These Grain-Free Honey Almond Flour Muffins are a tasty and easy addition to your Specific Carbohydrate Diet‘ (SCD Diet) recipe collection. The muffins just have a few ingredients and have the perfect soft texture without being too moist. The trick to getting almond flour muffins to not be “wet” is to have a combination of coconut flour and almond flour to make your grain-free flour mix. I like to use about 1/4 cup of coconut flour for every one cup of almond flour.

SCD Easy Butter Chicken

This butter chicken is one of my favorite recipes. It takes a little time, but it’s very easy to make. If you love warm spices like cumin and coriander, you will love this recipe. The buttery sauce adds rich flavor without being heavy. Do you have to use ghee to make Butter Chicken? You can use regular butter in place of the ghee. Ghee has a deeper flavor than butter and I prefer it, but regular butter will work nicely for it. Ghee has the milk solids removed, which brings out more flavor. It is less creamy than regular butter. The bottom line is, use ghee for the best flavor, but if you don’t ..read more

Eating For Crohn’s In the Anti-Diet Movement

I recently listened to an episode of the Full Plate podcast hosted by “anti-diet” nutritionist Abbie Atwood that centered on Crohn’s Disease and diet. Let me start off by saying, I like Abbie and have chatted with her a little bit on social media about “anti-diet” and what that means to me as someone who has modified diet to help keep my Crohn’s in remission for over 20 years. I do agree with Abbie on a lot of her points about body stigma, health at any size, and the overemphasis of weight loss or being “thin” as a signifier of “being healthy.” We part ways on whether there is room for intenti ..read more

Do you like a soft, cakey cookie sandwich with a fluffy sweet filling? Look no further than these Grain-Free Pumpkin Whoopie Pies. I wanted to make a grain-free Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) version of these because I I used to order some from an SCD bakery every holiday. That bakery is no longer in business and I was missing them. I had never made whoopie pies before so this involved some trial and error on the cookies – be sure to check out my video below for the near fail. I needed a cookie that would hold together, but was light enough to not squish the filling right out of the cookie s ..read more

Pecan Pie Pudding Cups – Dairy-Free

This healthy twist on pecan pie is an elegant dessert to serve for the holidays. I decided to make this into a rich, custardy pudding because an almond flour crust paired with a dessert already filled with pecans is nut overkill in my opinion. Baking in individual serving size ramekins makes this dessert ready to serve with no cutting and there’s less clean-up. What do you need to make dairy-free pecan pie pudding? The key ingredient to this decadent dessert is homemade sweetened condensed coconut milk. The condensed milk is easy to make and delicious on its own. It adds a rich sweetness and s ..read more

Happy Gut For Life

This is a simple recipe for making sweetened condensed milk that is both dairy-free and made without refined sugar. It will not be quite as thick and sweet as the store-bought kind, but it does the job for dessert recipes that call for condensed milk such as my White Fudge. The coconut milk adds a natural sweetness in addition to the honey. I find this condensed coconut milk to be very satisfying. In addition to dessert recipes, it can be added to smoothies, ice cream recipes, or turned into a sweet caramel sauce dessert topping. This sweetened condensed coconut milk is used to make my SCD Ma ..read more
