2 tablespoons raw, local honey
2 tablespoons raw apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard seeds (ground)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Step 1
Heat oil in medium saucepan. Saute onion over medium-high heat until soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in tomato paste and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer until sauce is the texture of ketchup, about 5 more minutes.

Ingredients

1 medium banana
1/3 cup wild blueberries
1/3 cup cherries
1 tablespoon chia seeds (soaked for 2 minutes, then stirred)
1 tablespoon nut butter of choice
2 teaspoons barley grass juice powder
1 teaspoon chaga powder
1 teaspoon reishi powder
1 teaspoon flax oil
1 heaped tablespoon spirulina powder
1 tablespoon nut butter
1 teaspoon flax oil

Step 1
Place all ingredients except for flax oil into a blender; process until smooth.
Step 2
Pour blended ingredients into a glass. Stir in flax oil.

Ingredients

1/3 cup ghee or coconut oil (melted)
6 large pasture-raised eggs
1 cup palm sugar, coconut sugar, succanat or rapidura
1/2 cup cocoa powder (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coconut flour (sifted)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease an 8″ x 8″ baking dish.

Whisk cocoa powder, coconut flour, salt and sugar together. Blend in coconut oil.

Whisk eggs and vanilla together. Mix with dry ingredients.

Pour batter into baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Ingredients

4 large sweet potatoes (I prefer hannah yams. They’re creamier and not as sweet as sweet potatoes.)
1/4 cup coconut oil or ghee
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1/2 cup applesauce (preferably homemade)
2 teaspoons fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 large apples (peeled, cored and sliced into 1-inch slices)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F. Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet or Silpat and bake until until tender, 80-90 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

Scoop out insides of potatoes and place in electric mixer bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of ghee and coconut milk, and mix on medium speed with paddle attachment until smooth. Add in applesauce, ginger and salt.

Transfer mixture to baking dish and bake for 10 minutes.

Cook apples in remaining coconut oil until soft, about 10 minutes. Place apples on top of sweet potato mixture and serve.

Ingredients

For the crust:

1-1/2 cup almond flour
3/4 cups whole pecans (soaked overnight, rinsed, drained and dehydrated)
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 tablespoons raw, local honey
1 large pasture-raised egg
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I prefer Celyon cinnamon)
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

For the filling:

1 medium pie pumpkin
1/2 cup almond milk or coconut milk
3 large pasture-raised eggs
1 large pasture-raised egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I prefer Celyon cinnamon)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground clove
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup raw, local honey

Directions

For the crust:

Add the pecans to a food processor and process until they have turned into a coarse flour. Add the rest of the crust ingredients and process for 15 seconds, until a dough forms.

Press the dough into a pie plate, spreading it up the sides and covering the bottom. Price a few shallow holes in the crust with a fork to keep it from bubbling when baking.

Bake the crust at 325F for 10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and cool for 10 minutes, then place in the freezer for 20 minutes.

For the filling:

Cut pumpkin in half; scoop out seeds. Place halves in a steamer basket and steam on the stove over for 20-30 minutes, or until soft. Scoop out filling.

Put 2c. of pumpkin filling into a medium bowl; freeze the rest for later use. Whisk remaining ingredients together with filling. Pour the filling into frozen pie crust.

Bake at 350F for 35 minutes or until the custard has set but is still slightly jiggly in the center. Remove from oven and refrigerate until chilled.

Ingredients

3/4 cups wild rice (soaked overnight, rinsed and drained)
3/4 cups brown basmati rice (soaked overnight, rinsed and drained)
4 cups cold, filtered water or homemade broth
1 piece kombu (kelp)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 cup pecans (soaked overnight, rinsed, drained and dehydrated)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or ghee
1 medium onion (peeled and diced)
3 large celery ribs (diced)
8oz shiitake mushrooms (thinly sliced)
2 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
1-1/2 tablespoon fresh sage or thyme (minced)
1 large carrot (peeled and diced)

Directions

Combine rice, broth, kombu and sea salt in a medium pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 45 minutes. Drain grains and set aside.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325F. Adjust oven rack to middle shelf. Spread pecans on a cookie sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Coarsely chop.

In a wide heavy skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil. Saute onions over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent stick. Add carrots and saute for 3 minutes. Stir in celery with a pinch of sea salt; continue cooking another 5 minutes. Add garlic and sage; saute another minute. Remove from pan.

Wipe out pan and heat another 3 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add in mushrooms and saute until light brown. Add in other vegetables, rice, pecans and parsley. Stir to combine.

Ingredients

2 cups almond meal
pinch sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I prefer Celyon cinnamon)
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup raw, local honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Filling:

1/2 cup apple juice (freshly juiced, if possible)
1/2 large lemon (freshly squeezed)
2 teaspoons grass-fed gelatin
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I prefer Celyon cinnamon)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (freshly grated, if possible)
3 large apples
2 large pears

Directions

Preheat oven to 350F.

Whisk together apple juice, lemon juice, gelatin and filling spices in a medium-sized bowl.

Peel, core and slice apples and pears to 1/4″ thick. Add them to juice mixture. Stir to coat. Transfer to an oiled 9″ pie pan.

Combine almond meal, salt and spices in a medium bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut oil, honey and vanilla. Pour into bowl of dry topping ingredients. Using your hands or a spoon, mix together until a coarse dough forms. Mixture will be crumbly. Crumble mixture on top of the apples and pears in the baking dish.

Cover the top of dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool 15-20 minutes before serving.

Benefits to Eating Gluten Free Dairy Free Foods

Many people are discovering that cutting out gluten and dairy can have profound benefits for their health. For starters, both of these foods are very constipating, so removing them can help relieve bloating and constipation.

In addition, gluten and casein can escape the intestines of people with leaky guts. When they reach the brain, they can activate the same receptors as morphine and heroin, making your child who’s just eaten macaroni and cheese seem as if they are on drugs, acting very spacey and unfocused. Thus, removing gluten and dairy foods can improve your child’s attention.
