If you are following a grain-free, paleo, or corn-free diet, then be sure to make a big batch of this baking powder and store in a labeled jar in your pantry. Use it anywhere baking powder is called for.
Who doesn't love a crispy roasted potato? These potatoes are seasoned with fresh herbs and parmesan cheese for the ultimate roasted potato. Serve with a whole roasted chicken, seared pork chops, or baked salmon and a green salad for a tasty and nutritious dinner.
Making your own bone broth is so easy, especially with the Instant Pot! Anytime you roast or cook bone-in chicken (chicken thighs, chicken legs, chicken breasts, or whole chickens), save the bones and skin until you have enough to make a rich batch of bone broth. You can add the leftover bones and skin to a container in your freezer and then dump it all into the Instant Pot when you are ready. I like to add other aromatics to create more flavors such as whole black peppercorns, fresh thyme, rosemary, garlic, leeks, onions, celery, and carrots.
This recipe for the classic hamburger is sure to satisfy your cravings. Customize it to your taste by adding your favorite toppings such as a homemade aioli, mustard, pickles, sliced red onion, tomato, lettuce, sliced cheese, avocado, caramelized onions, or crispy uncured bacon. Use your favorite purchased hamburger buns or make your own Gluten-Free Hamburger Buns or Grain-Free Burger Buns.
Carne asada is ridiculously easy to make and incredibly flavorful! This recipe can also easily be adapted to fit your particular diet (see modifications). We like to use homemade Brown Rice Flour Tortillas for serving, however, for a paleo or grain-free version, use homemade Cassava Tortillas. I use blood oranges for the marinade, but you can substitute regular oranges if needed. Serve the carne asada with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
This is a great meal prep recipe to make! You can keep the cooked chicken breasts in your refrigerator and make wraps, lettuce salads topped with grilled chicken, or serve them fresh off the grill with baked potatoes or baked sweet potatoes and steamed green beans.
The process of making creme fraîche is identical to yogurt, but heavy cream is used instead of milk, giving it a very rich and creamy flavor. I ferment mine for 24 hours in a yogurt maker, therefore it is suitable for lactose-free diets such as low-FODMAP, GAPS, and SCD.
This sheet pan meal is bright and fresh and perfect for serving for a spring or summer dinner. Serve it as it is, or alongside these Herb Roasted Potatoes and a Green Salad.

Poaching salmon is a way to infuse flavors into the fish while it is cooking over low heat on the stove. It's also a very quick way to prepare salmon! Serve over cooked White Basmati Rice for a complete meal. If you are following a low-carb or keto diet, then serve over Cauliflower Rice.
This festive autumn salad pairs well with roasted turkey breast, chicken, or a hearty vegetable bean soup. You will need to cook 1½ cups of wild rice to equal 6 cups cooked.

This salad is a complete meal. Serve it in the summertime when your garden is overflowing with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, and lettuce. This salad pairs well with Rosemary Sea Salt Breadsticks.
This dressing recipe is so nutritious and flavorful that it might become a family favorite. Walnuts are an excellent source of healthy fats, and recent research shows that eating walnuts can improve brain function and memory. Soaking walnuts overnight makes them more digestible and also creates a creamy white salad dressing!
Serve these lovely muffins as an after-school snack to your children. Oats are high in beta-glucans, which serve as a substrate for Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli bacteria in the gut. These bacteria then produce short-chain fatty acids which nourish the cells lining the gut. Look for organic rolled oats to minimize pesticide exposure. If you are gluten-free, then choose organic rolled oats that are also certified gluten-free.
This satisfying snack comes together quickly and is easy enough that a school-aged child can make it. If they aren't yet ready to cut vegetables, you can slice the cucumbers and onions ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator so they are easily accessible. Make your own hummus, or look for a local brand of hummus made with olive oil.
These turkey and cheese roll-ups are great for a nutrient-dense and filling snack or light lunch.

Sheet pan meals are the ultimate dish to prepare on weeknights when you are short on time. This dish was designed to use ingredients that you are likely to have in your kitchen already—other vegetables such as zucchini, green beans, cauliflower, mushrooms, and red onion could be used in place of the ones suggested here, if you prefer.
Making our own corn tortillas is a fun family activity; my twin boys like to mix the masa and water together, while my girls like to press the dough into tortillas and cook them. Use homemade tortillas for chicken fajitas, black bean tacos, or Fish Tacos. Be sure to purchase organic masa harina to avoid consuming genetically engineered food.
This snack is a great one for kids to make for themselves! They can practice spreading and slicing the soft bananas, and you can put a few chia seeds, hemp seeds, and cinnamon in a tiny bowl for younger children to sprinkle on themselves.
This low-FODMAP whole-grain salad is hearty and holds up well in the fridge, making it the perfect lunchbox meal. Serve it over a bed of baby greens for an extra serving of vegetables.

These roasted potatoes are packed with a bright lemon flavor, and they're the perfect side dish to serve with any herb-roasted chicken or fish, such as a Whole Roasted Chicken with Lemon and Herbs, Lemon Butter Roasted Chicken with Green Olives, or Herb Roasted Halibut. Because of all of the liquid in this recipe, the potatoes will not end up crispy, but very tender.
These high-protein muffins make a great snack when on a restrictive diet. I like to cook butternut squash in my Instant Pot to have on hand for muffins or to serve as a simple side dish. Serve warm muffins with raw honey and coconut butter for a treat!

Incorporating sea vegetables into your weekly diet is one of the healthiest things you can do. Seaweed is a rich source of iodine, a mineral needed to make thyroid hormones. Serve this refreshing salad with baked fish or adzuki beans and brown rice.
We have a black currant bush in our garden that produces so many berries. My children will pick the berries by the handfuls and bring them into the kitchen for me to deal with. We simply cannot eat them all right away. I like to toss them into our green smoothies, make strawberry-currant-honey jam, and make this nourishing vinegar. You can use this beautiful purple vinegar in salad dressings or eat it by the spoonful as daily medicine.
This raw cheesecake is dairy-free and still ever so rich and creamy! The combination of raw soaked cashews and coconut oil is what makes the “cheese” filling. I use hazelnuts and almonds for the crust but just about any nut will work. If you would like to savor this cheesecake then slice it up and freeze each piece in serving-sized containers. When ready to serve, put a container of frozen cheesecake in the fridge to thaw for a day before serving.
This nutrient dense lunch or snack will keep you energized all day. Soaked pumpkin seeds are more digestible and also easy to blend down into a paste. Add your favorite veggies to the nori rolls along with the pâté. Try sliced cucumbers, red bell peppers, shredded carrots, or microgreens!
Serve this spicy Korean noodle salad for lunch or dinner! Add a few extra hardboiled eggs for more protein. Jjolmyeon is a type of Korean noodle typically used in this dish that is made from wheat flour and starch, giving it a chewy texture. Using cassava noodles may not be traditional, but it does make it grain-free and gluten-free! This noodle dish also typically uses a spicy Korean red chili powder or paste—instead, I have created a dressing that uses ingredients most home cooks have in their pantries.
