GAPS Alfredo Sauce

When I first moved out on my own I discovered the wonders of alfredo sauce. I never liked tomato sauce and so for years I had my pasta with butter and cheese. Then one day I tasted rich delicious alfredo sauce. I was in heaven! Even better was Alfredo Primavera. Pasta with alfredo sauce and [...]

Arugula, Bacon, and Cheddar Quiche with Coconut Crust

This was my first GAPS quiche and one of very few that I have made ever. It was delecious! But I did make a mistake in not making sure all of the cheese was well under the egg mixture. It browned very quickly on the surface and made it look not quite right but [...]
