Elena's Pantry

It's been a super busy week over here at Elana's Pantry.  The boys are back in school and I'm working on a couple of fun holiday articles for different magazines. In between all of that, I'm hoping to attend some fun holiday gatherings this weekend and have been looking through my recipes to figure out [...]

This Chocolate Ice Cream is perfect for summer's end, which usually corresponds with the upcoming Labor Day holiday (stay tuned for a Healthy Labor Day Recipe Roundup post later this week!); the added spices warm up this vegan gluten free dessert for chilly Fall nights approaching. My recipe is based on one from Elise of [...]

These Green Chili Turkey Burgers are based on a fabulous recipe from Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint Cookbook. His recipe is actually called Fried Eggs Over Green Chili Burgers, and is yet another high-protein entree from the king of primal that my entire family enjoyed. Green Chili Turkey Burgers 2 (4 oz.) cans diced green chiles [...]

My garden is flourishing and the basil plants are doing particularly well.  Hence pesto, gluten free, dairy free, chopping board pesto.  A couple of years ago, I saw a recipe in the local paper for a chopping board pesto, and then just the other day, my friend the fabulous Patrick reminded me about making pesto [...]

Finally, a gluten free cracker that is egg free as well!  Who do I have to thank for this tasty cracker?  Mark Sisson of Mark's Daily Apple and author of The Primal Blueprint and The Primal Blueprint Cookbook.  I am a huge fan of Mark and his work. How did I find him?  When he [...]

This recipe for quick and easy grilled salmon is based on Kalyn's Grilled Salmon with Maple Syrup Glaze from Kalyn's Kitchen.  I find that her site is a fantastic source overall, and particularly for protein filled entrees.  I had the pleasure of being on a panel at Blogher last year with Kalyn, and am looking [...]

This gluten free, dairy free and vegan Chocolate Sorbet recipe is an oldie but goodie from my recipe archives. What are these archives of which I speak? A binder with more than a thousand of my unpublished recipes. Anyway, this frozen treat is one of my mother-in-law's favorite gluten free desserts, and she asks me to [...]

My garden is over run by cucumbers --in fact, we have a total cucumber infestation, so I am busy pickling away.  This recipe for Dill Pickles is one of my favorites.  The recipe comes from Carol Gold, mother of my good friend Susie Gold, and it is a classic! The jar in the photo above [...]

As I blogged about in yesterdays Grilled Portabella Mushrooms post, my husband and I just returned from a vacation in Napa where we had an amazing time.  After dropping the boys off at my parents house, then catching up on sleep for the first 3 days of our trip, we stepped out to some of [...]

We're back in town after an amazing vacation and I just can't get enough grilled veggies. These grilled portabella mushrooms are my husband's favorite. I've been grilling everything though --zucchini, broccoli and lots of chicken. I'll be posting a recipe for grilled broccoli before summer's end. My grill is getting a really good workout these days! Grilled Portabella [...]

This recipe for Grilled Zucchini is one of my favorites for several reasons.  First, it's a good way to use up the prolific zucchini of August.  Second, it's mighty easy to make.  And third, it's delicious.  Let's not forget reason number four though --zucchini and summer squash are a healthy side dish for any meal. [...]

This Rosemary Lemon Chicken has become my go to dinner dish this summer.  In fact, I've been making it a couple of times a week and loving it, as has my family --children included.  It's super easy to make, very healthy and fabulously fresh and delicious with hints of garlic, lemon and rosemary complementing the [...]

These healthy Chardonnay Crackers have a deep, rich and buttery flavor.  They're great for everyday snacking or as an hors d'œuvre.  I like that they're high in protein and have good fats (due to the almond flour) and full of antioxidants (in the Grape Seed Flour).  They're a wonderful recovery snack as well after a [...]

I'm slightly obsessed with coleslaw these days, especially any coleslaw made with purple cabbage which I find to be delectably sweet and crunchy.  I'm always craving a good crunch in my food. I like to serve this spicy slaw with my Turkey Burgers from The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook or my Grilled Chipotle Orange Chicken. [...]

Given how hot it's been around here lately, the boys have been jonesing for ice cream, and I'm more than happy to indulge them with my homemade, frozen treats.  They've been asking for a chocolate cherry ice cream, which may be coming here soon.  For now, enjoy this gluten free, dairy free Cherry Strawberry Ice [...]

I confess, I have an addiction to broccoli rabe.  I love the bitter flavor of this delicious green vegetable.  I have always believed that bitter is such an important, yet under rated flavor in our culture. I think a lot of people drink coffee for the bitter flavor that we all need so badly.  My [...]

So all you agave haters gather round.  These gluten free chocolate chip cookies are completely free of agave, I have used yacon instead. What is yacon?  It is a perennial root, composed primarily of water and Fructooligosaccharide (FOS). These short chain sugars have a lower caloric value (as they are digested anaerobically) and high fiber [...]
