Raw-licious Lemon Cookies (SCD Friendly)
-14 dates, pitted and soaked in filtered water until soft (the soaking time will depend on how soft or hard your dates are to begin with. I usually soak mine for 6 hours or until super soft)
-4.5 ounces unsweetened shredded coconut (1 cup)
-1 cup sesame seeds (soaked for 10 hours)
-1/2 teaspoon lemon flavor (or to taste, start with 1/4 tsp)
-1 teaspoon lemon zest
How To
1. In food processor fitted with the s-blade, add dates and blend into a paste. Add in lemon flavor, blend.
2. In another bowl, add coconut, well drained sesame seeds, and lemon zest. Mix well.
3. Add date mixture to coconut, sesame seeds, and lemon zest and with clean hands, mix well.
4. Form into little cookies or balls.
5. Place in your dehydrator (on a mesh fitting) and dehydrate at 105 degrees for 24 hours (or more). Crank it up to 135 degrees for the last hour. I know this sounds like a long time, but this low temperature really preserves all the beneficial nutrients. I have no idea how these would work in the oven, but please let me know if you try.
Notes:
*I put my dehydrator in the laundry room and just forget about it.
*If making the balls, dehydrate 105 degrees for 12-15 hours. They will be soft and chewy.

Bottomless Key Lime Pie with Whipped Lemon Coconut Cream (SCD Friendly)
Bottomless you say…well you naughty little pie. Where is your crust? Truth be told, I’m still working on my own SCD pie crust and didn’t want to wait any longer to share this recipe with you. I do love crust, but this pie still rocks bottomless. If you’re a crust lover like me, then check out the crust recipe links below.
After my friend Laura, from Gluten Free Pantry, made her no-bake vegan key lime pie, I started dreaming about it and wanted to make a SCD version. I’m trying to “beef up” my SCD dessert list here. The only thickener allowed on SCD (aside from eggs) is gelatin. Luckily, it works just perfect for this recipe. I did try this recipe with eggs, but it was too eggy for my taste and didn’t set up quite right. If you like tart, well this dessert if for you. I LOVE tart, it’s my favorite (far more than the sweet, sweet chocolaty stuff my husband devours). The coconut cream is so sweet with a hint of lemon, and the light texture balances the thick tart lime filling. I’m in love with this. Thank you Laura for the inspiration!
- Lime Filling:
- 1 can SCD legal coconut milk
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¾ cup fresh squeezed lime juice (10-15 limes depending on thier size)
- 1 avocado
- 2½ teaspoons unflavored gelatin
Lemon Coconut Cream:- Cream from 1 can of coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon lemon flavor
- Filling:
- To food processor add:
- Lime juice, honey and avocado. Blend until well incorporated.
- Empty mixture in glass bowl.
- Add gelatin and whisk until incorporated
- Heat coconut milk on stove top (do not boil) and add to
- lime juice mixture. Whisk until well incorporated,
- Pour into pie dish (with or without a crust) and place in refrigerator for at least 8 hours.
- After the mixture has set, top with whipped lemon coconut cream
Coconut Whipped Topping:- To a glass bowl add the honey, vanilla and lemon flavor. Mix.
- Scoop out the coconut cream and add to the bowl.
- Mix on high with hand-held mixer until well incorporated.
- Quickly top pie and place back in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
*Add the whipped coconut cream when the lime filling is completely firm (in fridge for at least 8 hours).

Radicchio with Fennel and Apple Topped with Fresh Orange Juice
This recipe fit the bill on a cold and rainy Tuesday. The warm fennel and apples were savory and cozy, wilting the radicchio just enough, with buttery toasted walnuts, a burst of tart from the cranberries and a splash of fresh orange juice. Love. I ate two HUGE bowls for lunch and more with dinner (added in some SCD legal chicken apple sausage).
Ingredients
-I head of radicchio, cored, sliced and washed
-2 navel oranges
-3 fennel bulbs, sliced
-2 large red apples, peeled and sliced (I used Fuji)
-1 cup walnuts
-1 cup dried cranberries (sugar free and sulfur free)
-1/4 teaspoon salt
-Oil of choice
Serves 4
How To
1. In a large sauté skillet, add a drizzle of oil, salt, and fennel and sauté on med heat for about 5 minutes, or until slightly tender. Add apples and walnuts and continue to sauté on med/low until apples are just tender. Remove from heat.
2. Build your salad.
3. To a plate, add a few handfuls of radicchio. Top with warm fennel and apple sauté, cranberries, and serve with 1/2 an orange. Use the orange as the “dressing.”

Strawberry Almond Ice Cream (SCD Friendly)
I hope you love it too.
Ingredients
-2 cans coconut milk (this brand is SCD friendly)
-1 lb. fresh organic strawberries
-1/3 cup of honey*
-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-1/2 teaspoon almond extract (or to taste)
How To
1. Blend all ingredients together until incorporated.
2. Immediately transfer to ice cream maker and allow to churn until thick.
3. Remove ice cream and transfer to glass storage. Store in freezer and remove 20 minutes before serving.
4. Optional: top with fresh strawberries, chopped almonds and shredded coconut.
Notes:
*Vegan option: use 1/3 cup agave, maple syrup, or stevia to taste.
*This ice cream would be amazing with Vicky’s SCD friendly spounge cake!
*I often get an extra 1/2 pound of strawberries and blend them with the mixture just until they are chunky, then churn. I love the little fresh strawberry chunks in the ice cream
*You could add 1 cup finely chopped nuts or finely chopped fresh strawberries to the final few minutes in the ice cream maker.
*This recipe makes too much for my ice cream maker, so I threw some ice in with what remained in my blender and made a smoothie.
Pineapple Coconut Cupcakes
Ingredients
-1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (40 grams)
-6 drops liquid stevia
3. Add in the oil, applesauce, vanilla, stevia, and pineapple chunks, incorporate, then add in the water, incorporate.
4. Add the dry ingredients to wet and incorporate.
5. Immediately add batterer to baking cups – yields 12.
6. Bake for 20 minutes
7. When done, cool on rack
Notes:
*I highly recommend using these baking cups – they are great for nonstick! I And I use them over and over. They are also biodegradable.
*These cupcakes don’t rise much, so you can fill to the top of baking cup.
*I greatly dislike a dry cupcake. And so I’m happy to report that these are incredibly moist.
*Do not let the batter sit after mixing, as it starts to thicken and froth. So after you mix the dry with the wet, immediately fill your baking cups and bake.
*The little boy mentioned above can have coconut (no tree nuts). I read that in 2007, the FDA classified coconut as a tree nut. But I do believe coconuts are actually seeds, but can also be described as a fruit and nut. This is a good read on the matter.
Ingredients
-1 can full fat coconut milk (I use this brand for its superior coconut cream)
-1/2 teaspoon vanilla
-2 tablespoons Grade B maple syrup
-4 drops stevia (or to taste)
-Natural yellow food coloring
-1/4 teaspoon thickener of choice (optional)
To make the whipped topping place 1 can of full fat coconut milk in the coldest part of your fridge for at least 3 days (the longer the better). I have a bunch in there so I just take one out as needed. Work quickly and remove just the coconut cream from the top of the can. Add to bowl with above ingredients. Mix with hand mixer until incorporated. Frost your cupcake, or place topping in the fridge until you’re ready to use. You could certainly omit the thickener if your coconut cream is working for you. Every can of coconut milk is different. I’ve made some very substantial toppings without thickener, and some really needed it.

Hi There Amber,
Nice to meet you!Yes, we don’t do any dairy in our house either. We’ve been making these pancakes for about 4 years. Love them! Easy to make and no allergens to worry about! Gotta love that!
Love the binoculars for strawberry picking. Adorable! I’m excited about strawberries coming into season soon in Chicago too!
Jenilyn,
Ethan jumped out of his bedroom all ready to go with his yellow binoculars. We had a good laugh! Hope you get to enjoy some strawberries soon!
Great pictures! I wish we had a strawberry farm down the road.
Thanks Rebecca! It is such a fun treat to live close to farms. I really try to take advantage and visit the ones open to the public. And my kids LOVE it. Strawberries are super easy to grow if you can get your hands on some plants.
What a lovely post Amber and the pictures are gorgeous! Fabulous recipes and I just LOVE the Strawberry Cantaloupe Popsicles!
Awe, thanks Vicky! It’s funny…I don’t love cantaloupe on its own, but I LOVE how it works with the strawberry. It provides just a touch of sweet and balances the tart. Really great combo! I’m addicted at the moment!!
I ♥ strawberries! They are my favorite, I’m so glad it’s strawberry season!
The fruitsickles look really good! We love those things in the summer. I’ve been looking for some different fruit combinations. Thanks
What an absolutely wonderful thing to do with your children-my kids would adore this activity! Your pancake and popsicle recipes are superb…I could go for both right now! I need to come out your way one of these days and go to that farm with all of our kids
Your little girl without her 2 front teeth is so adorable … I grew out without my 2 front teeth (fell down the stairs when I was really young) and the didn’t grow in for about 10 years, so all pictures of me growing up are without my front teeth But they finally did grow in! I hope she gets hers! And I love the Popsicle recipe … definitely trying that!
This is going to come in really handy since I finally found local non-sprayed strawberries. I have missed strawberries since converting to real food. Thanks for the recipes.
I am so jealous! Ours are not quite ready yet. If the weather stays hot we should have fresh market strawberries in the next 2 to 3 weeks. Can’t wait.
Thanks for sharing this with the real food community at Whole Food Wednesdays.
I love the strawberry picking pictures! I loved strawberry picking as a little girl. The pancakes and popsicles look great too.
Aw, your post brought back so many wonderful childhood memories!
