In the last year or two my Dad had been trying to eat better and lose some weight. I had asked him several times to try going gluten/grain free for 30 days to see what effect it would have on his psoriasis. He eventually got on board and started to notice his skin was clearing…
Glazed Chocolate Zucchini Muffins (Paleo and Low Carb)
Zucchini is starting to show up in my CSA each week and although it’s one of my favorite vegetables I wanted to use it in a sweet recipe. As you may know, I’ve been trying to implement a low histamine diet (in addition to my usual low carb paleo diet). So what’s the hardest part…
Creamy Zucchini Noodles with Bacon (Dairy Free)
So lately I’ve had an obsession with mashed cauliflower since it’s such an easy side dish.

So perfectly easy and delicious! Well, I…

Savory Zucchini Bread
Today’s post is a guest post over at Empowered Sustenance. Because my diet doesn’t include grains I often get asked if I miss regular bread. For me eating grain-free is helping to heal my digestive issues and for that alone it would be totally worth it to miss out on bread. The good news about…
Cheesy Zucchini “Rice”
Me and dairy haven’t gotten along in many years. I used to fill the void by downing tons of those Lactaid pills or by eating fake dairy. Eventually I had to add more and more of those pills for it to even be effective. One day I decided that it was ridiculous to take so…
Zucchini Lasagna (Low Carb and Dairy Free)
I’ve been lactose intolerant for about 10 years now and most of the time I don’t really feel like I’m missing out on anything because I can’t eat cheese, cream, etc. But every once in awhile I get the urge to to revamp dishes that contain dairy into dairy free versions. I made dairy free…
