Pickled Beet Deviled Eggs | Chris Loves Julia

Pickled Beet Deviled Eggs | Chris Cooks

Deviled eggs are underrated. And also under-experimented with, considering eggs are one of the most versatile and widely-used ingredients out there. And even though we have bouts of egg-free eating, when Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas roll around I can't skip making a version of this tasty appetizer. Serving Platter | Ceramic Bunnies I also love […]

Easter Brunch | Chris Loves Julia

Chris Cooks

Light & Healthy Easter Brunch

I tell myself that I'm not a brunch person. But what is brunch, but a late breakfast? And I'm definitely a late breakfast person so, I guess I am a brunch person. But particularly on holidays, when the brunch sets me up for the main meal coming later. My approach with brunch is simple. Keep […]

Cheese-less Potato Casserole - Grain & Dairy Free

Growing up in the Utah/Idaho corridor, "funeral potatoes" have been commonplace my entire life. Of course once people realized it was a bit of a dark name for such an amazing dish, many started calling it "cheesy potato casserole" instead. Whatever you call the dish, goodness sakes its hard to beat. Ruffled Baking Dish | […]

Chipotle Chicken Dip - Grain & Dairy Free | Chris Cooks

If I were a little more aware of what sports things happen when, I probably would have posted this a few weeks ago. But really, a good dip is always good. And this one is good. Free from grain, gluten, dairy, soy, egg - so creamy, a touch of spice, and lots of flavor. If […]

Dairy Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse | Chris Loves Julia

Chris Cooks

Dairy-Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Mousse | Chris Cooks

For me, simple desserts are hard to beat. A scoop of good ice cream. A cool creme brûlée. A piece of cheesecake. But what do those all have in common? Dairy. So especially when it comes to a romantic dinner for two, desserts can be tough on those with food restrictions. And nothing kills romance […]

Chilled Glass Noodles with Peanut Sauce

Chris Cooks

Chilled Glass Noodles with Peanut Sauce | Chris Cooks

In the world of grain-free eating, glass noodles are Heaven-sent. Not as a substitute, in my opinion. Meaning, I wouldn't necessarily suggest ladling a scoop of marinara over top with some Italian meatballs. But for the joy of eating a noodle, and an openness to try something new, this ingredients will quickly become a pantry […]

Chocolate Peppermint Caramel Corn (Vegan)

Chris Cooks

Vegan-Friendly Chocolate Peppermint Caramel Corn | Chris Cooks

I've shared a version of my caramel corn in the past, but since that time I've tweaked the recipe a tad and I really think it's become something out-of-this-world special. Especially considering that it's dairy free. Now, Jules is typically grain free. But every year around Christmas she asks me to make a batch of […]

Caramelized Onion Frittata - Make-Ahead Breakfast | Chris Cooks

Christmas morning is always a blur at our house, and adding a holiday-worthy breakfast into the mix is a bit much. To keep it simple, every year I prep a frittata on the 23rd then just add eggs and bake Christmas morning. Ruffle Bakeware | Striped Dish Towel | Gold Flatware Frittata options are endless, […]

Swedish Meatballs (Free of Gluten, Grain & Dairy) | Chris Cooks

The first time I made this for my family, my daughter asked, "What's the difference between Swedish meatballs and Italian meatballs?" I thought for a few seconds and said, "Italian meatballs taste like summer, and Swedish meatballs taste like winter." Le Creuset Dutch Oven | Silverware | Wooden Spoon Obviously this is a gross generalization. […]

Dairy & Grain-Free Creamy Mashed Potatoes & Gravy | Chris Cooks

Growing up eating mashed potatoes, I didn't really know what I was eating - just that I loved it. Once food restrictions enter the picture, it's kind of mind blowing just how much butter and cream go into making a classic, creamy mashed potato. Add gravy, and you're almost always talking about some kind of […]

Baked Blueberries with Pancetta Pecan Crumble | Chris Cooks

If you look at most desserts, gluten and dairy are part of almost all of them. For your friends and family that may have food restrictions, this can feel a little isolating - I've seen it happen to Jules and our daughters countless times. And while they're always positive and good sports about it, it's […]

Meatloaf - Grain, Gluten, Dairy, Egg Free | Chris Loves Julia

Chris Cooks

Gluten Free Meatloaf (Also Grain, Dairy & Egg Free) | Chris Cooks

Meatloaf is classically made with breadcrumbs (or milk-soaked bread if you're a bit extra), eggs, and often grated hard cheese of some kind. And when food allergies pop up, it can start to feel like you'll never enjoy the classics again. And while we still wait and hope for suitable replacements for some things (lookin' […]

Fire Roasted Salsa | Chris Cooks

Salsa has been tricky for me, which sounds silly. I've made several versions, and historically the best ones I've made have used canned tomatoes. As someone who is trying to move to "fresh" as much as I can, that's been frustrating. But it makes sense, because canned tomatoes usually contain additional things that make the […]

3 Amazing Desserts for the Ninja CREAMi | Chris Cooks

It's no secret we have some food allergies in this house, which can make dessert kind of tricky. I kid you not, our dessert woes are forever over because of this one kitchen appliance.

Sweet & Sour Shrimp (Grain & Gluten Free) | Chris Cooks

Asian food is tricky for a lot of food allergies, particularly grain & gluten. For example, sweet & sour sauce. Typically made with rice vinegar, thickened with corn starch, seasoned with soy sauce (which most often contains gluten). But with a few substitutions, this version hits all the highs without the dietary lows that can […]

I recently had the honor of showing my parents around this new place we call home and it was a delight. Also a delight was making this coconut mango breakfast tart for my mom. Happy Mother's Day Mom! Patting myself on the back here, but this tart checks all the boxes of light, creamy, tart, […]

Paleo Fried Chicken Lettuce Wraps (gluten free, dairy free, egg free, grain free)

There aren't many foods I enjoy more than fried chicken, though it's obviously not so great for you. But what's life without a little give and take?! For example, batter the chicken, make it gluten/dairy/egg/grain free. Fry the chicken, but opt for lettuce wraps. Something I think gets lost among those of us without food […]
