Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies

These Blueberry Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies are a nice mildly sweet way to start your day. The only grain in them is oat, so many gluten intolerant people can have them, and these breakfast cookies are packed with soluble fiber. I used coconut oil and almond milk in them so they are dairy free, and raw cane sugar and maple syrup are the sweeteners. They are sort of a cross between a muffin & a cookie. Why not try eating your oatmeal like this for a little change? Blueberry Oatmeal Continue Reading

Spice Rubbed Wild Salmon Fillet

An easy Spice Rubbed Grilled Wild Salmon recipe that fits a wild array of modern diets. Serve this grilled wild salmon with a simple salad or some cauliflower rice and you have a great light low carb meal that is clean eating and Keto compliant.

Creamy Chicken Quinoa with Bacon and Mushrooms Recipe

This Creamy Chicken Quinoa Recipe features mushrooms, bacon and herbs. It is both gluten and dairy free, and despite the inclusion of bacon is actually pretty low fat, as well.

I currently have my daughter on a Continue Reading

Lime Glazed Chicken Thighs

These sweet and tangy Lime Glazed Chicken Thighs are a budget friendly meal choice thanks to the inexpensive bone-in chicken thighs used in the recipe. The sticky sweet glaze is mildly spiced, so it can still be enjoyed by more sensitive palettes. I get a few different food magazines in each month, and my daughter adores browsing through them. I think she looks at them more than me. The past couple weeks she has been particularly fascinated with the July issue of Cooking Light. It has a Continue Reading

Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe (also Dairy-free) GFCF

This gluten free pizza crust recipe is my favorite so far and is dairy free as well! Making Gluten free Pizza Crust After several months of preparation, I finally fully transitioned my daughter into a gluten and dairy free diet (GFCF) , to see if it helps her with her autism symptoms. This is the best version of gluten free pizza dough that I have come up with so far. The dough is tender, and while not quite as chewy as traditional pizza crust, it has a nice texture. This would be Continue Reading
