Ever since my less than successful attempt at coconut flour noodles awhile back, I’ve been dreaming of ways to make the experience, the idea, and the flavorsome food, more victorious. I needed a way to create grain-free coconut flour pasta. About 6 months ago, I knew deep down I had discovered a way – the…

A bit of fresh broccoli, seasonly spiced pepperoni, and perfectly “poached” pasta with fresh basil sits on our dinner table tonight. I like to call myself an “efficiency expert.” Sure, you can call me Frank or Lillian Gilbreth (I’m wondering who will catch this reference) in jest, but I’m actually quite talented in the world of…

I need not mention that this began as an effort in sweet potato gnocchi. Grain-free, gluten-free, and “gum” free stuff is tough. (Remember the How NOT to Make Coconut Flour Noodles tutorial?)

Without all the hullabaloo, we can identify, contemplate,…

After my coconut flour noodle fail, I’ve been contemplating and coming up with ways to “noodle” other things ~ grainless “things,” that is. I’ve become a little obsessed with noodling, in fact. This is not to be confused with “canoodling,” as much as Brian might desire. I’ve been zoodling, parsnoodling, kohlraboodling, and now egg noodling!…
