GAPS Stuffed Peppers

January 15, 2014

A couple weeks ago I was in the store and I couldn't believe the price of peppers. For three peppers it was the equivalent of $7.00! Am I a cheapskate or is that a little ridiculous for peppers? Anyway, a few days later I spotted a bag on sale and snatched them up, hoping to make stuffed peppers for dinner.

Riced Cauliflower Stir Fry

January 2, 2014

Sometimes you have an idea like riced cauliflower, and in your head it looks so perfect that you decide it'd be easy to just chop the cauliflower by hand rather than use the food processor. In reality, chopping cauliflower is messy and you'll still get giant cauliflower chunks no matter how hard you try so take it from me, bust out the ol' food processor and save yourself the headache. Now that the disclaimer is over, let me just say that apart from the cauliflower explosion all over my kitchen floor, this meal is a win. It's easily customizable, too - just use whatever favorite veggies you've got laying around. I wish I had some carrots on hand to add a little color, but I'll have to use them next time around.

Best Way to Cook Spaghetti Squash

December 15, 2013

For ages I've been baking my spaghetti squash. Every time, I'd subsequently try to convince myself that it actually tasted like pasta, but there was no denying it. It was dry, stringy squash.

While in Dubai, my friend suggested we make spaghetti squash, but her oven was broken. We ended up...

Pin it! GAPS friendly cauliflower tortillas

Cauliflower Tortilla Tapas

November 7, 2013

I started the GAPS diet a month ago and while I do find it to be labor intensive, I am enjoying coming up with interesting meals. Years ago, when I studied in Spain, I fell in love with tapas - small savory plates usually served with a cocktail. This is my take on the beloved finger food and like most things I make, it's pretty versatile. Because the tortilla is grain-free, the consistency comes out like a crepe. It doesn't taste like cauliflower, so from eggs to tofu to chicken, the options are endless. Hope you enjoy.

Pin it! Curried tofu & kale with wild rice recipe.

Curried Tofu and Kale

August 19, 2013

My curry obsession continues with this tofu and kale with wild rice dish. It's light, healthy, and the recipe is fool-proof, allowing for any little tweaks and add-ons that'll suit your taste. If you like it hot, add more chili powder, or if you like it on the sweeter side, add more honey. If you like it mild, this recipe should do as is. It's also really versatile - feel free to sub a different protein for the tofu, or add different vegetables. Hope you enjoy.

Pineapple Ginger Tempeh Bowl

August 16, 2013

This was one of those kitchen experiments that came out really well. (Can't say the same for the vanilla protein ice cream I attempted again, but one of these days I'll get it right.) Anyway, this pineapple ginger tempeh bowl is really customizable - use regular tofu or sub chick peas instead of tempeh, try carrots and spinach instead of green beans and peas - as long as you keep the pineapple ginger base I think you'll be good to go. The quinoa was great too, though you could certainly substitute amaranth or wild rice. I loved the sweetness of the pineapple balanced out by the spicy kick of the ginger. Such a good, light meal. Here's what to do:
