If someone had told me three years ago that more than 30,000 unique individuals would be visiting this website every month, I would have laughed. You see, when I started this site my goal was to share recipes that made my life easier. To create food that was safe for my family and delicious to […]
Sugar-Free Avocado Fudgesicles
August 14, 2013 By 12 Comments
I believe the best way to sabotage something like an elimination diet, especially one that you must be on for health reasons, is to forbid yourself the ability to enjoy a treat every now and then. Especially when you are 9. The process of eliminating Candida has not only brought my daughter and I to a […]
Roasted Garlic Baba Ghanouj
August 7, 2013 By 7 Comments
Baba Ghanouj (Baba Ghanoush) is a naturally gluten-free, dairy-free Middle Eastern dish that is typically served with pita bread and/or vegetables. In our battle against Candida, I have found that dips and sauces have become more important to our daily routine. First, kids love to dip their food. Last night we had roasted cod fish, […]

Candida Friendly Cucumber Salsa
July 10, 2013 By 15 Comments
My long-time readers have seen me, and thereby this website, through a number of new eating adventures…new diagnosis and many trial and errors. As you know, I have celiac. Two of my 5 children show signs of gluten-intolerance but have not tested positive for celiac. Still, maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle has benefited them greatly. Even […]

Baked Spaghetti with Zucchini Noodles
March 13, 2013 By 7 Comments
Recipe development is an interesting thing. No doubt we all go about it in our own way, but for me it starts with a memory, a craving or a challenge from a friend or follower. Yep, I have been known to turn my kitchen upside down to help someone reconnect with an old food love […]
Coconut Flour Country Biscuits
February 27, 2013 By 21 Comments
Biscuits are one of those cherished southern foods my grandfather was an expert at. Learning how to make these dairy-free proved to be a mild challenge…making them gluten-free? Difficult to say the least. My largest challenge came after discovering that I am sensitive to nuts. Over the last several years I have played with dozens […]
Not Your Momma’s Meatloaf
February 20, 2013 By 10 Comments
Meatloaf. Love it or leave it, undoubtedly your mom had some version of meatloaf that would occasionally grace your table growing up. I’ve had many guests through the years raise an eyebrow when I offer them a dinner of this traditionally dry, often unpleasing hunk of meat…these same guests seem surprisingly pleased when they take […]
