The Grain/Dairy Free B-Day Smash Cake!

2012-02-16T12:53:00.000-06:00

Photo by the Urban Poser Recently, I was commissioned to make a grain/dairy/sugar free birthday 'smash' cake for the most beautiful little girl on the planet!

But making a grain/dairy/sugar free cake that looks fabulous

Grain/Dairy Free Lemon & Raspberry Pancakes W/Coconut Cream

2012-02-11T14:53:00.001-06:00

{Chapter II} I wanna fit in to the perfect space, feel natural and safe in a volatile place. And I wanna grow old without the pain, give my body back to the earth and not complain. ~The Avett Brothers I still have nightmares; It's amazing how pain has a way of haunting you, even after it's gone. Its imprint lingers like the scent of a strong perfume, clinging to

Spicy Cocoa Roasted Carrots

2012-02-09T22:09:00.000-06:00

My kids say that chocolate goes with everything... chocolate and fruit, chocolate and cheese, chocolate and bacon (uhhhh...yes please!). So I decided to really put that theory to the test: Ok boys, how about....Chocolate and Carrots? Take a little cocoa, some coriander powder (for depth), some cinnamon and a pinch of ancho chile powder (for a little extra kick)....and what do you

Cherry, Pecan & Tarragon Chicken Salad (GAPS, Paleo, Egg Dairy Free)

2012-01-30T15:15:00.001-06:00

No fancy pictures today...just awesome flavor! We made this chicken salad today with the leftover ingredients from the last post, Cherry, Pecan & Tarragon Brussel Sprouts W/Madeira Wine Reduction. I must say it was FABULOUS. My kids said the only problem was that I didn't make more! That made me one happy mama. So happy in fact, that I had to share this amazingly simple recipe. Best

Cherry & Pecan Brussel Sprouts With A Tarragon & Madeira Wine Reduction (GAPS, Paleo Options, Vegan)

2012-01-29T19:15:00.000-06:00

If you happen to be one of those people who automatically turns your nose up at the mere mention of brussels sprouts...prepare to be charmed! These are not the bitter, soggy, overcooked brussels sprouts that your grandma used to make (no offense to grandma intended...I mean, I like them so mine must have done something right). Here again, you may notice the continued obsession

Keep Calm!

2012-01-26T14:17:00.000-06:00

Cocoa Cherry Biscuits W/ Meyer Lemon Marmalade (Grain & Dairy Free)

2012-01-24T21:25:00.001-06:00

Ah Valentine's: It's blissfully edging it's way closer. I can feel it's pull, like gravity; irresistible....drawing me in. If Christmas is all 'sugar plums dancing in my head', then Valentines is all chocolate, cherries and Meyer lemons dancing pretty much everywhere. In the past, I was all about the chocolate and cherries. Somehow lately though, Meyer lemons have taken up permanent

The Confessions Of A Valentine Junkie

2012-01-23T09:44:00.001-06:00

{This is a post that I wrote last year. A few days later My body completely turned against me (do to an auto-immune issue that had been triggered in my body) and I was bedridden for the next 4 months. Through the great love of my family, prayers, one very awesome doctor and the by the grace of God, I am on the road to recovery. I can cook again, write, play and express love the way I longed

Whoops...I had a misfired post!

2012-01-20T20:44:00.000-06:00

It seems that I fired off a post today that was unedited and unfinished! If you received it in your RSS feeds or email, please disregard it. The full version will be re-posted soon...with out all the crazy spelling errors and such.

This is a simple yet flavorful breakfast sausage recipe. Best of all it's fresh and free of additives or chemicals. Try it alone or thrown into your morning omelette I also like to eat it crumpled over a nice wild field salad . Enjoy! Peppered Lamb Breakfast Sausage 1 1/2 pounds ground organic lamb meat 1 tsp teaspoons coarse sea salt 1/2 tsp teaspoons freshly ground mixed

Chewy Grain Free Granola Bars: Sweet Coconut Curry (Grain/Dairy Free, RAW & Vegan options)

2012-01-11T17:55:00.001-06:00

Who says we have to make granola bars just for the kids? So I made these grain free granola bars, all grown up! Now, don't get too excited, they're not soaked in whisky or anything. They do however, pack a bit of punch with just enough curry powder to leave a little tingle on your tongue. The truth is, your kids just might love these too. Mine ate them up about as fast as I could pull

Apple, Butternut Squash & Bacon (or Pecan) Breakfast Hash (Gaps/Paleo/Vegan options)

2012-01-08T19:58:00.000-06:00

I LOVE breakfast hash. It's so hearty, savory and now it's even subtly sweet. At least this one is. I've taken my old 'hash recipe' and revamped it. With the addition of GAPS friendly [pastured, unsmoked bacon] or [salt cured, unsmoked] prosciutto and apples, this hash is an even more satisfying breakfast than the first one. Find out how to make your own unsmoked, honey sweetened bacon...

What! There's No Such Thing As A Gluten Free Grain?

2012-01-02T20:10:00.000-06:00

That can't be right!!!" you say. But indeed it is; it's true! ALL grains contain gluten. There is much confusion surrounding the enigma that we call 'Gluten'. This is largely because almost all of the data that the majority of the medical community is going on has not been revisited or updated in as much as 60 YEARS. Now that's some old information! And from the looks of it there are no

Delicious/Urban/Parents New Years Eve Grain Free Menu

2011-12-30T10:17:00.000-06:00

Welcome to what might be your very first 'Virtual Progressive Dinner'. The wonderful and talented bloggers from Paleo Parents and Multiply Delicious, were gracious enough to ask me to join them in planning a New Years Eve Menu! I'm starting off with the main course (because I'm backwards that way). Then we'll move on to the scrumptious appetizer by Heather from Multiply Delicious and

White wine & Pecan Cashew Cheese Ball (GAPS, Paleo, Vegan)

2011-12-21T16:22:00.000-06:00

Ok, here it is the mighty CHESSE BALL! A cashew cheese ball that is... and it IS awesome. It's dairy free and completely vegan. I have seasoned this one with crispy shallots, garlic and my personal favorite...dry white wine. (You could easily replace the wine with water if you prefer. White wine is GAPS friendly and some Paleo people have it in moderation) I promise, you will not be

Rosemary Spaghetti Squash Egg Nests (GAPS, Paleo)

2011-12-20T14:17:00.000-06:00

This is one of our family FAVORITES. It's as though, when I make this I can do no wrong! The nest are actually quite fun to make too. Don't be daunted by what seems like lengthy instructions. They are pretty easy to make and worth the effort for a special occasion breakfast. Which apparently means, everyday is a 'special occasion' in my house. We make these at least once a week.

Dairy Free Hot Cocoa W/Peppermint Marshmallows (GAPS, Paleo)

2011-12-16T14:07:00.000-06:00

'Baby it's cold outside', and even if it's not (like here in Texas) you can still enjoy a nice warm cup of hot cocoa with a big huge marshmallow on top. I remember my mother making different homemade hot cocoa mixes when I was younger. She would keep the mixes in tins, readily avaiable to warm our freezing little bodies after a long day of snow ball fights and igloo building! My

Raspberry Hamantaschen (Grain & Dairy Free, GAPS, Paleo)

2011-12-13T18:12:00.000-06:00

This just might be the best cookie I have ever eaten. Thank you Elanas Pantry for such great inspiration! Not only will you love these cookies but you'll also love my honey/raspberry filling recipe. It is absolutely addicting! Raspberry Hamantaschen Adapted from: Elanas Pantry 2 cups fine ground blanched almond flour 1/2 tsp salt 2 Tbls coconut oil (or other oil)

Chocolate Peppermint Sandwich Cookies (Paleo, Vegan, Grain Free)

2011-12-13T15:19:00.000-06:00

I must admit, I made these cookies look as much like a 'French Macaron' as possible. As my kids would say...'French Macarons are my only weakness'. Sadly they are not on my prescribed diet at this time. These little heavenly morsels however, will suit me just fine. Made with organic, fair trade Dagoba cocoa, these cookies are SUPER chocolaty and filled with a rich creamy,

Perfect Dairy Free Almond Flour Pancakes (Grain/Dairy Free)

2011-12-12T13:16:00.000-06:00

Oh MY! Fluffy pancakes are the best, and can I just add...I have been through the ringer (and 15lbs of almond flour) to get some! There are a lot of recipes out there. Some of them by amazing cooks too. But none of them were turning out the way I had hoped. They were either too soggy or too clumpy and worst of all, would stick to the pan. Finally after much tinkering I think I have it!
