What started out as cocoa rice crispy cereal turned into cocoa hazelnut rice crispy treats. I love both, but then again I love almost anything involving chocolate. This is another variation on rice c...
Fruit leather packs a sweet, tarty chew that’s ready at a moment’s notice. I used strawberries and raspberries for this fruit leather recipe, but you have a lot of options. You can use ju...
Bring together some carrots, parsely, green onions, cumin, eggs, garlic, a lemon, sesame seeds, and a few other delicious ingredients and you have vitamin-rich falafels. This is not your average fala...
I’ve been in search of excuses to eat yogurt tahini sauce recipes that go well with yogurt tahini sauce. Two of my favorites right now are fried cauliflower and falafel (a grain-free AND a glut...
I’m always looking for portable snacks and treats to help keep us going a little longer, whether at school, work, travel, or play. Here’s a light, sweet, gluten-free snack that’s ea...
You may be getting down to the wire on Passover and Easter menu planning (or maybe just I am), so I wanted to share a simple meal that I’m making, in case you’re still in search of ideas ...
I ruminated way too long on what to post next, and the result is that I’m quite a bit late on posting here. I try to post once a week or so, but the recent days and weeks have left me way too b...
Bees are important. To find out why, see this, read this, or search for colony collapse on the Internet. We rely on bees for so many things, and they are a marker for how well the environment is fair...
I’m finally getting around to using coconut flour and nut flour in a single recipe. Both flours offer great health benefits, and can compliment each other in the right ratio and accompanying li...
What do you get when you bring cocoa (cacao), coconut, and almonds together? In this case, very decadent chocolate macaroons. And while I’m not a huge consumer of shredded coconut, I enjoy a fe...
I’ve been playing around with the whole “fry” thing. The butternut squash fries recipe was a hit for many, and for some, well, let’s just say that it didn’t quite satisf...
The only reason I call these brownie bites is because they’re intoxicating, and therefore I suggest you savor these slowly and in small amounts to prevent any sudden overdose of enjoyment. This...
I rarely eat meat, and beef is a definite no for me. And I’m not a fan of buying hot dogs, let alone eating them, but I thought I would get this posted while I’m in the spirit and also ma...
Here’s a little treat I’ve recently added to my day, since it has been highly compressed lately (the day, not the treat). I pop one or more of these (ok, at least three of the mini muffin...
During the December holidays I found some time to read a few books, one of them being The Man Who Couldn’t Eat by Jon Reiner. The Man Who Couldn’t Eat is a memoir based on a story of the ...
I’m so ready to say hello to 2012. Whatever your aspirations, wishes, and goals are for the coming year, I wish you a very happy and healthy New Year. Here’s a recap of the most popular r...
I’m always on the lookout for great salads. I’m forever trying to discover new salad combos and dressings. Here’s my latest salad/slaw obsession. This colorful salad was inspired by...
Fries are… kid food (for the kid in all of us), finger food, salty, sweet, crunchy, munchy, and just plain fun. Especially years ago when I didn’t want to touch much else at fast food res...
When we began to change our diet a few years ago, most commercial ketchup brands had corn syrup in it. Some still do, but even so, if you’re avoiding processed sugars, making your own ketchup e...
‘Tis the season of ginger, butter, and molasses. With all the ginger snap cookie recipes cropping up, I couldn’t resist posting my own version. No brown sugar or molasses here, but lots o...
If you’re thinking that your stuffing has to have bread in it – nope. Not necessary. Here’s one of my favorite stuffing mixtures, which can vary based on what you have on hand. Add ...
There are a couple of things that almond flour does so well, in my humble opinion: scones, cookies, and biscuits. If you haven’t made biscuits using almond flour, do it at least once. This reci...
Here’s what I’ve been eating while on the run this week. It’s fairly quick to make and it’s a recipe based on veggie leftovers. I ran around all day last Saturday, dashing in ...
There’s nothing as good as a warm bowl of soup when you’re feeling some kind of yuck descending over you. Here are two versions of dumplings for your soup, both using almond flour, as wel...
Whoever first asked me for a recipe for pumpkin bread had no idea how obsessed I can become with getting something right. It’s the type A in me. I went from having a marginal interest in pumpki...
After making a deliciously moist pumpkin bread using almond flour, I decided this could be an opportunity for coconut flour to shine. After all, coconut flour certainly does suck up a lot of moisture...
I’ve been asked about a pumpkin bread recipe for over a year now, even though I’ve never made it before and didn’t really have a craving for it, or a request for it on the home fron...
I love beans in soups and salads. And I find beans so easy to use in recipes, even though I don’t have many on Comfy Belly. That may change over time. Here’s an easy recipe for sweet and ...
Tomatoes are still flurrying about in all kinds of shapes and sizes around here, and one of my favorites is the orange cherry tomato. So sweet, I just keep popping them in my mouth until suddenly the...
I’ve always been slightly baffled by the relationship between gluten-intolerance and Celiac Disease. I’ve had my son tested for Celiac Disease at least three times. All tests came back ne...
