GAPS Recipes – The Well Fed Homestead (2024)

This meal doesn't look very pretty, but it was very, very good. We have a hook over our fireplace for cooking with a cast iron pot. It swings out, and so the pot really sits kind of beside the fire rather than right over it, but it works well.

I ate these today, yesterday; and I plan to eat them tomorrow, too! I really like these. :)

I've been writing out menu plans every week, but last week I was not on top of getting things defrosted when I needed to. SO, since we still needed to eat, I had to come up with some impromptu, easy-to-defrost-and-cook-quickly meals. :) I came up with this dinner idea, and my family LOVED it. We will certainly be making this again! (Well, The Farmer and I LOVED the mushroom burger part of it. The kids loved the cheeseburger part of it. :))

Farm Boy 1 (9 years old) helped me make these pancakes. They are so easy, I think he could manage them all on his own!

I am in love. Ok, first with my God, second with my husband, third with my kids, but fourth? Fourth with these lovely chocolates. :) Have I mentioned that I love chocolate? And that we went 9 months or so on GAPS with NO chocolate because we thought we couldn't have it on the diet? Yes, let me tell you, it was torture. ;) Well, this is just what I needed to make up for those months of torture...

Since I just shared about a good deal on organic canned pumpkin, now I want to share a good recipe to go with it!

I was super excited to accidently come up with this recipe. I came up with another coconut flour brownie recipe last week, and then "messed up" on it this weekend right before having guests over, and was amazed at my mistake. They were SO good! :) If you know me, you know I love me some chocolate, so this is going to become a staple in my home (you know, on the weekly list, like: Make butter, make yogurt, make granola, soak seeds, make brownies). Yup. I love them THAT much. :)

When most people think of losing weight and getting healthier, they think of portion control and tasteless meals. We haven’t done any portion controlling, and our meals have been super yummy! Here’s a snapshot of some of the foods we have eaten over the last year. Many of these recipes can be found in my cookbooks, A Whole Food Holiday and Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes. Keep in mind that these recipes can be cooked throughout the year!

If you attended public school and ate in the cafeteria (or if your mother made this when you were young), you might just miss grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup. Well, we're strict GAPS/SCD eaters around here, and yet, we were able to eat this meal tonight! Want my secrets? Ok, I'll share! :)

Craving pizza? This version is grain free, gluten free, GAPS and SCD legal and oh-so-yummy!
