Have you been following my grain journey? I am currently transitioning off the GAPS diet, which is a temporary healing protocol for fixing gut flora imbalance among other things. Fortunately for me, Ann Marie at CHEESESLAVE happens to be starting a Healthy Whole Grains E-Course, chock full of more than 100 recipes, 50 video tutorials, and 12 weeks of online classes. That is a great package, and from one of my favorite bloggers!
And fortunately for all of you, Ann Marie has agreed to give away one membership to her class for FREE to one of you, my lucky and lovely readers! See below the fold to enter the giveaway! You just might win! In the meantime, sign up for the class, and if you happen to win, you will get your fee refunded at the end of the giveaway on February 14th.
Ann Marie over at CHEESESLAVE is launching a new class called the Healthy Whole Grains — Soaking, Sprouting, Sourdough E-course. You get lifetime access to all the videos, classes, and recipes, not to mention the opportunity to learn from a tried and true real foodie, Ann Marie!
If you are currently eating grains, but are new to real food, then this class is for you. If you are coming off the GAPS diet and are starting to reintroduce grains, then this class is for you. But most of all, if you are the kind of foodie nerd who just loves to learn new techniques and recipes, then this class is for you!
Normally the class is $199, but it is currently on sale for $149 if you go here. However, if you use the $20 coupon code “SPROUT20″ then it’s only $129! But that deal is only good until Sunday, February 12. It’s never going to be sold for this little, so grab it while you can!

Rich with fresh eggs and cream, this smooth custard is dotted with beautiful jewel-toned berries and sweetened with whole cane sugar and a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg. Topped with a bit of sweetened and whipped cream, this is a stunning presentation perfect for any occasion.
Serve it for breakfast or brunch, as a sweeter re-imagining of traditional eggs. Alternately, serve it for dessert as an elegant dish that will delight your guests but won’t tie you up in the kitchen for hours. Simple real foods make all the difference when you let them shine in their clean and pure forms. Continue reading →

Garlic & Herb Vinaigrette
This is the next installment of my REAL FOOD 101 series. You can find all the REAL FOOD 101 posts by clicking here.
My lovely Basic Vinaigrette is a simple dressing; an excellent recipe to have on hand. Prepared as written it can go with nearly any green salad, cooked veggie, or anything else that needs a little oil for richness and acid for sharp contrast. I have even tossed it with rice salads and it’s perfect.
However, I have a particular version of this vinaigrette I use almost 100% of the time due to the predictable freak out that everyone has whenever I use it. Yes, it’s that good. Who knew that real food ingredients could make such a difference? (I know, I knew it already too!) I call it my Garlic & Herb Dressing, and it’s based on a dressing recipe from here. Of course I had to double the garlic and mustard, but I think it’s perfect that way. Every time I make this dressing, people rant and rave about it. Continue reading →

Grain-Free Salted Caramel Bars
A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post outlining some of my favorite GAPS bloggers and their recipe lists, called 5 Recipe Resources for GAPS. Then I chose a few of my favorite recipes from their lists I have already tried, and some that I want to try in the future. Well, of course five on a list is not enough! Here are five more blogs that I love to peruse and find GAPS and grain-free recipes, as well as gain inspiration for new recipes of my own.
Remember that I am also currently hosting the GAPS Challenge, and we just hit the halfway mark and started Week Three this Sunday. Time flies! You can still join the GAPS Challenge here, and you can grab a copy of the ebook here.
