What to use when you are restricted from all of the most common breading vices and you really want popcorn chicken?? Coconut Flakes. I use them for everything. Yesterday I posted in a recipe how to use them to make Strawberry Cream Cheese. I eat them as chips ( Curried Coconut Flake Chip recipe)..  I [...]

Strawberry “Cream Cheese” (Gluten/Dairy/Soy/Egg/Nut/Seed Free) with directions to also make Sugar Free.

by Brittany February 1, 2012

Cream Cheese without dairy can be found at most grocery stores these days. But, typically it contains soy. Soy, once considered a super food has now gotten a bad rap for itself. I don’t really care about the debates, what I do care about is the fact that I know Soy does not make me [...]

Curried Coconut Flake “Chips” (Paleo, Gluten Free, Vegan)

by Brittany January 28, 2012

Snack food is typically the first thing that has to get thrown out the window for those with a long list of food sensitivities. While I typically don’t crave carbs anymore- I was pretty thrilled when I came up with this little recipe idea. These crunchy little morsels are the perfect combo of sweet and [...]

For better or worse, in sickness and in health.

by Brittany January 27, 2012

In sickness and in health. Yes, I uttered those words and I meant them with all my heart. They were easy to say before I developed this autoimmune disease that has claimed me as its own for life. Living with an autoimmune disease (hashimotos in my case) will change you. It will make you tough [...]

Sugar Free Ginger Ale

by Brittany January 26, 2012

With the new  year comes often comes new diets, new gym memberships- a whole bunch of new that doesn’t always last. I like many fluctuated up and down right along with this system. Weight gain in the winter, weight loss in the summer and of course feeling the need to detox after the holiday season. [...]

The uncomfortable topic: Recipe Swiping

by Brittany January 25, 2012

A chill of silence enters the room, who wants to talk first? Me? No, I don’t want to start the conversation. I don’t like it for one, and I hate the feeling that I get in the pit of my stomach when I have to. I can be the rather outspoken type, but then as [...]

Gluten Free Samoa Cookies. (Grain/Egg/Corn/Soy/Dairy/Refined Sugar Free)

by Brittany January 21, 2012

It came to my attention yesterday that there are hundreds of little girls- hard at work selling girl scout cookies. Cookies, that they cannot eat. WHAT? Are you kidding me? What a sad, sad reality. I’m hoping today to help put an end to this madness. Every little girl sure as heck should be able [...]

by Brittany January 18, 2012

Crack? Yes. Crack. I dare you to try to eat just one. You will then understand the title. But what is the crack? Its a flavor and texture combination that will change your life. Think Oo-ey Goo-ey brownie topped with a Peanut Butter no baked cookie. As I often do, I have about a million [...]

by Brittany January 2, 2012

Its January 2nd. I suppose you might expect me to post a salad recipe. The truth is, I don’t believe in those extremely silly short term healthy eating plans. They annoy me to be perfectly honest. I believe in healthy eating year round. That can include dessert. You see, following the paleo diet I don’t [...]

Flax Pasta (Paleo, Gluten/Grain/Corn/Soy/Dairy Free)

by Brittany January 1, 2012

Happy, Happy New Year! I figured it might be fun to kick off 2012 with a recipe that for a long time I thought impossible.  When you go grain free that typically means giving up Pasta, Breads etc.  Something that I’m honestly ok with, as Its seldom that I crave anything like this.  But. I [...]

Magic Sauce? Yes. Have you ever had applesauce so good that you kept thinking about it for days? To the point that you got cravings for it. I didn’t. I also swore to myself that I would never post an applesauce recipe. I thought that was silly. I figured everyone knew how to make it [...]

by Brittany December 20, 2011

When you are limited to the ingredients you can use, due to having food allergies or intolerances the #1 most important thing to learn to do, is to think outside the box. Think about each ingredient that you CAN have and look beyond what you know its uses are. For example- flax seeds are often [...]

When I think of Christmas, I think of Cinnamon Rolls. When I went grain free a few months ago I noticed there was a shortage of recipes. I even had people tell me that it would be impossible to make these rolls without the use of any starches. I was very excited when I figured [...]
