Low Oxalate Trail Mix

September 11, 2013

I took my boys on their first float trip this past weekend–an 8-hour rafting adventure on the Meramec River in southern Missouri with some friends from our church. I thought I’d share some of our menus and simple camping foods for those of you who also like outdoor adventures. I’ll also share our favorite ingredients […]

Coconut Flour Zucchini Bread

September 1, 2013

I was beginning to fear the summer was going to slip by without the chance to make my coconut flour zucchini bread. Then a neighbor dropped by a whole bag full. Score! Enough to enjoy plenty of yummy bread now and to freeze some for winter. This bread is just a modification of my coconut […]

Cilantro Lime Rice

July 27, 2013

Cilantro Lime Rice is a simple side dish that pairs well with Mexican or Tex-Mex cuisine, such as Chicken Enchiladas, Guacamole-Stuffed Southwest Burgers or Santa Fe Bean Salad. I like it best with lots of lime and a moderate amount of cilantro, but it’s easy to adjust the ingredients to your own tastes. All of the […]

Guacamole-Stuffed Southwest Burgers

July 4, 2013

My low oxalate guacamole-stuffed southwest burgers were modified for oxalate content from a recipe on Mark’s Daily Apple. These burgers are fantastic! I have always loved topping my burgers with guacamole, but somehow cooking the guacamole inside the burgers was truly magic. I love these burgers!  Of course, I always stuff too much guacamole in […]

Egg Roll Stir-Fry

June 13, 2013

I like to call this simple cabbage and ground beef meal egg roll stir-fry because it reminds me of eating the inside of an eggroll. It’s a really simple, low oxalate dish that I started making fifteen years ago and still make regularly. In fact, it’s one of my stand-bys, especially for lunches. I like […]

Bacon-Wrapped Tilapia

May 26, 2013

Bacon-wrapped tilapia is simple, quick and yummy! It was also the perfect recipe experiment for my inaugural “What I Ate Today” post. I thought it might be helpful for some of the new folks if I occasionally shared my daily menu, so you could get some menu planning ideas and see how the low oxalate […]

Avocado Egg Salad

May 20, 2013

Avocado Egg Salad was one of my staples when I started the low oxalate diet twenty some years ago. At that time, I was so sensitive to acidic foods that I had trouble with the small amount of vinegar in mayonnaise (acidic food sensitivity is a common problem for people with oxalate-related bladder, genital or […]

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

May 10, 2013

I love oatmeal raisin cookies, and these are very satisfying despite being the ultimate allergen-free cookie. My oatmeal raisin cookies are gluten-free, flour-free, egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free and low oxalate. You can also keep the sugar low if you want (see my note about sweeteners after the recipe.) Low oxalate oatmeal raisin cookies have a classic […]

My Dairy-Free, Wheat-Free, Nut-Free, Low Oxalate, Low Carb, Paleo Diet – EGADS!

April 3, 2013

It’s official now. I can no longer eat at potlucks, family gatherings or friends’ houses. Restaurants are mostly out, too, although some of the better ones can manage a gluten-free, dairy-free meal of steak, steamed broccoli and a salad. Why the big change? About a month ago I found out I am allergic to milk […]

Paleo Butternut Squash Cake with Cream Cheese Icing

February 27, 2013

Paleo Butternut Squash Cake is a fabulous, moist and lightly-sweet cake. My inspiration for trying this recipe was a growing desire to have carrot cake again. Or at least cream cheese icing! Carrot cake was my favorite cake while growing up, and I still miss it. My mom makes her cake with lots of carrots, […]
