Dairy-free Pistachio Pudding: Gluten-free, No-cook, Vegan

February 9, 2012 Grain Free Diet

I love pistachio pudding, but the mix that comes in a box is made with things my body hates, so my determined sweet tooth is always trying to hack the heck out of original recipes so that it can get what it wants without upsetting its partner, the digestive track.

Almost a year later, I finally opened the spiralizer that Dustin bought me for Valentine’s Day! It’s even better than I imagined it would be. Look what it makes: Zucchini spaghetti! So much fun.

Epic Turkey BLAT

November 17, 2011 Grain Free Diet

My favorite type of food in the whole world is a sandwich. It’s also my favorite food to prepare. I feel like I’m building a holy temple when I construct one. I don’t like sloppy sandwiches, I prefer them to be uniform and layered accordingly. Things get real up in the kitchen when the bread [...]

The Worst Cell Phone Pics You Have Ever Seen

November 15, 2011 Diets

I went to my doctor’s appointment for my sinus woes yesterday. She agreed that I need something beyond my home remedies, but did give me the OK to take Mucinex-D, too. The blood pressure medicine prescription seems to be working; my reading yesterday was 126/78 down from 142/92 last time. She sent a RX for [...]

Deconstructed

May 11, 2011 Grain Free Diet

One of my favorite things besides sandwiches is a salad modeled after a sandwich that I affectionately refer to as a deconstructed sandwich. Last night, I made a deconstructed Italian combo sub salad, minus the sub part of course. Dustin had the real deal, but with all the gorgeous veggies I picked up the day [...]

Moo-ve Over, Bessy… Coconut Milk Coming Through!

May 10, 2011 Grain Free Diet

I’ve had coconut milk a few times, but I’ve never really HAD coconut milk until this morning. I don’t know what changed, but when I opened the can that I refrigerated overnight and had a taste, I was like, “OMG, this is freakin’ amazing! Buh-bye cow juice!” Well, ok, that’s probably being a bit dramatic, [...]

Grain-free Crackers

January 4, 2011 Grain Free Diet

Last year, when I did a semi-raw and almost grain-free diet I got acquainted with several foods that were total keepers. I’m sure it’s no secret that I’m a breadoholic, but I’m actually quite fond of all finger foods in general; crackers, chips, cookies, raw veggies, etc. Ever since buying a year+ supply of flaxseed [...]
