Hot Millet Breakfast

Millet is an very versatile, non-glutinous grain that is great served savory or sweet. When cooked it has the consistency of rice and tends to not stick together. As a savory dish it is awesome when boiled with some chicken or beef stock.




Personally, I love it as a hot breakfast cereal which I sometimes mix half and half with quinoa. Hot breakfast cereal is a great way to fit in all the allowed grains you can. I find that I enjoy it most when there is a variety of grains to mix in.



This morning I made it with some flax seeds and cinnamon and it hit the spot. I like to sweeten it a bit which can be hard with the sugar restrictions. Sometimes I mash some banana up into it or add fresh fruit.




1/2 cup millet
2    Tbsp flax seeds
1    cup water
1    tsp cinnamon

Bring the cup of water to a boil and add the millet, flax and cinnamon to the water. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. The millet should be soft. Add a little coconut oil if you have it and some stevia. I use a little coconut milk around it but there are conflicting views on coconut milk.

Avocado Salad Dressing

So, now that I am on the hunt for salad dressing, I have come across a few more.

I absolutely love the taste of avocado and use it whenever possible. I would grow it if I could but I do not think my climate lends to good growing conditions. (Although I am going to look that up now :) )

Avocado is an amazing healing food and should be incorporated into your diet at least a couple times per week. When it is in season and at a good price, I eat as many as I can!




1 avocado, pitted and peeled
2 green onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped or squished
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 lemon, juices
1/2 cup olive oil
pepper to taste

Put all but the olive oil in a food processor until smooth. Then add the olive oil while the processor is still running on low.
If you need to thin it out, add a little water. Pour over a salad of fresh greens and enjoy!

Garlic - This ingredient is a fantastic candida fighter but only when consumed raw. Not only does it help to kill off candida in your system, it helps to balance the natural flora of your digestive system. Dressings are a perfect way to get raw garlic into your system.

Green Onions - These have anti-fungal properties and help to kill off candida in your system. Green onions from the store that come with roots attached |(most do) can be used and regrown in your windowsill or garden. I have a post about this which you can see here.

Italian Salad Dressing

It always amazes me how many things wheat and gluten can find its way into. Salad dressing tends to be loaded with gluten to give it a thicker texture.
For a while I had basic oil and vinegar but it got very boring very quickly. I don't know why I waited so long to look up dressing recipes because there is actually an impressive selection of recipes that are gluten free. Here is one of my new default dressings that is also the base for Poppy-Seed Dressing that I will upload soon.

1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp sea salt
2 cloves fresh garlic
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
3/4 cup olive oil

Mince the garlic first. Then add the rest of the ingredients to a jar or bowl and mix it up until it emulsifies. I like to make it in a jar so that I can pop a top on and save the leftover dressing.


Garlic - this ingredient stimulates the liver and colon, helping the body to detoxify. In order to get the benefits from garlic, it must be eaten raw. It is also an anti-fungal which helps to kill off the candida and helps to increase the good bacteria.

Beerless Can Chicken

Okay, so we all know that we can't have beer. But there are other things that you can put in a can inside a chicken for flavoring. Any flavoring you like for chicken, can be put inside an empty can.


1 full chicken
1 empty beer or pop can
water to fill 1/2 the can
flavoring - 3 tbsp ghee OR
              - rosemary and thyme OR
              - lemon juice and rosemary OR
              - lime juice and chilis


Make sure to always season (salt and pepper) your chicken before cooking. I like to use some of the flavoring as a rub on the outside of the chicken as well.
Fill half the can up with water and then add the flavorings you like to the can. Put the can upright in the middle of an oven-safe pan. Put the chicken on top of the can standing the chicken upright as well. Bake in a 400F oven until the chicken is cooked through. You can also cook this on the BBQ if you'd prefer! Great for the summer!

This is a great dinner that you can have every night of the week if you wanted. The leftovers are great for lunch. Completely safe and candida-free.

Country Style Pork Ribs

I love any meal that can be made all in one pot! This recipe for Pork Ribs does exactly that! This can be made as directed on a stove or put in a slow cooker and left to cook all day.

1 1/2 tsp oil
1-2 lbs pork ribs
3/4 cup apple cider
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
1/4 lb onions, chopped
2    stalks celery, chopped
1/4 lb baby carrots, or full-sized carrots chopped
1/4 lb new potatoes

Heat the oil in a dutch oven and add the ribs to brown. Add the next 3 ingredients and cover to let simmer for 1 hour. Add the vegetables and simmer for another 45 minutes.


It really is that easy! I have had this one stored away in my recipe box for quite a while and use it all the time. Sometimes I change out a couple vegetables for other ones but it is delicious just as written.

GF Blueberry Chocolate Banana Bread

I cannot explain how much I love banana bread. It has been the thing I break down and eat knowing its going to hurt later. I am so glad to have found this recipe to share with you so we can all enjoy our banana bread... and eat it too!
I have borrowed this recipe from another blog. I have included the link to it at the bottom of the page. When I make my own loaf I will update it with any changes I made and some pictures of my creation :)

1 1/2 cups almond meal
2       eggs
3       egg whites
1/4    cup canola oil
3/4    cup brown sugar
1       cup mashed banana
1       tsp vanilla extract
1       tsp cinnamon
3/4    tsp baking powder
1/2    tsp salt
1       cup blueberries
1/2    cup dark chocolate chunks

Preheat your oven to 350F. Grease a 5x10 loaf pan.

Mix together all the ingredients except the chocolate and blueberries until it is just mixed. Then fold in the blueberries and chocolate.

Pour the batter into the greased load pan and bake for about 50 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Let cool slightly and enjoy.

How easy is that?!? Below I included a link to where I originally found this recipe!

Breakfast Banana Oatmeal Muffins

I love having muffins for breakfast but many of the recipes call for a bunch of ingredients or have a ton of sugar in them. I love this recipe because I can reduce the sugar used in it a little if I like. Everything is mixed in the blender which also makes it easy to pour into the cups.

You should note that some people have a hard time digesting the oats when you are gluten sensitive. I have never had a problem with the old fashioned or steel cut but I avoid the processed instant oats. If oats bother you, steer clear of this recipe :)


2 1/2 cups oats
1       single serving cup of plain greek yogurt
2       eggs
3/4    cup  sweetener (honey, sugar, 2 Tbsp stevia)
1 1/2 tsp   baking powder
1/2    tsp   baking soda
2               bananas

Preheat your oven to 400F. Spray a muffin pan or grease it. Put all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Divide the batter evenly among the pans and bake for 20-25 minutes.

There it is! It is actually THAT easy :) Allow them to cool a little and eat them up.
