Well don't you think it's about time you tried some Italian food??? I know you can't do starches, but geez we ALL need a little treat every so often!

On your next birthday or anniversary or heck even tomorrow, treat yourself with a spoonful. Just be sure to take your diflucan!

And read the restaurant's ratings beforehand. It would suck to have anything but the best risotto especially if you're eating it for the first time.

And call the place ahead of time and ask them if their chicken broth is GF. Most places don't know for sure so ask them to read the ingredients on the label. That's the only substance in risotto that might contain gluten.

I know. Most rice in restaurants is not GF. Sigh.

Real Salt and pepper to taste

Then add the tomatoes and paste and cover for 10 minutes.

Then uncover and simmer for 5 more minutes until the sauce is getting thicker.

Once the sauce has a good consistency, add the meatballs carefully. Simmer in the sauce for 15 min on medium with the lid on the pan.

The meatballs should be tender and moist.

You can serve with sauteed zucchini or baked spaghetti squash and top with more fresh herbs.

These cookies puffed up like scones and we had to flatten them 1/2 way through cooking.

I discovered this recipe last week when I was craving chocolate chip cookies. It can totally be made without the sugar.

I had a couple for breakfast the next morning.

I made it with ghee and between that and the coconut flour, it had a sweet/nutty flavor.

You could probably also substitute the chocolate chips and experiment.

Warning, the beans did give me some gas.

This site has a lot of great stuff on it. I need to be starch free along with gluten free which can be tough, but she has a lot of great ideas. I am going to be purchasing an ice cream maker as I am dying to try out her recipes for it. http://bettyrawker.com/

They have a show called recipe rehab

I just saw it by accident...and was impressed they used almond flour and coconut oil to make a crust...

I know its a grain...but i think its great coconut oil is going mainstream
