Grain Free Sponge Cake

This is the 2017 updated & improved recipe for my potato flour sponge cake. I make this for special occasions and its always a hit.

Thermomix Quinoa and Buckwheat Bread

In the years since first making my Original Gluten Free Bread recipe, it still is a staple in our house.  Even though I am now mostly paleo in my approach the rest of the family love this bread.

This recipe is the latest version.  It remains easy to tweak so that it is “failsafe” for kids who need a low food chemical diet, and it is certainly many times better than any commercial gluten free or grain free bread on the market.  This recipe uses pseudocereals (also called pseudo-grains,  I’ve talked about it before here and here.) Here is my take: quinoa and buckwheat are not approved if you are paleo, on GAPS or SCD or are doing a Whole30.  They don’t work for everyone, I completely agree.  However, this recipe is provided for everyone who loved the original recipe and would like the new version of a nutrient dense, great textured, grain-free bread that is low food chemical and soy free.

Quinoa Date and Pecan Bread

This cafe style pecan and date bread is delicious if you can tolerate or are allowed quinoa flour and starches. Not suitable for paleo, GAPS, SCD or Whole30 but great if you are avoiding gluten and grains but are fine with the pseudo cereals.
