Quinoa Pilaf with Mushrooms

August 1, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

The first time my husband had quinoa a few years ago it was at a quaint little restaurant in the fishing town of Leland in the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan.  If you haven't visited Northern Michigan do a Google search right now and start pinning all of the cool places you want to visit :). I grew up spending my summers "up North" as we call it "down state" (Southern Michigan), but didn't realize how amazingly lucky we are in Michigan to have such beautiful waters, beaches, hills, and ...

Greek Breakfast Salad; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Yeast Free Recipe

July 30, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

Yesterday I posted my recipe for Lemon Greek Dressing. Today, a quick post for a breakfast salad. I never thought about doing this until I was talking to my sister about how I'm determined to eat 10+ servings of fruits and vegetables a day.  She recommended a breakfast salad. Sounds good to me! This also ties in with my "Veggies for Breakfast" Series. In case you're interested in seeing more posts, simply search for "Veggies for Breakfast" in the search bar on the right hand side of the ...

Lemon Greek Salad Dressing – Yeast Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

July 29, 2014 by Kristina 4 Comments

Currently I eat gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free but for the first 5 or so months after changing my diet I also cut out yeast. I'm severely intolerant to brewer's yeast and slightly intolerant to bakers yeast. Yesterday my cousin posted on facebook that he's going to be doing a detox diet for the next 4-6 weeks and he'll be cutting out all gluten, dairy, soy, corn, and nuts - he also won't be eating anything processed, with added sugars, and no yeast.  To make it harder, he's also ...

Garlicky Kale with Pancetta (or Bacon); Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

July 21, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

Here's post #2 in my "Veggies for Breakfast" segment. Garlicy Kale with Pancetta. As always, this recipe is naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free.  I served this with over easy eggs. It tasted amazing with the yolks broken over it. This is great as a dinner side dish too! I've been on such a pancetta kick lately! I mean honestly, who doesn't love bacon? Pancetta is Italian bacon - it's great because it stores well (it keeps for months), it's super flavorful, and it comes ...

Sweet Potato and Pancetta Hash; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

July 10, 2014 by Kristina 1 Comment

I've got a few collections of recipes in the works for the next few weeks.  First, veggies for breakfast, as usual they'll all be gluten free, soy free, dairy free, and nut free recipes.  I read an article the other day about how Americans eat... did you know that the median amount of fruits and eaten per day is 1.6 servings? No wonder we're so unhealthy! My family tries to eat the recommended amount of 5-6 servings per day, but that same article stated that people who eat "7 or more servings ...

Fish Picatta (Lake Trout, Whitefish, Tilapia, Etc) ; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

July 7, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

The men have been excited about the fishing trip we got them since Christmas, so early on Saturday (like at 5am) my hubby, BILs, step brother and step dad took off to catch us some lake trout to eat for dinner.  The problem - how do you cook lake trout? I had no idea, I mean, honestly I've only eaten it once at this amazing French restaurant in Chicago. After doing some research I realized that there aren't a lot of recipes online specifically for Lake Trout so I decided to modify a recipe that ...

Ham and Broccoli Quiche Recipe; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

July 5, 2014 by Kristina 4 Comments

I've posted a similar recipe before but this one's a bit more clear.  I Love this quiche. Actually, everyone I know who's gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free does! It packs so much flavor (and even without cheese it almost tastes like it has it).  Back before I was a SAHM I would make 2 of these on a Sunday for us to take to work during the week.  During the first few months with my new baby my mom came over and would make a few.  Honestly, I was eating them for breakfast and lunch ...

July 4, 2014 by Kristina Leave a Comment

We're in the car on our way to Traverse City for the Fourth of July and my mom is texting me for my Broccoli Salad recipe, so I decided that this is a good time to share it with you!

Ingredients: 2 heads broccoli 1/2 lb bacon 1/2 red onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup) I have used white onion too in a pinch 1/2 ...

Asparagus and Pancetta (or Bacon) Quiche – Gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut free Recipe

June 4, 2014 by Kristina 1 Comment

It's asparagus season!  Actually, it has been for a few weeks, so I've eaten a TON of asparagus.  My mom came over yesterday and called when she was on the way. She had gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free pie crusts and asparagus she got from a northern michigan farm yesterday and wanted to see if I had anything to make some quiche for breakfast.  I'd never made a quiche with asparagus but I just so happened to have a package of pancetta in the fridge (for making my pancetta and sweet ...
