Simple, Healthful, Creamy Salad Dressings (Non-Dairy, Non-Mayo)
Unable to eat dairy or pro-inflammatory, omega-6-laden mayonnaise, I’ve lately been missing creamy dressings. During the colder months, I find them more satisfying than the tangy vinaigrettes that speak to me of sultry summer meals. I’ve lately been having fun … Continue reading
Anti-Inflammatory Snacking: Roasted Moroccan-Spiced Chickpeas
On my quest for healthful, gluten-free snacks, I was recently reminded of roasted chickpeas. You can roast any legume, but chickpeas in particular never cease to delight me, whether in creamy hummus, hearty soups, fresh salads, or roasted up all … Continue reading
Vanilla Coconut Custard Baked in a Sugar Pumpkin (Dairy-Free)
