Why Follow A Dairy
Well, let me explain.
You see, we all have consumed grains, dairy, legumes, and meat in our lifetime, yes? Yes! I eat them all. Gluten-free grains of course.
But heres the thing. As I sit here typing up this post, I can tell my brain and body need a little calming down. Its been on the crazy cycle for oh weeks now! YIKES! Yes, stress can really take a toll on ones health and deplete you of important key MINERALS.
You know what else it can do? It can cause that oxidative stress to rise and if we are under chronic stress , the physical and mental kind, then our immune system is going to have a hard time responding. It will try to react and recover but doesnt have the necessary nutrients in order to do so. Hey, its pretty tired of trying to fight, ya know? Hence the continuous inflammation of the body and brain. Sad, but true.
On the other hand, a little stress and a little inflammation can be good for the body. If you are healthy, managing stress, and moving the body daily, then your body will easily recover from that acute stress and build it up stronger.
Unfortunately, for many of us, we get stuck in the chronic stress cycle. Am I right? Raising hand! Which is why I thought it was about time we make another anti-inflammatory meal plan. Our first anti-inflammatory meal plan focused on grain-free and gluten-free recipes. This plan focuses on gluten-free and dairy-free.

Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
Texture wise, these cookies are super deceptive. Bake them too short, and theyll be super soft and need to be enjoyed pretty much immediately or within the first day. Bake them too long, and youll be left with crackers instead of cookies. The happy balance is to remove the cookies from the oven when they still look soft. Once they are out of the oven and cooling, they will firm up VERY fast, but still be chewy, soft and irresistible.
The original recipe calls for one cup of sugar , but I found with monk fruit sweetener, three-quarters of a cup was plenty. In fact, I found them to be a little too sweet, which is why SALTED almond butter was the next best sub.
Savory Gluten & Dairy Free Avocado Toast With Sardines
This is one of my favorite sugar free savory breakfast recipe that is really quick to make.
This savory breakfast its really satisfying for those days when you have salty cravings. The rich fatty flavor and texture of this avocado toast helps cut down on the fishy notes of the sardine, turning this simple gluten free dairy free breakfast into something very delicious and filling!
For this I used agluten free sourdough bread bunthat I previously made. I keep them in the freezer and in the morning, I just throw a few buns in the toaster, slice or mush some avocado, and top them with caned wild caught sardines.
I like those sardines because the fish is cleaned and deboned, theyre in olive oil, not soy, plus theyre wild caught, not farmed. Farmed fish are usually genetically modified and fed with chemicals.
The best part about sardines is that they are also one of the most nutritious fishes in the sea. They have one of the most concentrated sources of omega-3 fatty acids plus theyre a great source of vitamin D, and vitamin B12.

Low Glycemic Sweeteners: Sweetening Power That Wont Sour Your Health
Few of us have the willpower to resist a freshly-baked, meltingly delicious, chocolate chip cookie. The smell wafting out of the kitchen and the sight of their gooey goodness is just too enticing to pass up.
Unfortunately, most of us go through life indulging, only to suffer from post-dessert guilt and sugar-induced sluggishness. Or we deprive ourselves for the sake of our health and waistline.
But thanks to all natural, low glycemic sweeteners, desserts are back on the menu for the health-and-body conscious crowd guilt free!
Unlike the chemical-laden, artificial sweeteners that we warn about and disallow at Healing Gourmet, these natural sweeteners provide a powerful punch of sweetness, without the toxic side effects.
And because they are low glycemic, they wont spike your blood sugar the way sugar does.
Heres the rundown on natures sweetest sugar substitutes that wont sour your health:
How To Make Gluten
To make gluten-free sugar cookies dairy-free, you can use vegan butter in place of butter. In some of my other cookie recipes, I also use coconut oil for my baking.
In this recipe, every ingredient seems to come through in the taste. The vegan butter tastes closer to a real sugar cookie that is made with butter.

Egg Substitutes: Bind Your Desserts And Make Them Rise Allergen
Eggs are a near-perfect food. But not if you have an egg allergy!
Unfortunately, commercial egg replacers contain soy protein and wheat gluten- two highly processed, allergenic ingredients that cause digestive discomfort for many people.
But there are natural, unprocessed allergen-free ingredients that can be used to replace eggs and theyre probably in your pantry right now!
Before attempting an egg substitute, you need to determine the function eggs have in your recipe. Eggs can bind, leaven or moisturize.If a recipe contains only one egg, but a fair amount of baking powder or baking soda, then the egg is serving as the binder. This is an easy replacement that can be achieved with almost any of the substitutes listed below.
But if a recipe contains many eggs like a soufflé eggs are acting as the leavener and the binder. And the substitution will be a flop.
As a general rule, the fewer eggs a recipe calls for, the easier they will be to substitute.
- 2 tbsp cornstarch = 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. arrowroot flour = 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. potato starch = 1 egg
- 1 mashed banana = 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp. milled flax seed + 3 Tbsp. water = 1 egg
- ¼ cup unsweetened apple sauce = 1 egg
- ¼ cup organic plain yogurt, whipped = 1 egg
- 2 Tbsp. water + 1 Tbsp. oil + 1 tsp. baking powder. Mix well. = 1 egg
- 1 tbsp agar agar powder + 1 tbsp water. Whip together. Chill. Whip it again. = 1 egg white
- ¼ cup cooked pumpkin or winter squash = 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp. xanthan gum + 1/4 cup of water. Let stand, then whip. 1 egg white
