Grain-Free Spicy Whole Roasted Chicken
One of the things I learned on the farm, raising our own chickens, was that farm chicken isn’t easily served up as boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs. Most of the time, our home-grown chicken was served as whole, roasted chicken. This brought about the need to create different and interesting whole chicken recipes! đ This was one of the recipes I created on the farm. This recipe can also be found in my GAPS Meal Plans. This chicken makes an excellent broth! I used it to make my Tomato Soup recipe & it made a tasty soup! Grain-Free Spicy Whole Roasted Chicken Author: Brenda Scott Serves: 4-8 Ingredients 1…

Grain-Free Carrot Raisin Salad
We’ve been making this salad since we were on the GAPS Diet (which we started approximately 10 years ago & were on for 3 years!). My kids love this salad. It is a nice dinner addition and quite easy to prepare. This recipe is in my GAPS Meal Plans. Grain-Free Carrot Raisin Salad Author: Brenda Scott Serves: 6 Ingredients 1 lb carrots, shredded 2/3 cup raisins, no sugar added 1 cup plain yogurt (homemade is best, use coconut milk yogurt for a dairy free version) 3 TB honey 1/2 tsp cinnamon, optional Instructions Combine yogurt, honey and cinnamon in a medium bowl.

Grain-Free Tomato Soup
This soup is from my GAPS Meal Plans & we enjoyed it again for lunch last week! This is really quite simple to prepare, and it is suitable for people who are eating GAPS, Paleo, Primal, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, and even vegetarian or vegan. My family serves this alongside gluten free grilled cheese sandwiches. There is a grain-free grilled cheese sandwich recipe in my meal plans, but you can use any kind of “bread” that works for your diet restrictions. Make sure to use tomatoes that are stored in a jar, not canned tomatoes. Tomatoes are acidic and therefore leech toxins out of metal cans lined with BPA. I prefer Jovial…

Paleo Chicken Curry Salad (Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free)
I made up this Curry Chicken Salad and served it at a Norwex party at my house last week. I’ll blog more about Norwex later, my friend Erin is selling it here if you want to check them out before I get a chance to blog about them. I don’t typically like microfiber because of the feeling/texture, but I am super impressed by Norwex! (I do not make money off of the link to Erin’s Norwex shop, but she does if you buy something, which I think is fabulous, because she’s a stay at home mommy of a busy 2 year old and a real foodie!). ANYWAYS, back to the curry! I made this up,…

Nut-Free Paleo Chicken Satay with Sunflower Butter Dipping Sauce Recipe
I have not eaten peanuts in over 14 years, because I had (scary) negative reactions to them. We also have a daughter who has an anaphylactic allergy to peanuts. Needless to say, we haven’t ventured into any Thai restaurants. đ So many people seem to love Thai food, so I’ve been curious about it! I wished SO bad I could try it, but wasn’t willing to risk peanut (or wheat) contamination. The best way to get around an obstacle like this is to just do it myself! That is how this recipe came to be–and OH MY GOODNESS it is yummy!!! If you can have regular peanut butter, you can…

GAPS Intro Recipe: Lemon Basil Chicken
My family did the GAPS Intro again just after Christmas. It’s a good thing to do every now and then to re-set and cleanse the body–especially after a holiday season with cakes, and pies, and dinner rolls and candy! If you don’t know about GAPS, you’ll want to check out the book: Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride. I get a little bored of the GAPS Intro recipes that are out there. I feel like they’re lacking flavor, and when I don’t have enough good flavor to satisfy me, I feel like I need to eat something else that is off the diet. I enjoy trying to make…

GAPS & Paleo Cabbage and Meatball Soup Recipe
I love digging through purses or bags I haven’t used in a long time and finding money, or a tube of lipstick, or best yet; one of my favorite lotions. Looking through old SD cards that weren’t cleared and contain photos of FOOD is kind of like that for me, too. đ I am not a professional photographer, people. I’m watching YouTube videos to learn more, but I have a long ways to go. I have a cool camera. I have some lighting, and a reflector. I know to shoot in daylight, near a window. That’s about the extent of my photography skills. At the farm, photography seemed easier for…

Quick, Easy & Cheap GAPS Lunch: Italian Vegetable Soup
I made this soup for lunch yesterday and my kids loved it. It was quick, easy, healthy, GAPS legal, and it only cost about $6.81 for the whole pot and nourished 6 of us (plus a little for the baby). Let me share the recipe & cost break down!

Acorn Squash with Apples
When you’re eating grain free, you have to get creative when it comes to lunches. My kids can eat a lot, so I’m also always looking for frugal lunch ideas. Our family loves acorn squash with butter and a little bit of honey in it. One day, I came up with this idea for lunch! It is frugal, too! Each squash costs me about $1.50 to $2.25. The apples cost a little less than $1 for the whole recipe. The shallots are cheap–maybe .25 to .50. The butter is about .75 total. It ends up costing between $6.50 and $8 to feed 6 people ($1.08 to $1.33 each). Or, if…
