Chile Verde Chicken Enchiladas
You don’t often see Mexican food in the grain-free world. I assume it’s because people want warm tortillas or corn chips with their meal, and figure it’s not worth making it without it. Well, these enchiladas will make it worth it to you. You won’t miss the corn tortillas, and served with a side of … Read more

Grain-free and Dairy-free Pumpkin Pie (SCD, Paleo)
I can eat eggs again! Just in time too, as I couldn’t come up with a pumpkin pie I liked without the use of eggs. The crust on this pie is really simple to make and just presses in to the pie plate instead of having to roll anything out. You can use canned pumpkin … Read more
Grain-Free Thanksgiving Stuffing
*Note : Some have had issues with the dough for this recipe. I am deleting the yogurt note as I know for certain that the bread works with the Farmer’s Cheese (dry curd cottage cheese). A reader told me they subbed thick greek yogurt and had success, but I have never tried it myself. I … Read more
SCD and Paleo Cranberry Sauce
I don’t know about you, but I grew up on the canned variety of this holiday favorite. I actually never liked it and skipped over the jelly like substance at every Thanksgiving. Now that I’ve made it homemade and know what I am eating is not full of refined sugar, I’ve grown to love it … Read more
Roasted Butternut Squash with Maple Sage Brown Butter (refined sugar free)
I made a trial Thanksgiving dinner the other night and am so happy with the recipe I came up with for this Brown Butter Sage Butternut Squash. Try saying that 5 times fast! I love candied yams, but since starting the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, gave up potatoes along with the grains. As I’ve been planning … Read more
Cobb Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
There’s nothing better to me than a crisp and fresh salad for dinner. Especially when the weather is warm and turning on an oven only adds the heat. I do the chicken on the grill to keep the heat outside, and usually boil my eggs in the morning to have a few extras in the … Read more
Crock Pot Italian Fagioli Soup
This soup was inspired by a copy cat recipe of Olive Garden’s Pasta e Fagioli soup that a friend passed along to me. Her soup was delicious, but not SCD legal and also had a lot of ingredients that I can’t eat right now (see my Facebook Post). I substituted ground turkey and chicken broth … Read more
Chicken Citrus Salad
One of my favorite salads is my spinach mango salad, but since I was out of spinach and mango, I decided to come up with something else inspired by it. It turned out pretty good if you ask my husband and me! Any citrus will work for the dressing and marinade, but you definitely don’t … Read more
Lamb Gyro with Tzatziki Sauce
I often associate cooking lamb with special occasions, but this recipe is actually very budget (and time!) friendly. The whole meal cost me about $30 at Whole Foods, and took about 30 minutes to prepare. Not bad at all! To ensure you get tender slices of meat, have the butcher trim all of the fat … Read more
