I continue to experiment with grain free baking. This morning I tried a new muffin recipe from Organic and Thrifty. The original recipe is for blueberry muffins. I made strawberry since Rebecca has been requesting some. I also made a few other modifications to the recipe. I used mostly my home-ground crispy almond/pecan flour. It’s …
Coconut Blueberry Muffins
I have a couple grain free muffin recipes I want to try. I debated about what to make for breakfast today. I’ve been using a lot of almond flour lately, so I decided to do something different and try a coconut flour recipe. I got the recipe from Simply Coconut. The base recipe is for …
Honey Coated Nuts
I have a recipe for sugar coated pecans that I’ve made many times. They are soooo good. Yesterday I wanted to make some…but in a GAPS-legal way. So I used honey instead of sugar. I also used cripsy pecans, almonds and walnuts. These turned out quite well. They don’t have quite the same texture, and …
Butterscotch Pudding
Justin’s birthday was this week. We are finally able to celebrate today since he’s back home. I wanted to make him a birthday dessert that was fairly simple, something we don’t get often, NOT cake 😛 and that didn’t make a huge amount. So I decided to do trifles…with homemade pudding. I’ve made chocolate pudding …
Grain Free Apple Raisin Bars (dairy free, egg free, GAPS-legal)
I tried another new grain free snack yesterday – apple raisin bars. I got the recipe from Nourished and Nurtured (a great blog with lots of yummy-looking recipes!). These are so easy to make. I made them while I was making dinner 🙂 It is noisy to do all of the processing, but doesn’t take …
Peanut Butter Fudge (grain free, dairy free, egg free, GAPS-legal)
I also made a batch of grain free fudge yesterday. I saw the recipe on Grain Free Foodies and knew I had to try it! It is so simple to make. And it is AWESOME!! Only a few minutes to prep. Then put it in the freezer for a bit. Then enjoy 🙂 A great …
Nut Butter Bread (grain free, dairy free, GAPS-legal)
I’m trying to do more grain free baking to have easy stuff on hand for myself. Yesterday I tried a new bread recipe from Grain Free Foodies. It sounded odd…making bread without any flour…just use nut butter. Would that work? But I gave it a shot…and it worked!! This is really good (especially with lots …
Navy Bean Hummus – Another Way to Sneak in Eggs (grain free, dairy free, GAPS-legal)
I’m just starting on my GAPS journey. And trying to figure out what I can/can’t eat. I LOVE beans…all kinds. And eat them all the time. I think I ate them every single day during my last 2 years of college 😛 I’ve always figured they were good for me…tons of fiber, right? Well, turns …
GAPS – What, Why, How? The Start of My Journey
Forewarning…this is long 🙂 And I’m still just figuring things out/learning (I haven’t even read the whole book yet). So bear with me. But I wanted to get this out for those that have read my blog and are wondering what in the world GAPS is and why I’m on this path. GAPS – Gut …
Cinnamon Bun Muffins (grain free, dairy free)
I tried another recipe from Elana’s Pantry last night – Cinnamon Bun Muffins. Another hit! Who knew grain free baked goods could taste so good? 🙂 These were very easy to make. And all 3 of use loved them. Elana has a cream cheese frosting recipe to go with it. I didn’t add any frosting. …
