Zughetti with Mushroom Fennel Pasta Sauce (SCD/GAPS/Paleo)
-2 1/4 cups homemade marinara sauce or THIS is my favorite store brand (it’s in a glass jar, organic, and salt free)
Homemade Organic Roasted Almond Butter w/ Raw Option (never buy the expensive store brands again)
Almond butter came into my life about 10 years ago when I was doing my first candida cleanse. And I kid you not, at the time it was pure indulgence. Not much was allowed on the cleanse, but small doses of almond butter was okay, so I pretty much fell in love. After the cleanse and through the years I ate almond butter regularly. I’m deathly allergic to peanuts, so how fun to make my own version of PB&J with almond butter. As much as I love almond butter, about a year ago I discovered that it irritates my digestion to no end. My unsuccessful run on the SCD was due to my high intake of almonds. So although I don’t eat almonds or almond butter much anymore, it’s beloved by my husband and children. So I make it for them. Making at home is also motivated by the insanely high price of store bought organic almond butters (common to see $15 for a jar…I’ve seen it as high as $24!!). If you love roasted almond butter and want to save a little money, then this recipe is for you. I also make a raw version with soaked and dehydrated almonds and included directions for this at the end of the post.

Raw Lemon Pie Macaroons: Coco-Roon Knock Offs (dairy free, grain free, Paleo, SCD, GAPS)
-2 cups shredded coconut (any brand will do, I purchase mine in the bulk section)
-1 cup almond flour (I used Bob’s)
-2 teaspoons lemon zest
-2 tablespoons honey (vegans, use maple syrup or coconut nectar)
-2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
-2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
-1/4 teaspoon lemon oil (optional, or use an extra tablespoon of lemon juice)
-1/2 teaspoon salt
How To:
1. In a food processor add the 2 cups of shredded coconut. Blend for 30 seconds. Then add in the almond flour. Blend together for 10 seconds.
2. With the food processor running, add in the lemon zest, honey, coconut oil, lemon juice, salt and lemon oil (optional). Blend together for 15 seconds.
3. The mixture will feel wet and oily. That’s okay.
4. Scoop out the mixture with a 1-ounce ice cream scoop and place directly on the dehydrator tray (no screens). This is the dehydrator I use.
5. Dehydrate for at least 6 hours on 110 degrees. These dry nicely on the outside (leaving no oily residue) and stay moist on the inside. Makes about 12 macaroons.

Love the lemon garlic cashew cream sauce paired with zughetti and roasted veggies…so savory and fantastic dinner recipe!
Have you tried BeyondMeat chicken-free strips? They are amazing. I <3 the sound of the lemon garlicky cashew cream.
This looks and sounds amazing. I love the use of all the veggies here. It’s like a big bowl of healthy. The added chicken is lovely and even better that it all bakes together on one baking sheet!
Love the sound of this sauce Amber!
I have been really lazy with recipes lately and I think that’s probably why I’ve been in a food funk. When I experiment and create new dinner dishes, I enjoy food so much more!
Thanks for the inspiration
