In our house, we have had to eliminate a record number of foods over the past 5 years (since diagnosis). And we are better for it. Our guts are stronger. We are healthier. The tough part?

Yebo. It’s an entire year later. But, amidst other life changing events such as the birth of our daughter and a move cross country – I concede that it has taken me a year to get to it.  [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/south-africa/feed/ 13 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/maple-pecan-butter/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/maple-pecan-butter/#comments Wed, 12 May 2010 13:02:43 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=1833 Just to set the record straight, I have never ventured into the land of making my own nut butter. I always dismissed it, speculating that it was too complicated or time consuming a task.

Within minutes of eating them her face becomes flushed with red silver-dollar sized circles – almost as if someone has applied blush to her barely 4 year old cheeks.  Strangely enough it’s not an effect produced by canned tomatoes (which can sometimes cause a reaction for some people) but fresh tomatoes.

Loved every bite. So did my husband. Unlike me, he’s not a big swiss chard fan – but even he didn’t even realize it was in there. Instead of using white potatoes, I chose sweet potatoes for a more nutritious component. This recipe is really quite forgiving.

I threw together some of the remaining items in my fridge along with some leftover salmon and made this wonderful quiche. My children had seconds and thirds. And this morning, I had a little piece on toast for brunch. It was so delicious.

I like  to make my own at home but somehow I can never achieve the same consistency as store bought ones  containing dairy.  I thought of adding a small amount of artichoke hearts and – believe it or not – it actually renders the pesto creamy. Amazing.  Traditionally, pesto [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-artichoke-pesto/feed/ 6 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/baked-stuffed-butternut-squash/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/baked-stuffed-butternut-squash/#comments Wed, 21 Jan 2009 16:05:27 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=858 The last time we were visiting South Africa, my brother and sister-in-law had us over for dinner. Cynthia is a really good cook and the spread she so effortlessly prepared was delicious.  She baked some butternut squash and stuffed it with a rice and sauteed vegetable mixture. In my adaptation, I changed up the vegetable ingredients just a little bit. I couldn’t help add [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/baked-stuffed-butternut-squash/feed/ 0 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-parsnip-soup/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-parsnip-soup/#comments Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:35:30 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=826 My children like turnips. Really, I’m not kidding.  And they like parsnips, too. So, I thought I would try and put them together in a soup.  Alas, we had some serious muffin dunking going on for dinner last night.  The key to selecting good turnips and parsnips is fairly straightforward: firm to the touch (no flimsy [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/turnip-and-parsnip-soup/feed/ 0 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-chicken-a-la-king/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-chicken-a-la-king/#comments Tue, 09 Dec 2008 21:12:09 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=631 This is something I recall my mom making throughout my childhood. It was her mom’s recipe. I’d  somehow forgotten about this little gem of a dish until I came across the recipe in Novembers Cooks Country magazine. I stopped and reflected for a moment – could this recipe be refabbed (yes, I invented that word) gluten and casein free?  I made this a [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-chicken-a-la-king/feed/ 2 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/kasha-with-kale-and-garlic/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/kasha-with-kale-and-garlic/#comments Sat, 15 Nov 2008 15:33:50 +0000 Stephanie http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/?p=491 Back in the old days, I would frequently eat this fantastic bulgur wheat dish (that I stumbled across in a Food & Wine issue years ago). I was thinking the other day – in one of my “I really miss that” moments that I could use some kasha and tweak the ingredients a little bit.

I remember them fondly. I recall that her version was  always vegetarian - and they always tasted so good. I decided to change it up a little bit and use ground lamb. I rarely eat meat, but my husband and my daughter love it.

Sadly, soups are notorious for having gluten in them. It’s used as a thickener. Today was the first real autumn-like day in Colorado. It was crisp –chilly enough that I had to put on a warm sweater. I find it so interesting that my body [...]]]> http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-carrot-ginger-soup/feed/ 2 http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-taco-bar/ http://www.glutenfreebynature.com/articles-and-recipes/gluten-free-dairy-free-taco-bar/#comments Mon, 29 Sep 2008 02:32:35 +0000 Stephanie http://stephfourie.wordpress.com/?p=406 Throughout summer and early fall, we have taco bar at our house a few times a month. Everyone loves it because the ingredients are put out,  and we all get to pick and choose our toppings. In the end, everyone is happy. It’s great for a Friday night dinner when it’s too much to prepare an elaborate spread.

As such, my body has been instinctively craving hearty soups. At the farmers market this morning, I just bought two things: kale and fingerling potatoes. I got started making the soup and the house was filled with the most amazing aroma.
