If you’re craving pumpkin pie, but you don’t feel like baking (or having tons of leftovers), or if you have some left over pumpkin puree, this smoothie is perfect. It’s pumpkin pie flavor in a glass! The almond butter and dates give it a rich, full texture. I used yogurt […]
I rarely eat pork outside of bacon, but I do love Carnitas every once in a while. I decided to make up a batch in my slow cooker. This is super easy, doesn’t take a lot of time, and only takes a few ingredients. Pork Carnitas
I always used to enjoy making caramel apples for Halloween with my mom. Of course in those days we just bought a big bag a caramels, melted them down and covered the apples with them. But since those caramels are not allowed on SCD we need to make our own […]

When I was growing up my great-aunt used to also make a strawberry and cream cheese dessert for me on special occasions. I never got the recipe from her, but I figured I could kind of recreate it using strained SCD yogurt. This turned out very good. Her dessert had […]
I usually skip putting eggs in ice cream because it adds time to the process, but I was thinking about being in New York, which made me think of frozen custard. Frozen custard never really made it out to the west coast (and I don’t remember seeing it on my […]
