Greek Garlic Fries
I’m sorry to all of the GAPsters and Paleo people out there. Yes, I’m posting FRENCH FRIES. Well, Greek Fries! See, we went to an adoption conference up in Redmond, Washington back in February. I texted a friend to ask what we could eat in the area that was at least gluten free. She sent me the name of this restaurant, and recommended that we get the Garlic Fries and the Shish Tawook. We did, and ohmygoodness. I craved these fries after that one time trying them. We went up to the Snohomish/Lake Stevens area in April, so that my husband could sing at his old high school again.

Coconut Flour “Corn” Bread
Ok, so this isn’t really CORN bread, because that wouldn’t be GAPS legal. But if you want a bread to use in place of corn bread, that’s the consistency of corn bread, this is what you should make! It’s yummy with chili, or stew, or just by itself. Whip up some honey butter to serve it with, if you like! Ingredients: 6 eggs 1/2 c butter or ghee 1/4 c honey 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 tsp baking soda 3/4 c coconut flour Method: Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a pie plate with butter.

Winter Guacamole Recipe
Ok, so it’s not quite winter yet, but it feels like it, right? At least in northern Oregon it does! The mornings are frosty and oh-so-cold, and there have been several days where it was crazy windy outside. Whatever the weather is, here’s the dilema: avocados are in season and readily available in stores, but tomatoes and cilantro (the other great guacamole pieces) are not. What do you do if you want to make a really good guacamole this time of year? My guacamole cravings lead me to invent this simple recipe. I mentioned on Facebook that before GAPS (almost 2 years ago), I couldn’t eat avocados. The effect on…

Cranberry Apple Grain Free Granola
Every Wednesday before homeschool co-op, we have a big breakfast (the kids have a snack-time there, but I want to make sure they're well-fed because they can't just munch whenever they're hungry. Before I get in the shower, I pop 2 boxes of Applegate Farms chicken & apple sausages in the oven (YUM. I could eat an entire box of these alone). Lately, I've also been mixing up 8 eggs with a little yogurt, cheese & spices and pouring them in a buttered 8x8 pan, and putting those in the oven too.
