Recipe
Raw Macadamia Nut Milk

Macadamia nut milk is so easy to make using a high-powered blender! Macadamia nuts don't need to be soaked before blending like other nuts do. If you are looking for a low-oxalate nut milk, try this recipe!

Gluten-Free Pizza

Gluten-free pizza night can be a fun family ritual! This pizza crust recipe is similar to traditional gluten pizza dough, just with less rising time. The dough does not need to be pre-baked like other gluten-free crusts, you simply create your pizzas and then carefully slide them onto a very hot pizza stone for baking. Try setting out a variety of toppings so everyone can enjoy creating part of a pizza.

Red Quinoa Masala

Red quinoa masala is an Indian-flavored grain-pilaf dish that is delicious served with curries or a legume-based dal. Using red quinoa creates a beautiful presentation and nutrient-rich dish. I like to serve this with the Red Lentil Dal along with a yogurt-cucumber sauce.

Amaranth and Sun-Dried Tomato Crackers

These beautiful gluten-free crackers are speckled with black chia seeds and little chunks of red tomato. Serve them with pesto or hummus for dipping, or with a good quality raw organic cheese. When I make this recipe I double, or triple it so I can have a jar of crackers on the counter ready for school lunches or an on-the-go snack. In this recipe, I use my own homemade Sun-Dried Tomatoes, but you can also use organic dehydrated tomatoes found at your local health food store.

Chocolate Avocado Frosting

This heart-healthy frosting is full of monounsaturated fats from the avocados and is very rich and creamy. Avocados contain oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that has been shown to be protective against heart disease and beneficial in reducing inflammation. Use this frosting with your favorite cupcake recipe. This recipe makes enough to frost one dozen cupcakes; double the recipe for a layered cake.

Mustard Green, Chicken, and Ginger Fried Rice

This easy-to-digest and nourishing stir-fry is designed for those who have a very limited diet, don't have the energy to cook, and need to increase the consumption of healing, anti-inflammatory foods. Use any type of ground meat in this recipe, however, I prefer ground chicken or ground light meat turkey. Serve with Low-FODMAP Chimichurri Sauce for a delicious anti-inflammatory meal!

Low-FODMAP Chimichurri Sauce

Chimichurri sauce is usually loaded with fresh garlic, which is off-limits during a low-FODMAP diet. Here I have created an anti-inflammatory low-FODMAP and low-histamine chimichurri sauce for those on limited diets. It is delicious dolloped over a rice and chicken stir-fry, on hamburgers wrapped in lettuce leaves, or on top of scrambled eggs in the morning!

Beef, Zucchini, and Kale Fried Rice

Make this easy and nourishing fried rice dish when you are short on time! Use leftover white rice or quickly cook a batch in your Instant Pot before making this recipe. It's preferable to have cooled or cold rice for fried rice recipes, so it doesn't clump up when adding it to the pan. You can quickly cool down your freshly cooked rice by spreading it out to cool on a cookie sheet or large glass baking dish.

Chicken, Ginger, and Coconut Soup

Using an Instant Pot saves time and creates very tender meat! Make this easy and nourishing soup when you are short on time and need to increase your consumption of healing, anti-inflammatory foods. This soup tastes best when you use a homemade low-FODMAP chicken broth for the base, but water works as well!

Gluten-Free Zucchini Muffins

These zucchini muffins are a great way to use up some of that summer zucchini harvest! Feel free to include other additions such as dark chocolate chips, raisins, or cinnamon if your diet allows for these.

Instant Pot Turkey-Sweet Potato Chili

Serve this smokey chipotle-spiced turkey chili with cooked brown rice or cornbread for a hearty winter meal! I often like to add chopped kale or collard greens at the end of cooking time for more nutrients. Other vegetables you might consider adding in place of (or in addition to) the sweet potatoes are diced zucchini, frozen corn, or diced carrots!

Apple-Plum Sauce

This recipe is perfect to make in autumn when apples and plums are at their peak! You can follow my directions for canning the applesauce below, or place the cooked sauce into jars and freeze it. Frozen or canned applesauce will last for up to a year.

Chocolate Banana Avocado Milkshake

If you are craving something sweet, cold, and refreshing, try this recipe! The avocado provides healthy fats and a smooth, creamy texture. Use organic raw cacao powder, which is full of antioxidants! This recipes makes a great after school snack for children or a quick, nutritious breakfast. If you are making this for breakfast I would suggest adding a scoop or two of collagen peptides or a protein powder for extra amino acids.

Blueberry Juice Dressing

Blueberry juice is tart and tangy, perfect for creating an antioxidant-rich vinegar-free dressing! Try this low-histamine dressing on a lettuce salad or as a marinade for chicken!

Mango Macadamia Nut Salad

Make this delicious salad during mango season in the spring! I prefer to use the creamy, velvety, and sweet ataulfo mangoes for this recipe (and for all mango recipes), but you can use any mango variety. Use raw or dry roasted macadamia nuts, whichever you have on hand. The low-histamine blueberry juice dressing below is delicious, but my Lime Vinaigrette recipe also works well!

Chicken Verde Enchiladas

These enchiladas are so flavorful and delicious, but do take some time to prepare. I would suggest making a double batch and freezing some in small rectangular serving-size glass containers before baking. This way you will have a homemade meal ready to go in the oven for another night, or a snack that hungry teenagers can pull out of the freezer and put into the oven! Serve the enchiladas with cooked brown basmati rice and shredded green cabbage tossed with my Cilantro Vinaigrette.

Orange Hazelnut Thumbprint Cookies (gluten-free + vegan)

Hazelnuts are abundant here in the Pacific Northwest, often scattered beneath trees like hidden treasures. When my children were little, they’d gather them during autumn walks—tiny gifts from the forest floor that sparked endless imagination and play. In this recipe, hazelnut meal forms the base of a tender, naturally gluten-free cookie with a rich, toasty flavor. You can easily make your own by grinding whole hazelnuts in a food processor, or purchase it online—just be sure to store it in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness.

These cookies are the perfect nutrient-dense treat for a breastfeeding mother or after-school snack for your children. They also make a great breakfast cookie! Replace the raisins with chocolate chips if desired, or add them in addition to the raisins!

Beef Ragù

Beef ragù is a very tender braised beef roast in a rich tomato sauce. It is typically served with egg noodles such as pappardelle or tagliatelle. For a low-carb option, serve the ragù over baked spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. Traditional ragù is slow-cooked in a Dutch oven for many hours, however, an Instant Pot can create the same results in just 35 minutes! Serve ragù with a green salad and my Everyday Salad Dressing or Red Wine Vinaigrette.

Persian Cucumber Tomato Salad

Persian cucumber salad is a traditional Middle Eastern salad that originated in Shirazi, Iran. It is also often called Shirazi salad because of this. The fresh flavors of this salad pair well with just about any type of Middle Eastern meat and rice dishes. Persian cucumbers are small, tender cucumbers with a mild flavor. If you can't find them, then use an equal amount of English cucumbers.

Roasted Paprika Chicken and Potatoes

This simple and delicious chicken dinner takes little time to prepare. You can prep dinner and then walk away while it's cooking. After the chicken comes out of the oven, steam some broccoli while the chicken rests. If you don't have a large cast iron skillet, use a 9x13-inch baking dish instead.

Cassava Flour Brownies

Cassava flour is a grain-free, nut-free flour made from dehydrating and grinding cassava root. Tapioca flour is the starch extract from cassava root. Cassava flour can work as a 1:1 replacement for wheat flour in many recipes. Try these easy-to-make cassava flour brownies sweetened with coconut sugar!

Fried Chickpea Salad with Broccoli Sprouts and Watermelon Radishes

Watermelon radishes have a pale greenish-white skin on the outside that gets peeled off to reveal a gorgeous watermelon-colored flesh on the inside. These radishes are mild-tasting and very crispy—perfect for a salad! If you don't have any cooked chickpeas on hand, use one can. It's important that they are completely cool before frying them. Serve salad with Coconut Curry Braised Chicken, or on its own for a nourishing lunch!

This coconut curry chicken is so easy to make—just prep and walk away! Come back a few hours later to chicken so tender it falls off the bone. Serve with steamed broccoli and basmati rice, or, for a low-carb option, serve with riced cauliflower.

Sesame-Ginger Cabbage Slaw

Rustic Teff Caraway Bread

The combination of teff flour and caraway seeds creates a gluten-free bread reminiscent of whole grain rye bread! A cast iron Dutch oven is essential, as it helps to form a nice crust on this bread. Serve bread with a warming winter vegetable and bean stew for a hearty meal.

Mushroom-Lentil Bolognese Sauce

This is a great meal to make when you don't have a lot of time to cook dinner. An Instant Pot allows for a nutrient-dense vegan spaghetti dinner in under 30 minutes! While the sauce is cooking, cook up a package or two of your favorite type of spaghetti noodle. Pictured here are organic brown rice spaghetti noodles. This sauce stores and freezes well, so you may want to make a double batch in order to have leftovers on hand! Serve pasta and bolognese with a green salad topped with my Everyday Salad Dressing.

Egg Breakfast Salad

Curried Chickpea Tacos

These plant-based antioxidant-rich tacos are always a crowd-pleaser! My children devour them. The pan-fried curried chickpeas are addicting! Use your favorite homemade or store-bought tortillas. Pictured here are my homemade grain-free Almond Flour Tortillas. If you are following a nut-free or elimination diet then use these Gluten-Free Brown Rice Flour Tortillas.

Turmeric-Lemon Grilled Chicken and Carrots

This easy grilling recipe can be served as a party appetizer or a main dish. If serving for dinner, I like to complement this dish with a bowlful of steamed kale, steamed green beans, or a Cabbage and Fennel Slaw. A small amount of antioxidant-rich black rice is another wonderful addition if your diet allows grains.

Cabbage and Fennel Slaw with Mint and Lime

This light and zesty slaw is more than just a side—it’s a refreshing way to support your body’s natural detoxification pathways. Cabbage is rich in sulfur-containing compounds and fiber that promote liver function and digestive health, while fresh mint and lime add a bright, cleansing lift. Serve it with poached salmon, grilled chicken, or chickpea tacos for a vibrant, phytonutrient-rich meal. Use a very sharp knife or a food processor with a thin slicing disc to get the perfect texture. No mint? Try flat-leaf parsley or cilantro for a fresh, nourishing twist.

Poached Halibut with Tomatoes and Fresh Herbs

Serve this simple fish dish with Creamy Polenta or Pine Nut Studded Rice and a fresh green salad. For a low-carb or keto option, serve over a bed of steamed kale. If halibut is unavailable, you can use wild salmon instead—it’s equally delicious!

Spicy Kohlrabi-Lime Slaw

Here in the Pacific Northwest, kohlrabi can be planted beginning in March, yielding a harvest beginning in mid-May. Kohlrabi has a mild cruciferous flavor and a nice crunch. It works very well in fresh slaws and salads. I also love to use it as a "chip" for bean dips. Kohlrabi is a cruciferous vegetable, helping to upregulate detoxification pathways in the body.

Chipotle-Lime Tempeh Tacos

These easy plant-based tacos are made with tempeh, a fermented soy bean product. Tempeh doesn't have any flavor so it takes on whatever flavors you give it. The longer you let it marinate, the more intense the flavors become. Serve these tacos with your basic taco fixings: salsa, avocado, and shredded cabbage or lettuce—or use my Spicy Kohlrabi-Lime Slaw instead (pictured here).

Sautéed Kohlrabi Greens with Lemon and Garlic

If you grow kohlrabi in your garden you know about having a surplus of kohlrabi greens at harvest time! I love using the greens as a wrap for a quick lunch. We fill them with leftover cooked chicken, avocado, onions, and broccoli sprouts! They can also be sautéed like this, or added to soups and stews in place of kale. Kohlrabi greens are similar to collard greens, but they're much more tender and mild-tasting. You can use collard greens in this recipe if you don't have any kohlrabi greens.

Cabbage & Apple Slaw with Mustard and Cider Vinegar

Serve this simple cabbage slaw with baked chicken breasts or grilled chicken thighs and roasted delicata squash for an easy weeknight meal! Be sure to use a sweet apple such as Braeburn, Gala, or Red Delicious. The sweetness from the apple perfectly complements the tangy cider vinegar and mustard in the dressing.

Recipe
Kohlrabi, Fennel, and Citrus Slaw

Kohlrabi is a cruciferous vegetable with a delectable, light flavor. I prefer to eat it raw in salads or slaws, or sliced into rounds and used as a "chip" for dips! Kohlrabi has a fibrous peel that is best removed before using; I usually use a sharp paring knife to remove it. Serve this light and flavorful kohlrabi and fennel salad for a springtime brunch with poached eggs and grain-free biscuits for a nourishing meal.
