I've been learning to cook and eat all over again since I changed to a low histamine diet. The list of disallowed foods has changed drastically for me and I'm not eating animal products again for the first time in quite a long time (with the exception of ghee, which I make myself in my...

Cinnamon and spice meatballs (over chard) #foodie friday
This was the first time I made meatballs. They are not what people would consider traditional meatballs. As an Italian American who grew up eating food cooked by my Italian father, I also happen to know that meatballs and spaghetti is an American phenomena, not Italian. These turned out very well and I think it's... Continue Reading →
Holiday meal for two… #foodie friday
Thought I'd share our Christmas day meal since it was quite lovely and delicious as well as rather simple to prepare. A good whole food meal (paleo) that is delicious too. Making a meal this lovely for two didn't really take all that much time. It was all very simple. ● Leg of lamb slathered... Continue Reading →
Coconut lemon chicken #foodie friday
This recipe was inspired by a recipe a friend emailed to me. It's right here. The blog it comes from suggests several possible variations. Generally when I get an idea I look up on google and enter the main ingredients of a dish and then I look at 4 or 5 or 6 recipes to... Continue Reading →
Liver and onions (gourmet style) — #foodie Friday
I've been eating lots of organ meats from grass-fed animals to get my B vitamins. I've never been a fan of beef liver but I'm finally getting liver right so that I actually enjoy it when I eat it. Here is a recipe.
Winter multi squash soup with tahini — #foodie Friday
This is the best squash soup I've made. The key ingredients that made it unique are the tahini and the cardamom. It's rich and delightful. I make lots of butternut and/or pumpkin soups every fall. You can trade out pumpkin or various single winter squashes of your choice for this soup.
Red wine poached apples. #foodie Friday
We don't eat dessert often. When I do make dessert it's something like this. These are really delicious as well as beautiful and wholesome too. The red wine makes for a delightfully striking look, but you can use brandy instead, too. I actually prefer the flavor with brandy, but you can't beat this red color and honestly it's pretty close in terms of yumminess too. Of note, all the alcohol is cooked out of this so there is no alcohol left in it by the time the dish is served.
Simple yellow squash with tomatoes: #foodie Friday
Ingredients are minimal in this tasty and easy dish.
Pureed Borscht — recipe for #foodie Friday
Borscht is a soup people tend to either go hot or cold on. I'm hot for it. Love it. I thought of that as one can eat it hot or cold too! (bad play on words, perhaps?) It can also be made with meat or just veggies. This recipe is all veggie, except for the broth which can be either veggie or meat based.
Raisin pumpkin bread/cake **grain free, sugar free** today is #foodie Friday
So this is a paleo acceptable dessert of sorts. Some paleo people would take issue with the raisins. It's also acceptable on the GAPS diet for the most part. You might want to skip the baking soda. Otherwise it's all legal. I was making this yummy bread/cake while I was still eating eggs. I've since... Continue Reading →
