Brownie Muffins

Posted in muffins

Muffins are one of my favorite breakfast items, but something I haven’t really been able to enjoy since going gluten and grain free. So when I found a recipe for brownie bites, a light bulb went off. Instead of making them mini size, why not turn them into regular size muffins! Not only are these a wonderful muffin, but they also satisfy my chocolate sweet tooth when it strikes. Moist, chocolaty goodness wrapped up into a convenient muffin is about as good as it gets, especially on those busy, on-the-go mornings when your on the run and need something quick and filling. And filling they are made with protein packed almond flour, and no processed sugar in sight. Instead they are sweetened with healthier for you honey, which gives it just enough sweetness to take it from your normal muffin, to a chocolaty brownie.

Almond Flour “Cornbread”

Posted in breads

You are not going to believe this, I found a delicious, gluten free, grain free, and Paleo friendly recipe for cornbread! I was kind of sceptical when I first seen this one. How in the world could something that doesn’t have cornmeal in it, taste like cornbread? I was willing to try it though, since I really missed having it when I made chili or soup.

Southern Fried Yellow Squash

Posted in vegetables

If your from the South, I’m sure you’ve had the pleasure of enjoying fried squash. If you haven’t, then you are missing a fantastic treat. There’s no better time to try them now too as our gardens start to burst with squash. While I normally fry zucchini this way, we were given a huge bag of yellow crookneck squash recently from a family friends garden, so I decided to swap it out for the zucchini. It came out delicious!

Pan Fried Chicken {Paleo, Gluten Free}

Posted in chicken, Gluten Free

As I mentioned in my post on Monday, I started a gluten free diet 1 1/2 weeks ago and feel a lot better then what I did. The downside to that, or what I THOUGHT was the downside, is not being able to enjoy the gluten laden foods that I was raised on as a Southerner. I was happy to discover through a lot of research though that I don’t have to give up those delicious foods, I just need to find gluten free replacements for them. Not an easy task, but one I’m up to the challenge for.
