Recipe: Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Soup

Fall and winter are the time for warm soups!  I don’t care for canned soup very much, but I forget to make my own.  I do like the Pacific Foods soups and I tried a roasted red pepper and tomato one.  I wanted to make something similar that would be grain free that I could [...]

Recipe – almond flour biscuits

These turned out pretty good, so I thought I would share the recipe!

It’s kind of based on the 1-minute muffin recipe.  When going grain free, the biggest challenge is wanting baked goods.  You all know I love the coconut flour, but I wanted to try the almond flour as it is a little [...]

The nice part about this recipe? 3 ingredients.

Lifting and liquor

To the left is what is called the cardio deck.  It is a raised area in the center of the [...]

Gluten Free Pumpkin Scones

Recipe: Country Captain Chicken

Another new-to-me recipe this week! I pulled out a Weight Watchers cookbook that I won in a giveaway.

Here is the Amazon linkie for that if you want to get this book. It actually has some good recipes in it!

Today’s choice? Best-Ever Country Captain Chicken.

I am not sure who the captain is or [...]

Gluten Free Banana Bread

This was my first real foray into an alternative flour blend.  I have used coconut flour with good success, but wanted something with a different texture.  So while out shopping this weekend, I picked up 2 things.  One was xantham gum and one was some Bob’s Red Mill GF flour.  I decided to make [...]

Crockpot Pork with Peppers and Rice

Yay – the first new recipe of the month!  It is much cooler today – in the upper 60s and gray.  So that meant a warmer dinner and an easy fix-and-forget type dinner. The recipe actually calls for beef, but we had ground pork on had, so that is what we used.  This recipe is [...]

Super easy and no fancy ingredients (aka no coconut flour – surprise!).

Ingredients:
