Gluten Free Slow Cooker (or Instant Pot) Lasagna Soup
It’s soup season!! Soup is great in every season as far as I’m concerned, but as soon as Fall arrives I feel like it’s truly soup season. The other night my husband said he was in the mood for Italian food, and my mind immediately went to lasagna. I love lasagna, but it can be so time consuming to make. And since 2 of my kids are completely gluten and dairy free that adds another challenging element. Fortunately, I’m up for a challenge, and since it’s legit soup season I decided lasagna soup was on the menu. To make this lasagna soup I could have pulled out my instant pot,…

Gluten Free Instant Pot Pasta E Fagioli Soup
This is one of my go-to soups for busy weeknights. Add a green salad and a loaf of gluten free bread, and it’s also a great meal to take to a friend.

Fortunately there are quite a few great gluten free pastas on the market these days! I have made this with gluten free ditalini,…

This GAPS-friendly turkey breast recipe is just as tasty and a lot healthier! You can even use the drippings to make gravy using either a traditional method with starch or using Great Lakes Kosher Beef Gelatin for a grain-free, GAPS-friendly gravy. My…

Easiest Ever Ground Beef in a Slow Cooker
One of the best time-saving kitchen tips I’ve found is that you can cook ground beef in a slow cooker. Recipes that call for ground beef usually require you to brown it first (slow cooker or otherwise). Personally, I despise raw meat. Looking at it, touching it, cleaning up afterward… it is high on my eww factor list. And, I have this thing for totally and completely cooking meat. My husband jokes that I like my steak cooked like a piece of cardboard. I disagree with that. Hmph. However, I will admit that I like meat well done, and I probably brown my ground beef longer than most…you know, just to…
