Sugar Free Creme Brulee!
Who doesn’t love Creme Brulee? It’s an expensive, fancy dish that is usually only available at fancy restaurants, but if made properly, this is a very nutritious, low-carb and sugar free dessert! Read the rest of this entry »
Menu Plan Monday: Low-Carb, Grain-Free
Low-carb, Grain-Free Menu
Well, even though it’s a little late in coming, here’s the menu plan for the week. Just for the record, I *did* have it written up Saturday night! Unfortunately my two-year-old attacked my computer keyboard so some key letters are missing, making it a bit difficult to type. I’m hoping this won’t affect my posting this week!

Menu Plan Monday
This week’s menu is going to be a bit of a crap shoot since we just got back into town late last night (read: early this Morning) from Santa Rosa, CA. Thankfully we managed to eat well while on the road (thanks to a cooler full of homemade stuff and a local Trader Joe’s) but it means that we’re back home to an empty (clean!) fridge (thanks, honey!!!!) So here’s what I’m thinking: Read the rest of this entry »
Grain-Free, Lenten Menu Plan
Another Lenten menu this week, with some ambitious creations, like “lentil sloppy joes“. You can imagine my elation when I realized last week that lentils are allowed on the GAPS diet! Read the rest of this entry »

This week is considered “clean week” for Orthodox Christians. Strictly speaking, the Orthodox abstain from meat, dairy, eggs, and fish for the next 40 days in observance of Lent.

The challenge this week is to not only use what I have and clean out my fridge & pantry, but to also keep things nutrient-dense and low-cost. Read the rest of this entry »

GAPS Menus Plan: Grain-free
As I mentioned in a previous post, we are going back to the GAPS diet for my daughter. Since GAPS is a healthy way of eating anyway, we’re all going to eat GAPS. Thankfully, I’ve had no difficulty finding delicious meals to cook. I’ve been using Rachel Albert-Matesz’s The Garden of Eating recipe book as a guide this past few weeks and every single dish I’ve made is absolutely delicious and satiating! And, to boot, I’ve lost 2 pounds!
