor. -Veggies can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal on another day. -Play around with the spice ratios on the meat- everyone has slightly different tastes. (But I do suggest keeping the veggies seasoned mildly, or it can become way too overpowering, especially if you prepare the Chipotle Cremoli). -Double the recipe for leftovers! XX Des This recipe is gluten-free, sugar-free, and nut-free. It's suitable for Paleo, Keto, and other low-carb diets, as well as grain-free diets, if made with butter lettuce instead of taco shells. This smoothie is one of my favorites because it's a powerhouse of nutrients and anti-inflammatory ingredients, plus it has a unique sweet & spicy flavor.. Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelian which helps fight inflammation and aids in digestion, and ginger is an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant food source. Here's what you need:
Ingredients: -1 cup frozen pineapple -1 small/medium organic banana -2 cups of organic spinach (or kale, or both) -hunk of fresh ginger (to taste) -water to desired consistency Directions:
Serves 1 Tips: -Using frozen pineapple instead of ice creates a very smooth texture, however, if you only have fresh pineapple, just add 1 cup of ice to this recipe. -You can store and freeze all the ingredients together ahead of time to have a quick and easy, "just add water," meal or snack for on-the-go. This recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegetarian, & vegan. This recipe has become a favorite in our household. One of the foods I missed most after I began "clean eating" was Panera Mac 'n Cheese. Pair that with the fact that I also went gluten-free, and it seemed impossible that I'd ever taste anything similar again. Turns out I was wrong- yay! My roommate from college and I used to make a copycat recipe of Panera Mac 'n Cheese in college, but it just wasn't the same. I kept experimenting with it until I came up with the recipe below- here's what you'll need:
Ingredients: -2 cups of organic shell macaroni (for gluten-free, use tinkyada brown rice pasta shells*) -2 cups raw, organic, 100% grass-fed whole milk -4 to 6 oz organic sharp cheddar cheese (depending on how cheesy you like it) -1 tablespoon raw, organic, 100% grass-fed butter -1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt -1/8 teaspoon organic dijon mustard *if using gluten-free pasta, add 1 cup of water Directions:
Serves 2 as a meal, or 4 as a side. This recipe is gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, and egg-free. |
