Lasagna with Homemade Grain-Free Noodles

IMG_5415-2

  This lasagna tastes as real as it looks. I know that’s an odd thing to say, but often grain-free dishes can deceive the eye in photos but can’t play tricks on our palates. I was hoping it would be good, but it exceeded my expectations. Ever since going grain-free, I just succumbed to the … Read more

Chicken Bolognese Sauce (SCD, Paleo)

IMG_1405

This dish was created out of leftovers. And laziness. It was a Saturday and I put off going to the store all day, so when it came time for dinner, I found myself in a pickle. We’ve been trying to save money by not going out, so I rummaged through the fridge and pulled out … Read more

I substituted ground turkey and chicken broth … Read more

Italian Herb Turkey

I feed my son Applegate Organic turkey breast for lunch and used to eat it myself until I started SCD. It’s so close to legal, but they use Carrageenan (From Seaweed) and also feed their poultry a diet of soy, corn and other grains. My sister and I have been snacking on turkey roll-ups (lunch … Read more

Chicken Parmesan with Spaghetti Squash

I’m Italian and love the food of the culture in all it’s grainy glory.  While I’ve had a gradual decent from the traditional white pasta (went to brown rice pasta first for the few years before I went SCD), I still miss it.  My husband used to love my chicken parmesan and I decided that … Read more
