Looking for another little bite of sweet and chocolate or a small snack to hold you over? This is a perfect side -kick to peanut butter balls to have in your fridge at all times. This is another treat my daughter, with gut issues, can have so, I’m making sure I have them in her…
CAULIFLOWER COLCANNON
This was a year to seek out new dishes to grace our Thanksgiving table that tasted amazing and everyone could eat. My daughter has gut issues and is on a very limited diet until we find out what caused the gut issues in the first place. I considered this my CHALLENGE and started hunting down…
MASHED SWEET POTATOES
DING DING DING!! Still on the search for those Thanksgiving (or any special Holiday treat) dishes that look good, tastes amazing and only contain the foods approved for people with gut issues. This checks all the boxes and it’s so easy to make. I know this will be a staple at my house and not…
SUGAR FREE BAKED APPLES
The only kind of sweetener my daughter can have is pure maple syrup so I came up with an experiment to see if a baked apple dish, without sugar, would appeal to the Thanksgiving crowd. SUCCESS!!!! My grand daughter arranged the slices for curb appeal and a cute pie dish completed the picture. I have…
TOFU SCRAMBLE
I can see your face screw up when you see the word TOFU but I’m pretty confident even people that don’t think they like TOFU will like this recipe. There is so much flavor going on and so many textures that the TOFU blends in and you won’t miss the eggs!! I have made this,…
KITCHEN SINK SOUP

GLUTEN FREE, EGG FREE, DAIRY FREE BANANA MUFFINS

PROBIOTICS CAN BE FOUND IN FOOD
Probiotics aid in gut health and we hear about all sorts of supplements that provide probiotics. I wondered if I could find probiotics in food and I was amazed with the answer. Fermented foods or cultured products provide the probiotic so it’s different kinds of food than we might be used to….or… we love these…
7 LAYER SALAD
How did this not get into the blog till now? This is just possibly the best all round salad ever and it’s easy to prepare. makes a lot and last in the frig (even w/dressing) for 3 days. It won’t last that long cause it’s a family pleaser! I think the reason it was slow…
CHICKEN CACCIATORE
As a little girl, I called this “Kitchen Cacciatore”and it was a family favorite. Traditionally, this dish is served with a pasta, spaghetti, fettuccine or linguini. My Mom always paired it with corn and boiled parsley and buttered potatoes. I put the yummy sauce over everything!!! This is an easy dish to put together and…
