Allergy-Friendly Pumpkin Pie Custard
I made this pumpkin pie for my girls for Thanksgiving, from a recipe in the He Won’t Know It’s Paleo AIP Holiday e-book. Since then I have modified the recipe a bit to make it a little less spicy and a little sweeter. I also skip the crust and just make the custard. It is super quick to whip up in my vitamix, and my girls absolutely love it. The best part is it’s gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, egg-free, soy-free, and nut-free (and naturally it’s free of fish, haha) That’s right – it’s free of all top 8 allergens! It’s also legal for GAPS, SCD, and AIP diet (and probably a…

Allergy-Friendly Animal Crackers (GAPS, Paleo, Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free)
If you are on a special diet like GAPS, SCD, or Paleo, you can easily find recipes for crackers, and even pre-packaged store-bought items. However, if you also have allergies or food intolerances, it can be VERY difficult to find recipes that meet your dietary requirements. I have tried a few sunflower seed cracker recipes, and this one is by far the tastiest. My girls love these crackers, and I send them with Lily for a portable and non-messy preschool snack! They are slightly sweet and very crunchy, but not tough or chewy. These are great plain or dipped in yogurt or sunbutter. I think you could reduce the honey…

Allergy Friendly Toddler Snack – Apples w/Sweet Yogurt Dip
We’ve been slowly expanding the girls’ diet, including more Full GAPS foods. We are still pretty restricted in terms of allergy foods, so it can be tricky to come up with tasty treats. However, I’ve had some real successes lately – including a no added sugar, nut-free, egg-free, dairy-free, grain-free cookie recipe that is a hit with the girls!! I’ll share it another time. I’m experimenting with coconut yogurt to try to make a “cream cheese” type frosting for Lily’s birthday. To achieve a thicker consistency, I doubled the gelatin I normally use in the coconut yogurt recipe that I make each week. It turned out much like a panna…

Homemade Coconut Milk Yogurt!
I am excited to share this recipe. After doing a lot of reading on GAPS and SCD groups, I ordered this yogurt maker. I also ordered two glass jar inserts. The yogurt maker comes with an insert, but it’s plastic and I don’t like the lid. I started with one glass jar, but ordered a second so that I can start a batch while the other is still in the refrigerator. I’ve also been making dairy yogurt for myself, which is also really good. My hope is that one day I’ll be able to make 24 hour dairy yogurt for the girls to enjoy. In the meantime, I’m excited to…

Homemade Coconut Milk – Healthier and More Cost Effective!
We already know that homemade coconut milk is healthier than store-bought, and it seems to be much more cost effective too! To make coconut milk, you only need 2 ingredients: water and coconut butter. I have a new favorite creamed coconut, and the package is the perfect size for making a quart of milk. You could actually make more than 4 cups, but I like to make it fairly thick. As I’ve shared before, coconut milk is simple to make. This particular coconut butter makes it even easier! Instead of warming the jar and trying to scoop it out, you simply open the box, take out the inner pkg, drop…
