Cereal can be such an easy quick food, it can also be a comforting food. Most cereals you find on the shelves today are loaded with food-dyes, pesticide sprayed grains and too much sugar. And while we prioritize protein at the start of our day sometimes moms just need a little snack that reminds us of our childhood. Or an easy breakfast for the kids. Say it with me. We 👏🏼 don’t 👏🏼 have 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 be 👏🏼 perfect. Tried that. Didn’t work out for me. I put together an alternative for you, a healthier chocolate puff cereal, to try that’s both fun to make and not full of all the junk. As always it’s gluten and dairy free! INGREDIENTS

gluten free - dairy free - soy free - sugar free - nut free Bringing back a CLASSIC breakfast. My Paleo Biscuits and Gravy was one of the first recipes that debuted on this blog almost TEN years ago (I'll spare you the link, my photography of it back then wasn't stellar, haha. If you look hard enough around here you can find it.) and I wanted to create a new and improved recipe now that I have mastered flakier biscuits and a creamier gravy than I previously made. While not paleo, you could swap the gluten free 1 to 1 with a Cassava flour to keep it grain free. Or you could stick with my OG recipe suggestion of almond flour for a denser, heartier biscuit. You do you, but I like the FLUFF. So much healthier than the restaurant variety, you can make extra gravy and freeze it to keep on hand for weekend brunches and breakfasts. I would suggest making your biscuits fresh, but you can freeze them as well. Biscuits and GravyBiscuit Ingredients

Directions For The Gravy
Serve these up with a fresh fruit salad and piping hot coffee or tea for a delectable morning indulgence. This recipe remind me of a rainy day or breakfast at a small-town café. Do Biscuits and Gravy bring to mind any special memories for you? My delicious Glazed Cinnamon Pumpkin Donuts, which traditionally use Almond Flour and Egg, now have a nut-free, egg-free variation. They are smaller and softer than their nuttier, dense counterpart. A favorite of my husbands these are not grain-free but are gluten-free, of course, and so delicious. See the recipe below! Ingredients:
Donuts: dry: 1/4 c. potato starch 1/4 c. oat flour 1/4 c. brown rice flour 1/4 c. tapioca starch 3/4 tsp. baking soda 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar 2 tsp. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ginger wet: 1/4 c. honey 1 TBSP. coconut oil 1/4 c. dairy-free milk 2 TBSP. organic applesauce 1/4 C. canned organic pumpkin Glaze: 1 C. Corn-Free Confectioners Sugar (I use an organic cane sugar/tapioca starch blend) 2 TBSP. Vegan Butter (I use Earth Balance Dairy-Free/Soy-Free) 1 1/2 TBSP. non-dairy milk Directions: For Donuts: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease donut pan LIBERALLY with coconut oil or coconut oil spray. Combine dry ingredients and mix well with handheld mixer. Combine wet ingredients and mix well with handheld mixer. Pour wet mixture into dry mixture and mix once more until well blended. Empty contents from bowl into piping bag or ziploc bag to disperse easily into donut pan. Fill donut pan 3/4 of the way and cook for 15 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan and glazing. For Glaze: Mix ingredients once donuts have cooled and dip donuts to cover top. Set for 5 - 10 minutes until glaze solidifies. If glaze hardens before you are finished dipping, or if you are baking multiple batches, simply warm the glaze on low for 2-3 minutes to reuse. This week I started prepping and planning recipes to make in bulk for post baby. She's due in just over 9 weeks! WHAT?! This pregnancy has gone lightning fast (after the first trimester, anyways. Woof. So sick.) and I'm just now trying to get my booty into gear on planning, buying and prepping all the things. Sweet girl will be in our room for the first year or so, so no nursery was designed this time around. Keeping it simple helps not only your prenatal sanity but your budget as well. Which lets you spend more on high quality, nutritious food for pregnancy and post-baby! Below is my recipe for a DELICIOUS, easy and homemade Banana Bread Granola. Gluten, dairy and refined sugar free, its much healthier than granola's your find in your local health food store and it took no time at all to whip up. I make this in large batches, dry it completely, then store it in a sealed glass container to eat on for the week or for a couple of weeks. I'll be making a triple batch pre-baby arrival, as oats are AMAZING for milk production when nursing. Also, you could add nuts to this if you like for added protein and crunch, I however am a banana bread purest and don't care for nuts in it. Enjoy! Ingredients

gluten free - vegan - yeast free - soy free - corn free Can everyday be Sunday? There's something slower, something sweeter, simpler and more divine about Sundays. Thankful God gave us this day of rest and holiness and beauty. We slept in (thank you Grey!) and made our way slowly,but hungrily, into the kitchen where my little one helped make fluffy, warm and sweet ooey gooey vegan cinnamon rolls from scratch. More laborious than most of my other recipes, but so worth it. I would definitely mark them down in the treat column because it's one of the very, very few recipes where I used cane sugar, but they are gluten free, soy free, yeast free, corn free and completely vegan! The trick to making buttermilk cinnamon rolls without the buttermilk? Lemon juice in coconut or almond cream! A trick I'm SO glad I learned early on. Have a blessed and happy Sunday with those you love. Ooey Gooey Vegan Cinnamon RollsINGREDIENTS For the dough:

So I did a thing. And it was amazing. My son asked for donuts last weekend and I awoke to find I was out of our gluten free 1 to 1 flour. What's a mom to do?! S'Mores Donuts. I grabbed a bag of our gluten free pancake and waffle mix and decided to sub it for my normal donut recipe flour. Having just returned from his first camping trip, with a newfound love of S'Mores, I tossed a few mini marshmallows on top and some crumbled GF graham crackers. He. Ate. It. Up. Literally. And I have to say, I love my original donut recipe, but the pancake mix added a subtle sweetness and moist, chewy, cakey consistency that made these highly addictive and disappear before the weekend was over. |

aboutNosh & Nurture was born of this journey I am on to better the health of myself, my family and those around me. What started as a simple compilation of recipes has grown to a all-around lifestyle journal with ways to incorporate organic products into your home, pantry and beauty cabinet. I also include stories on pregnancy, new motherhood, travel, Proverbs 31 marriage, and spiritual health, as I am a Christian who couldn't do any of this without my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.

All recipes are gluten-free and dairy-free with a lot of soy-free, grain-free, sugar-free options. |
