A sweet and slightly spicy Chinese takeout favorite you can easily make right at home! This recipe for Gluten-Free General Tso’s Chicken is soy-free, paleo, top-8 allergy-free, and can be whipped up for the dinner table in a flash!

Because I’m trying to turn your kitchen into a Chinese takeout restaurant. What do they say? “Can’t stop, won’t stop”? “Don’t try to fix something that isn’t broken”? Americanized Chinese food (takeout) is not the most allergy-friendly cuisine to indulge in. That’s why you and I are here to show the world that we can change that. One glug of coconut aminos at a time!Read More

Easy Chinese take-out made right at home! This Gluten-Free Orange Chicken recipe is not only soy-free, but top-8 allergy-free, quick to make, & a whole lot healthier! With a sticky, sweet, & spicy homemade orange sauce, this remake on the classic take-out will be a new favorite dinner option (with killer leftovers!)

Why is orange chicken SO good? It will always rank as one of my top favorites, rivaling this one. There is something so delicious about that sweet sticky sauce with just a hint of spice that makes this orange chicken so good. The classic Chinese take-out orange chicken is typically deep-fried, loaded with sugar, salt, fat, gluten, soy, eggs, nuts…it needed to be remade, don’t you think?Read More

No oil needed for this Extra Crispy Gluten-Free Air Fryer Popcorn Chicken recipe! A healthier, super crunchy version of your fast food favorite that’s top 8 allergy-free, a mom-approved quick & easy dinner idea, and kid-friendly!

How many kitchen appliances can Rebecca fit in her house? I can tell you that we haven’t hit the limit yet! People are so obsessed with their Instant Pots right now, but in my humble opinion, Air Fryers should be leading the way! Imagine having the ability to “fry” foods to crispy, crunchy perfection without all the oil and grease. Imagine a super quick “pod” that literally uses hot air to cook (and bake!) just about any food in the nick of time. All this at the press of a button, right on your countertop, in your hot air pod of magic!Read More

The traditional Iranian stew with chicken and the deep flavors of pomegranate molasses and walnuts, now made easy right in the crock-pot! Slow Cooker Fesenjan Chicken is a hearty gluten-free & paleo dinner recipe that will warm the belly and soul!

This delicious Iranian dish has been a longtime coming! A family friend had told me about Fesenjan about 3 or 4 years ago. She raved about the indulgent, rich, deep flavors of the pomegranate molasses and rich nutty walnuts, cooked down to flavor the chicken. Traditionally cooked in a stew pot for hours, letting the flavors infuse and develop. My mouth was watering just listening to her description of the dish and how much she and her family loved it.Read More
