Egg, gluten and dairy free pancakes and cupcakes
Let’s face it. A majority of the gluten-free products out there are terrible. I knew there was a way to make them tasty. For a while I was relying on King Arthur Flour gluten-free mixes which are truly awesome in taste but I find the cake and cookie mixes to be excessively sweet. Then this […]
Party recipes
This past weekend I had a 2nd birthday party for our daughter Pema and there were a few requests for recipes. I tried to make healthy and nutrient dense dishes that were vegetarian to appeal to all of my guests. I can’t disclose my Mom’s green bean kohlrabi fried rice because even if I were […]
Simple avocado soup
I’ve seen recipes for chilled avocado soup all over the place but have been hesitant to make it because it always sounded gross to me…until one week when my Mom and I bought too many avocados at the Hollywood market. I also happened to get a large English cucumber that week. So I threw the […]

Gluten free chocolate oatmeal cookies
So I came across this awesome gluten free blog called Cake and Commerce. This East coaster works in the commercial food industry and specializes in foods for gluten intolerant people. She happens to also appreciate whole unprocessed foods so I think I’ll be following her blog in the future. She had a recipe that looked […]
Tea for your kid’s cold (or yours)
Yesterday Pema had a little cold with runny nose and sneezing so I made her a little tea that she sipped all day long. She kicked the cold and was totally fine today so I thought I’d share this simple recipe. Handful of fresh peppermint leaves (appropriate for first onset cold symptoms) 10 sprigs […]
Gluten free cake!
I’ve been experimenting a bit with coconut flour. It sucks up a lot of moisture so one doesn’t need to use much in baking. I modified a recipe I found on www.nourishedkitchen.com and it came out INCREDIBLE. Zero gluten and a ton of fat. So for those of you who can’t tolerate gluten but dairy […]
Pancakes
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve only recently made pancakes. I’ve actually never really liked them so much because I’ve always found them so heavy in my stomach in the morning. Oh and not to mention the blood sugar rush. I was inspired by my friend Caylie to make the Buckwheat Pear Pancake recipe from […]
High ORAC index curry that won’t stress your gall bladder
I like foods with function. And I love curry. So here’s a simple recipe that I have been making a lot that is high in antioxidants (some of these spices are high on the ORAC index) and easy to digest since coconut oil bypasses the gall bladder. Keep in mind that whole spices are the […]
1st birthday party cake recipe with non-dairy frosting
I have searched far and wide for a tasty cake recipe for a 1st birthday that doesn’t include a bunch of crap that I don’t want to feed my baby nor other babies who aren’t ready for wheat, sugar, etc. So I tweaked a few regular cake recipes that I thought would be baby-friendly and […]
