Years ago, it was quite unheard of to have a noodle alternative. But recently, allergies to gluten have allowed many traditional flour noodle alternatives to appear. Large flat noodles can be replaced by cabbage, zucchini or yellow squash slices, or eggplant. Rice can be replaced by cauliflower. Long, skinny noodles can be replaced by zucchini …
We use a lot of chicken stock around here but that doesn’t mean it’s superior to other kinds of stock. We’ve recently been working on adding soup recipes that are especially delicious with beef stock. Whatever meat you use, remember it should be 80% meat and 20% bone with a joint. Depending on your cut, …
Alfredo Sauce used to be my favorite growing up but it often gave me a stomach-ache. I learned that was caused by a dairy intolerance and so I stopped eating it for many years. Now that I’ve healed my gut using the GAPS Protocol, I can freely enjoy dairy and alfredo sauce again! Alfredo is …

So I have been looking for soup recipes with unique tastes or flavor profiles to shake things up. I’ve never really had traditionally made jambalaya so I’m not sure how well this stacks up but it is …
Chicken is such a versatile and easy to meat to cook! It’s a mild meat so it can be easily adapted to many different recipes and flavors. Purchase the highest quality meat you can afford! For me, this means buying chickens directly from farmers whenever possible. If I buy a chicken from a store, I …
In celebration of my friend’s birthday years ago, I made an “Amazingly Delicious Carrot Cake” (that’s what the recipe was called, at least). I’ve modified the recipe a bit and I am so excited to have found such a delicious-looking recipe. One ingredient in it that I have never even heard of *gasp, I know* …
