Ginger-Tamari Vinaigrette

Leave a Comment / Recent, Recipes / Christine Maren D.O., IFMCP

This is my favorite vinaigrette on the planet. From one of my favorite chefs on the planet. Tyler Florence’s cookbook, Eat This Book Cooking With Global Fresh Flavors, is not explicitly gluten free, but has a lot of clean, simple recipes that are easy to modify. This one is amazing with a simple salad or asparagus to accompany Asian inspired dishes, like Asian Meatballs. It’s also great with salmon or shrimp, and also on rice if you tolerate grains.

I try to add vegetables to our breakfast dishes all the time. This recipe from Against All Grain makes it easy. I make this not-so-spicy version so that my daughter can enjoy it, too.

Smash Potatoes

Leave a Comment / Recent, Recipes / Christine Maren D.O., IFMCP

This recipe was adapted from The Pioneer Woman. I like to serve potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash – or some other plant based carbohydrate – with dinner. When I can find purple potatoes, I use those, because they help me add color to the plate and maximize our phytonutrients.

Brussels sprouts can be really amazing if you prepare them right. Don’t skimp on the EVOO! I adapted this recipe from Costa Kitchen. I prefer mine with cashew cream when I have a batch on hand.

Roasted Broccoli

It’s true. This might just be the best broccoli of your life. Just make sure not to overcook it. If it’s mushy, then you’ve cooked it too long. I adapted this recipe from the Amateur Gourmet.

Grain-free Granola

Leave a Comment / Recent, Recipes / Christine Maren D.O., IFMCP

This recipe for grain-free granola is adapted from the Make It Paleo cookbook by Bill Staley and Hayley Mason. It seems high maintenance because you have to soak the nuts overnight and then oven dry them the next day. It’s a process, but it’s worth it. Overall, I actually think it’s easier than the traditional granola I’ve made, which involves a sticky mess and lots of stirring. You can make a lot of modifications to the type of nuts and dried fruits you use — just play with it.

I love this simple recipe for braised chicken and cabbage because it’s basically a one pot meal. I modified the original recipe from the Food Network Kitchen.

Paleo Banana Bread Muffins

Leave a Comment / Recent, Recipes / Christine Maren D.O., IFMCP

I make this simple recipe for paleo banana bread from the Civilized Caveman at least twice a month with my 3 year old daughter. It makes an easy breakfast on days when I’m running out the door. It’s high in protein and healthy fats, and very low in sugar. I use ripe bananas to add some flavor. If you’re accustomed to a lot of sugar, you’ll perceive these as bland. Recalibrate your ‘buds and you’ll enjoy them.
