These are the tastiest crispy grain-free dumplings you'll ever make. I promise you won't even miss the gluten and trans fats. Enjoy my new favourite comforting meal from This Doctor's Kitchen:  In the past 5 years I've slowly made significant dietary decisions for the sake of my health. In order to finally resolve my skin, energy and digestion issues this doctor's kitchen is now entirely gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free and egg-free (90% of the time, we do have backyard hens after all, and their fresh tasty eggs aren't always easy to give up).

Happy fall everyone. I hope you enjoy this quick and healthy (gluten-free/low-sugar/dairy-free) apple crisp recipe from This Doctor's Kitchen.  After a round of apple picking and a CSA box full of local apples we recently found ourselves with a surplus of honeycrisps. A girl (and her husband) can only eat so many apples, so naturally I've found myself incorporating this seasonal favourite into all of my recent baking and cooking. We've made apple muffins, squash & apple soup and even bourbon & maple stewed apples, but my hands-down favourite way to use up apples is in this healthy, yet indulgent apple…

One of my favourite things we ate in Portugal (aside from my daily salt cod fritter) was a huge bowl of the freshest clams I've ever tasted cooked with garlic, lemon, cilantro and vinho verde (aka Bulhão Pato clams). This is yet another recipe inspired by our visit to chef Esteve's flat in Lisbon. He created a very similar dish for us and we've been obsessed with recreating it at home as often as possible, we hope you enjoy it as much as we do. This bowl of clams was not merely delicious, it was also life changing, since it made…

There’s nothing like a bowl of hearty, warming soup to get you through those last tedious weeks of winter. Store bought ramen is often high in sodium with up to 875mg per serving, and teaming with preservatives. It also typically contains wheat noodles, which are a no-go for most people with digestive issues or those trying to reduce gut inflammation. Lately, I've been using nu pasta instead of regular noodles to keep my overall carbohydrate consumption down. Nu pasta is made from the konjac plant, which is naturally low in carbs and tastes just like pasta when mixed with your…

I created this Gut-Healing Gummies recipe for a patient who wanted an easy and convenient way to take her daily supplements. These tasty little treats are fabulous for digestive health since they contain three of my favourite gut-healing supplements. The following functional foods are an important part of any gut-healing protocol because they help to repair leaky gut and feed the good bacteria in your intestinal tract: Gelatin: Gelatin makes up almost a third of all of the protein in our bodies, and a dietary deficiency of this key nutrient can wreak havoc on your gastrointestinal system. Gelatin, which comes from animal bones,…

I love a bowl of creamy soup on a cold winter day but I often have a hard time finding recipes that don't include heavy cream or milk (I stay away from dairy for the sake of my skin). After many lacklustre attempts I finally nailed this recipe for potato leek soup using coconut milk instead of cream. This version isn't vegan since it still contains bone broth (another one of my tricks for glowing skin), but is completely dairy-free and full of flavour. We make a big batch of this almost every week and it's become my favourite warming winter-time…

I'm officially all out of pumpkin puree so let's end this pumpkin theme off with my current favourite recipe. These gluten-free muffins are by far the best I've ever tasted (including those sugar-laden carbohydrate bombs found at my favourite coffee shop). It's a good thing that pumpkins are a super food since I'm pretty sure I've eaten my own weight in muffins this season. On that note ... let's quickly recap some of the health benefits of pumpkin so that we can all feel a little bit better about eating 3+ muffins in one sitting: A cup of pumpkin puree contains…
