Remember ranch dressing? Back when you could eat dairy? It made veggies worth eating. And salad.

You can have it again.

We were going to have roasted pork tenderloin. Really, we were.

Problem is, it was still partially frozen at 6 pm. You can’t really roast frozen meat – just doesn’t come out right.

So…. I sliced it up and found a few things lying around that sounded good.

Whatever change you’re bringing into or maintaining in your kitchen, whether it’s eliminating gluten, dairy, sugars or carbs in general, the stumbling block often seems to be “what’s for dessert?”

Simply not having dessert is always an option. But, as I’m fond of saying, deprivation is not a great way to approach health. Nutritionally we don’t need sweets, but that doesn’t mean they don’t satisfy an important need in our lives. To go from eating dessert every day to never having dessert is likely to leave some part of you in distress.

Be kind to that part of you. It’s that part of you, me and my family that I’m loving when I create everything-free desserts. (Okay, almost everything-free. Some cross sensitivities are hard to cover in every dish.)

This recipe is GAPS and SCD friendly, low carb, gluten and dairy-free, chemical-free, and free of all sugars. It has nuts in it, but could be made without the nuts, too, if they make you react. You’d just miss the crunch.

Enjoy!
