BROCCOLI – A CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLE
Most people are aware that vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts are “cruciferous” vegetables, but have you ever wondered what that word actually means? The term “cruciferous” is an informal way of classifying members of the mustard family of vegetables and derives from the Latin word “Cruciferae” which means “cross bearing”. Vegetables in this category are so named because their 4-petaled leaves resemble (roughly) the shape of a cross.

Cruciferous vegetables are best known for their cancer fighting compounds but they’re also:

• high in fiber and calcium
• good sources of beta-carotene (turns into vitamin A)
• rich in vitamins C, E, and K
• low in calories

Broccoli is probably the most popular cruciferous vegetable here in the U.S. so it’s worth exploring new and different ways to prepare it because let’s face it, plain old steamed or roasted broccoli can get a little boring. How about trying this 3 Ingredient Broccoli Bread? It’s a fun, delicious way to eat broccoli and each slice contains the equivalent of more than 1 serving (1 cup) of broccoli. It’s also low-carb, keto, gluten-free and grain-free. (more…)

Low Carb Almond Flour Bread

Delicious, gluten-free bread made with super clean ingredients. Only 5 grams of carbs per slice.

Low Carb Almond Flour Bread AN EASY-TO-KEEP RESOLUTION
The New Year is a time for healthy eating resolutions – turning over a new leaf and setting dietary goals to change our lives for the better. But lasting improvement can only happen if one sticks to their intentions, and sadly, the research tells us that even though approximately half of all Americans make New Year’s resolutions, less than 10% actually keep them for more than a few months. Often times the problem is that people make resolutions that are too ambitious, like vowing to give up eating bread. The key to making resolutions one can keep, the experts tell us, is to set small, realistic goals, which, over a long period of time, can yield big results. For example, instead of giving up bread entirely, simply switch to eating bread that’s less refined and lower in sugar and carbohydrates than conventionally made bread – bread like this Low Carb Almond Flour Bread. It’s made with super healthy ingredients and is guaranteed to satisfy even the most intense bread craving. Now that’s a resolution anyone can keep! (more…)

Chickpea Chocolate Chip Banana Bread

This moist delicious quick bread has twice the protein and fiber as most banana bread. One of the best uses ever for overripe bananas!  JUMP TO RECIPE

Chickpea Chocolate Chip Banana Bread – This moist delicious bread has twice the protein and fiber as most banana bread thanks to super nutritious chickpea flour. One of the best uses ever for overripe bananas! | QueenofMyKitchen.com | #bananas #healthybaking #bananabread #chickpeaflour #garbanzobeanflour

Quick breads are no-yeast breads that can be made in a wide variety of sweet and savory flavors. These easy-to-make loaves are not only super-fast to make, as the name implies, but are a lot less finicky than bread made with yeast because you don’t need to be concerned about proofing the yeast (a process whereby you test the yeast ahead of time to make sure it’s active/alive) or whether you have the right climate for your bread to rise properly. Banana bread is by far the most popular in the quick bread category but most recipes you’ll come across call for all-purpose flour and refined sugar. This recipe for Chickpea Chocolate Chip Banana Bread is a bit healthier. It swaps out all-purpose flour for gluten-free, protein and fiber rich chickpea flour, uses coconut sugar in place of a refined sweetener, and throws in some dark chocolate chips to make it even more decadent. If you’re like me, and you stopped making banana bread once you decided to cut back on gluten and refined sugar, you can say HELLO to banana bread again! This rendition of traditional banana bread is every bit as tasty as any you’ve ever had – I promise! (more…)

Gluten-Free Cheesy Ruffle Bread - Ruffles magically appear as this bread batter bakes. Deliciously addictive and ready to eat in under 20 minutes! | QueenofMyKitchen.com | #bread #glutenfreebread #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipe #glutenfreerecipes

This bread is so delicious and addictive that my husband jokingly calls it “crack”, which is ironic because the first iteration of Gluten-Free Cheesy Ruffle Bread almost ended up in the trash. I was actually trying to develop a pizza crust when I came up with this recipe, but when I pulled the pan out of the oven the so-called “crust” was a bubbly, ruffled mess – not at all suitable for pizza toppings. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m maniacal about food waste I might have tossed it in the garbage, but I figured it was probably edible so I cut it into pieces and served it with dinner that night and much to my surprise, everyone loved it, and I mean REALLY loved it!

The food that people miss most when they switch to a gluten-free diet is undoubtedly bread. I don’t adhere exclusively to a gluten-free diet but decided several years ago, for various reasons, to avoid gluten as much as possible. It was really hard at first because like most people, I love bread, but thankfully I quickly discovered lots of gluten-free options that satisfy my cravings and I’ve had fun developing recipes that are great alternatives to traditional wheat bread (see links in the last paragraph of this post). These Broccoli Bread Slices are my newest creation and they are REALLY delicious! (more…)

I’m not sure who came up with the idea of making bread in the microwave but whoever they are, they should be given some kind of an award! I’m calling my take on this trending recipe Miracle Microwave Gluten-Free Bread Slices. The first time I saw a recipe for microwave bread was in celebrity chef Rocco DiSpirito’s cookbook Healthy & Delicious: More than 200 (Mostly) Plant-Based Recipes for Everyday Life. At the time I remember thinking that there was no way this recipe could possibly work. Healthy, gluten-free, dairy free bread made in the microwave in under 2 minutes? No yeast, no gluten? It sounded too good to be true. I was so intrigued I tried the recipe right then and there and was amazed at the results. Since then I’ve seen countless similar recipes, both online and in print publictions, but the recipe and technique that I subsequently came up for making microwave bread differs from most others out there. Read on. (more…)

Kefir Flatbreads

I’ve been on a kefir roll lately and these gluten-free Kefir Flatbreads are my newest creation using this tart and tangy, probiotic rich dairy product. I just love kefir as an ingredient in healthy recipes and use it regularly as a substitute in dishes that call for yogurt or buttermilk. The results have been delicious. In case you’re not familiar with this increasingly popular health food, kefir (pronounced KUH-FEER) is a cultured milk product high in protein, calcium, and Vitamin D, and full of probiotics that strengthen immunity and promote gut-health. It has a thinner consistency than yogurt and a slightly effervescent quality that has earned it the title “Champagne of Dairy”. If you haven’t tried kefir yet, don’t wait one minute longer. You can find it in the dairy aisle at almost any grocery store nowadays; it’s usually right alongside the yogurt and smoothies. (more…)

Kefir Sesame Egg Bagels

Make these soft, delicious, homemade bagels with just a handful of ingredients in about 30 minutes.  Gluten-free too!

Kefir Sesame Egg Bagels are soft, delicious, homemade bagels you can make with just a handful of ingredients in about 30 minutes. Gluten-free too! | QueenofMyKitchen.com | #bagel #bagels #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #glutenfreebagels #breakfast

Bagels are very time-consuming to make at home. You have to mix up a yeast-based dough, give it plenty of time to rise, shape the dough into bagels, and then dunk each one into simmering water. And that’s all before you even bake them! It’s quite a production and can take several hours. So, when I discovered a way to make homemade bagels with just a few ingredients in about half an hour, it was a game-changer. These Kefir Sesame Egg Bagels are a quick, delicious substitute for traditional bagels and they’re gluten-free. (more…)
