Elevate that old pasta salad with this bright and bold noodle recipe, of course grain, gluten and dairy free.

Loaded with crab meat, this dish is lightened with vegan mayo and grain-free cracker crumbs, making it egg-free and anti-inflammatory.

You will not believe how thick, creamy, rich and delicious this mayo is. It’s egg-free, and the best part is it’s super quick and simple to put together.

This dip is so delish, it’s served year-round. Perhaps you’ve had it in a Greek restaurant, usually one of a “trio” of dips on an appetizer menu, along with eggplant dip (melinzanosalata) and hummus.

Completely gluten and dairy free, 2 of these Oat Blueberry Bakes pack a whopping 26 grams of protein. Stick to old fashion rolled organic, gluten free oats for the best option.

Hearty and satisfying, this lentil and orzo dish is reminiscent of the Traditional French Onion soup, as well as remaining grain and dairy free. Serve as a main dish or as a side. Pefect for a Lenten meal.

This version of the Greek Lenten flatbread, Lagana, is grain and gluten free, but doesn’t miss out on texture or flavor.

These brownies are thick, chewy and just sweet enough. Recently I read more about how molasses is a superfood, and that one tablespoon each day has so much nutritional benefit. I wrote about the benefits of molasses in a blog post years ago, and it is worth repeating!

So quick and simple to prepare, you can make them mid-week or make extra to reheat and eat. Simply mix ripe banana, almond butter, egg and if you want to get fancy, a little vanilla. Grain and dairy free.

One pan and done. A lighter version of the traditional recipe with cauliflower rice taking the place of grits. It’s creamy, spicy, dairy and grain free.

You never know where the next recipe inspiration will come from, and this time it was a local taco bar! These Brussels are roasted with fig spread and served with a curried carrot puree. There’s a little extra sugar, but it’s paleo enough! Still dairy, gluten/grain and soy free.

My interpretation of a NYTimes recipe, removing the problematic ingredients like soy, dairy and wheat noodles, but keeping the amazing bold flavors.

Your friends and family will not know this is a healthful, grain-free option to the traditional Pumpkin Spice Loaf. It could become a new fall tradition.

Simmering the meatballs in chicken bone broth really uplevels the nutritional value of this dish. One technique used a lot in Greek cooking is grating onions and other vegetables. It works exceptionally well in ground meat mixtures, like this meatball recipe. It’s worth the effort to have the savory flavors of the vegetables without the texture from dicing or mincing.

Recently I prepared these tartlets for a champagne tasting and dinner with friends. It was a wonderful evening and this dessert was a fitting ending. It was rich but light and flavorful, without that heavy feeling other desserts can cause.

Halvah brownies, with tahini, olive oil and date paste make these paleo treats as decadent as they are packed with Mediteranean flavor. Each layer of flavor inspired by the last and the results are spectacular.

The client who shared this recipe with me said it’s a “boys’ meal” and that is the perfect description. Hearty and filling with great flavors.
