Last year I went grain-free for a few months until I realized that I personally needed to include some grains in my diet to stay healthy. Even though I’m a happy grain-eater, it doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy the goodness of grain-free recipes, especially during the holidays when breads, sugar, and other goodies are...

Thinking outside the chicken box: Chicken Livers with Dijonnaise Sauce and Charred Corn
In America, we eat a lot of chicken, and even more corn. But we don’t eat these great foods the way we should. Chicken is often loaded with antibiotics, contaminated with pathogens and downright flavorless. As for corn, don’t get me started… alright, since you’re forcing my hand. The corn produced in the U.S. is mostly consumed...
Eggs Benedict on Polenta Cakes with Pesto Hollandaise ~ Gluten Free
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 I’m pretty sure my favorite breakfast food is eggs benedict. Perfectly poached eggs with velvety hollandaise sauce…doesn’t get much more delicious than that. I had a craving for eggs benedict but it was the...
Grilled Lamb Chops with Tapenade Aioli
My husband really hates anchovies. Actually I think he just loves to hate anchovies because I manage to get a “this is delicious” out of him almost every time I sneak anchovies into a recipe. This recipe is a perfect example of using nutrient-dense ingredients like anchovies, egg yolks and organic lamb to make a...
Lentil Vegetable Soup + Bone Marrow Broth
This recipe features the goodness of lentils and an array of vegetables, but also a base of a homemade bone marrow broth. You don’t have to make the broth, but it is what makes this recipe especially nutritious. Why should I eat this? Did you know that lentils are a fantastic source of folate? Folate...
Vegetable Quinoa Salad + Bonus Quinoa Chicken Salad Recipe
Healthy, bright, colorful, warm, energizing, delicious. It’s summertime and I’m busy going from the pool to the beach and now to my daughter’s ballet recital… In other words, I don’t have much to say except that this recipe is light and delicious and I recommend that you make it a summer go-to recipe either as...
Veggie Einkorn Noodle Bowl with Ginger Peanut Sauce (and Grain-Free Option)
I try not to eat a lot of grains on days that I don’t work out, but I do find that I do really well with a grain-based lunch when I know I’ll be working out a lot. I learned the hard way that 100% grain-free isn’t for me. This veggie-loaded dish is full of...
A Spring Quiche
Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth. Hosea 6:3 It has been so beautiful here lately as we enjoy spring at its finest. While I’m trying to...
Crispy Potato Cakes with Herb and Scallion Cream
These simple little potato cakes are seriously delicious and so easy to make. I recommend making a double batch (or triple) and keeping it in the fridge for a few days to fry up fresh because they’re going to disappear quickly. Crispy fried potatoes…what could be wrong? Crispy Potato Cakes with Herb and Scallion Cream...

It’s been warming up here in Southern California (80 degrees the next few days!!!). Warm weather make us feel like bathing in the sun and eating tacos with fresh herbs and vegetables and juicy, flavored meat....
