This hearty, warming soup is perfect to make on a chilly autumn or winter evening. I like to use cannellini beans, but other white beans work as well, such as navy or great northern. Serve with a Roasted Delicata Squash Salad for a balanced meal. This soup freezes well—pour into widemouthed jars, cool, and then freeze.

This soup makes the perfect breakfast on day 3 when you are coming off of phase 1. Keep a few jars in your fridge at all times to have on hand for quick meals on the go. Feel free to use 8 cups of your favorite vegetables—try the combination I suggest below or your own creation!

When you have homemade Chicken Broth stocked in your freezer or refrigerator anything is possible when it comes to soup. This recipe comes together quickly and can be made with either chicken thighs or boneless breasts. Serve it with leftover cooked brown rice or white jasmine rice.

Make a pot of this soup on the weekend so you will have ready-to-go food during the week. You can vary this recipe by adding different vegetables to the soup portion. Try shiitake mushrooms, lemongrass, and grated ginger for an Asian-inspired soup. You could also add diced root vegetables such as parsnips, rutabagas, celeriac, turnips, and golden beets for a winter vegetable chicken soup.

This soup makes for a warming, winter meal. Making soup with bone-in, skin-on poultry is a two-part process—first you make a rich broth, then you make the soup. It’s very simple, but it does require a few hours of cooking time so plan on making this soup on the weekend if you work away from your home during the week. If you have an Instant Pot you can save time by making the broth part of this recipe in it (follow my directions below for this variation).

This soup makes a very quick meal as long as you have leftover cooked chicken and baked squash sitting in your refrigerator needing to be used up. I like to use the leftover meat from a whole roasted chicken. Use any type of winter squash—sugar pie pumpkins, butternut squash, hubbard, or acorn. The key to a flavorful soup is starting with a very rich homemade chicken or turkey stock!

The pomegranate juice in this recipe is what I use to replace the acidity tomatoes usually give to beef stew. Look for pure, unsweetened pomegranate juice, not a blend of juices. You can replace the pomegranate juice with homemade beef stock if desired. Serve with baked winter squash and a large green salad for a balanced meal.

Dosas are traditional Indian pancakes or crepes made from soaked and fermented whole grains and beans. They make a great bread replacement! Making dosas is a two-part process—first you soak the grains and beans overnight, then you blend them into a batter and let it ferment. This is one of the most digestible ways to prepare grains and beans. Replace the adzuki beans with black beans, mung beans, black-eyed peas, or chickpeas if desired.

These simple grain-free tortillas are very pliable and tasty! Serve them with your favorite fillings—chicken fajitas, beef tacos, hummus and grated vegetables, or whatever! They are delicious served with the Slow Cooked Mexican Beef Roast, Curried Chickpea Tacos, or Halibut Tacos!

These muffins are so simple to make and very satisfying. Try spreading a hot muffin with coconut butter and raw honey for a delicious sweet treat!

Using high-protein almond flour and very little sweetener makes these muffins a good choice for breakfast. You will feel satiated longer because of the fat and protein found in the almond flour and eggs. Be sure to use “blanched almond flour” which is very finely ground.

Serve these nutritious grain-free muffins for breakfast spread with coconut butter and honey along with sautéed kale and a Chicken Apple Breakfast Sausage. This recipe comes from our Elimination Diet Book and is designed for Phase 3 (for egg reintroduction). 

This delicious bread recipe is designed for the reintroduction of yeast during the late stages of Phase 3 of the Elimination Diet. It’s free of all other irritants making it easy to notice if there is a reaction to yeast. If you find you are able to tolerate yeast then use this bread recipe for sandwiches or toast (toasted in a gluten-free toaster) throughout the rest of the diet. Chia seeds can be found at most health food stores. Grind them in a coffee grinder or high-powered blender.

I like to cook extra salmon when making dinner so I can have it to make big salads for lunch the next day. Use your favorite salad dressing here. I like to use the Green Goddess Dressing!

Serve this nourishing summer salad with fruit and herb infused water, and a platter of sliced, raw summer vegetables. Peaches can replace the nectarine in this recipe!

Delicata squash are a smaller, sweet winter squash with thin skin—so they don’t need to be peeled before roasting or eating!

Use the simple olive oil and apple cider vinegar dressing below, or use another dressing on this site.

This is one of our favorite ways to prepare raw kale! We serve it with everything from baked chicken or fish to pizza and hearty bean soups. It’s even great the next day as leftovers—the kale will soften the longer it sits in the dressing, which makes it more tender and easier to chew.

I usually make some type of version of sautéed kale a few times a week, whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! Serve this quick and easy vegetable dish with baked salmon, roasted chicken, or adzuki beans and quinoa.

This stuffing is made without bread! Using all whole food ingredients, it’s packed with nutrients like beta-carotene, and immune-boosting chemicals. I like to make sure the squash is cut into smaller cubes that are all relatively the same size, which allows for even cooking. To quickly mince the mushrooms, simply toss them all into a food processor fitted with the “s” blade and pulse until minced.

Each has its own unique flavor and an incredible sweetness. Try serving baked winter squash with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a few dashes of cinnamon. Blend baked winter squash with Chicken Stock or Nourishing Vegan Ginger Soup Stock for a simple, nourishing soup to sip on.

If you are craving something salty and crunchy, make kale chips! They are a much healthier alternative to potato chips.

Use my simple Brown Rice Tortilla recipe as the wrap for these tacos. You can also try a large collard green, cabbage leaf, or lettuce leaf.

Poaching is a wonderful cooking method that doesn't involve heating up your oven in the summertime! Serve poached salmon with a large garden salad, and, if you are not on a grain-free or low-carb diet, you could also include gluten-free noodles tossed in olive oil and chopped fresh herbs to create a beautiful, nourishing summer meal.

Serve this superfood salad as an energizing, antioxidant-rich lunch! If blueberries are out of season, then replace with raspberries or blackberries. If you have leftover baked or poached salmon, use that instead of cooking more!

Serve chowder with a refreshing Cucumber-Mint Salad for a balanced meal. 

This recipe is a favorite for children. Serve with the Sunny Sunflower Seed Burgers or Crispy Chicken Fingers, organic ketchup, and steamed broccoli for a healthy, kid-friendly meal.

This delicious Asian-inspired salmon dish is just seasoned with salt and served with a creamy ginger cashew butter sauce! If you can’t find raw cashew butter you can use ⅓ cup raw cashews soaked in water for about 1 hour (and then drained). We prefer to purchase wild Alaskan troll caught king salmon, as it is one of the most sustainable forms of salmon, with also the least amount of environmental toxins. Always look for wild Pacific salmon, and never buy farmed or Atlantic salmon.
