Commercial taco seasoning packets may seem convenient, but they contain corn flour and corn starch as well as food additives like Maltodextrin and Silicon Dioxide. Your body treats Maltodextrin like glucose, and Silicon Dioxide, which prevents caking, is also used to make concrete and glass. Now, those are things you know. You’re welcome. That same […]
If you’re avoiding lectins and really miss grains, sorghum is the bomb (since it has no hull, it contains no lectins). Sorghum’s light, nutty flavor makes it as versatile as rice, and it never gets soggy, so you can make a massive batch and portion for freezer storage. Stove top and slow cooker sorghum take […]

Beef with broccoli is the meat eater’s takeout darling. It’s full of sugar and salt, drowned in a gravy-like sauce and served on a bed of carbs. What’s not to love? Thing is, we can do better…and we have. Way less sodium, no soy, sugar or grains, and it’s delicious as heck. Toss in shortcuts […]
We’ve been waiting for broccolini all summer and finally found some at North end City Market this past weekend. Broccolini is milder and sweeter than regular broccoli and doesn’t need dressing up too much. Thinner stalks make it ideal for blanching and tossing in a garlic and lemon mix for a light side dish that […]
This Apricot Glazed Pork Tenderloin is worthy of a holiday table but easy enough to make on a weeknight. The base for the apricot glaze is our Sugar-Free Apricot Sauce, which we kept a but chunky and on the thick side, so it would have enough substance to withstand the roasting process. It did not […]
We’re not going to lie, baking grain-free bread from scratch every week is a major time suck and it’s difficult to make only what you need. We tried a lot of test recipes for Grain-Free English Muffins, both microwave and oven versions, all of which fell short of our expectations. In the end, we developed […]

St. Patrick’s Day just isn’t complete without a Green Chicago River, the Northwest and South Side Irish parades, and a corned beef dinner. Since corned beef is just a brisket that has been brined, it’s a slow-cooking meat…unless you use a pressure cooker. We like things fast and easy, so we’re pleased to present an […]
Our love affair with portobello mushrooms as a main course is well-documented, and it continues with this Instant Pot Meatless Pot Roast. Sure, we have an actual beef chuck roast recipe, but this healthier, budget-friendly version is a lot lighter and has a vegan option. This recipe would take all day in a slow cooker, […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Pumpkin everything, sweatshirt and shorts weather (Midwesterners get it), and most importantly, the return of hockey. Getting back to the pumpkin part, no one needs to stand in line for a sugar-laden pumpkin scone and a $5 cup of coffee when you can whip up a batch […]
