These dilly gluten-free matzo balls are light, fluffy and flavorful despite not using baking powder (the schmaltz is optional too if you are keeping them vegetarian!). They easily come together from meal or whole blitzed matzo, and can be boiled in advance before making their grand appearance in your Passover chicken soup bowls! As I lamented in my matzo ball soup post, one of the downsides of not hosting seder at my own house is that I don’t get to make gluten-free matzo balls. (Luckily, this Passover brisket makes up for it). So I’ve taken to making matzo ball soup at other times of year to ..read more

This Provençal chicken recipe has the one pan ease of a classic Marbella but is made with Mediterranean flavors: olives, tomatoes, dates and no added sugar. It’s a perfect gluten-free dairy-free Kosher chicken option for Passover seder. This Provencal chicken recipe is something I’ve been making for over a decade. It was originally published in my first cookbook in a chapter on budget cooking for large crowds. I believe it was originally inspired by a Chicken Provencal recipe from the queen herself, Ina Garten, but made slightly sweet and sour to be reminiscent of another thrifty one pan favo ..read more

The podcast is back for a very special two-part bonus episode series dedicated to the subject of carbs and IBS. Which also just so happens to be the subject of my new cookbook! On the last episode, I explained the role of carbohydrates in our digestive process and their impact on metabolic health. We also discussed how our blood sugar is very much dependent on the health of our gut. In today’s episode, I’m going to tell you how to put all this information into practice in your daily life. These are some of the best tips from my new book CARBIVORE about how to incorporate carbs into your diet ..read more

This Italian-inspired dairy-free lemon olive oil cake is light yet moist thanks to the almond flour, citrus zest, and whipped egg whites. Since it’s made without dairy products, conventional flour or baking soda, it’s a perfect Kosher Passover cake to serve at seder. The past two Octobers, I’ve been lucky enough to travel to Sicily. Usually, when I’m in a foreign country, I’m forced to watch as my husband goes from bakery to bakery (like on his Paris croissant crawl) and sample every delicious local delicacy with sugar in it. But in Italy, there’s usually a few gluten-free desserts to choose ..read more

This savory granola recipe uses four types of seeds for a fiber-packed low sugar breakfast that will remind you of your favorite everything bagel! It’s also a wonderful gluten-free snack to have on hand. One of the big lessons in my new cookbook CARBIVORE is that it’s so much better for your blood sugar to start the day with a savory breakfast instead of sweet. And yet, so many of our traditional breakfast foods, especially the packaged options for convenience, are full of a shocking amount of added sugar. Just turn over any store-bought granola and you’ll see that your breakfast might be blo ..read more

This moist and tender baked boneless pork loin roast is foolproof thanks to my herby mustard glaze. It’s elegant enough to serve on Easter or Christmas, but also also easy enough to slow roast for a weeknight dinner centerpiece. It’s gluten-free, dairy-free and can be low FODMAP without the garlic! Growing up mostly celebrating Jewish holidays, I didn’t really have many occasions to make a big pork roast for a crowd. But my mother would sometimes for special occasions like birthdays or winter long weekends make a French-inspired baked pork loin smothered in Dijon mustard, woody herbs and simm ..read more

Also known as Jewish penicillin, this easy chicken noodle soup is packed with healthy healing vegetables and herbs. It is truly the best simple base for an authentic matzo ball soup if you swap matzo balls (for the noodles) at your seder. It’s perfect paired with my fan-favorite gluten-free Passover brisket (100+ 5-star reviews)! Since my branch of the family is not usually responsible for hosting Passover seder, the matzo ball soup is usually not made with gluten-free matzo balls, meaning I’m forced to create my own version outside the holiday to get my comfort food Jewish chicken soup fix ..read more

This gluten-free chicken enchiladas recipe uses an easy creamy homemade red sauce and is baked in a casserole dish with kale. All the ingredients get roasted together on a sheet pan in the oven, before the chicken is shredded and added to the roasted tomato sauce. You can make it dairy-free by using plant-based cheese or turn them into Low FODMAP enchiladas by omitting the garlic. My chicken Green chile enchiladas have previously required a warning label. Or, so I’ve been told. The recipe for gluten-free chicken enchiladas from my first cookbook is to my repertoire what engagement chicke ..read more

These gluten-free wings are baked in the oven until the chicken is crispy and tender, then tossed with a dairy-free buffalo sauce. They’re easy, mildly spicy, and even better served with my gluten-free ranch for your next game day. Gluten-free buffalo wings are one of the few things that would entice me to get excited about an afternoon watching football. Which has historically meant motivation has been low, as it’s nearly impossible to find a sports bar that doesn’t fry their wings with other breaded things. But as the weather has gotten colder, and Sundays have become more high stakes, I’ve ..read more
