Thanks for stopping by for another week of healthy recipes – gluten-free, refined sugar-free, dairy-free, vegan, egg-free. We always have a little bit of everything, which makes every week a buffet of inspiration.
Nourished – A Food Blogger Conference
Our site is live! Hop on over and read what Nourished is about, check out out list of presenters, and sign up for our email or RSS updates. We’ll be updating the site as we have new information about presenters.

A Gluten-Free Holiday
Our second annual Gluten-Free Holiday event starts next Thursday. You don’t want to miss out on this event! We’ll be sharing our favorite holiday recipes and we’ll have a linky so you can share yours, too. Each week we’ll also have a different gluten-free cookbook giveaway.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights
My Picks
I’ve been wanting to make Flax Bread for so long…this looks like a great recipe:
- Foccacia Flax Bread from Whole. New. Mom.
I have a CrockPot Apple Butter recipe in my cookbook. I use different sweeteners but this still looks incredible:
- Slow Cooker Apple Butter from At Home with Gina C.
And, of course I had to include a couple pumpkin recipe:
- Creamy Pumpkin Breakfast Cereal from Domestic Diva
- Pumpkin Pie Bites from Stealthily Healthy
Reader Favorites
- Pumpkin Scones from The Willing Cook
- Chocolate Peanut Butter Lollipop Bars from Daily Bites
Linking Up Guidelines: PLEASE READ!
- Please link back to this post NOT A STATIC “BLOG PARTY PAGE” so that your readers can find the recipes here.
- Link to your individual post, NOT your home page.
- Recipes DO NOT have to be sugar-free or gluten-free – just healthier in some way. The idea is to share our ideas and inspire each other in the kitchen.
- Please don’t link give-aways and book reviews without recipes or contests – the intent of this event is to compile recipes that give people options.
- (Optional) When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter: Mexican Chicken Tortilla Casserole (SF, GF) (Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free)
Note: If you’re getting this in an email or an RSS reader, you can’t see all the tasty pics of dishes that have been shared at SIT. Hop on over to SimplySugarAndGlutenFree.com and find something you’re entire family will love!

Hi Amy! Hope you are feeling well this week! You have lots of exciting news! Nourished, A GF Holiday, and baby Green! I’m linking up a simple recipe that I whipped up last week on vacation, easy vegetarian tostadas and guacamole. A little unseasonal, but vacation begs for Mexican flavors.

I love love your website! I go to it often when I’m trying to reduce sugar (and gluten) in my diet. I’m intrigued by the pumpkin scone link you included in this post. I went to the link but it includes brown sugar. About 1/3 cup sugar. I don’t make scones often but I love them, especially raspberry and white chocolate scones. I miss it so much! Anyways… since I don’t make scones often, I’m leery of using sugar replacements like honey because I’m worried I’ll mess up the consistency and texture of the scone. What do you think? I’m looking at the recipe and 1/3 cup isn’t really that much and I’m not 100% sugar free but I’d like to explore options to reduce it as much as possible but pumpkin scones with apple butter! MMM…yum! ( I have a bowl of honey crisp apples that I really need to use up and apple butter sounds like a great solution with one apple reserved for my butternut squash soup which I have about 2 cups of leftover roasted butternut squash cubes. ;o) )

@Angela R., Try Coconut Palm Sugar instead – here’s a post I wrote about it:

You can get it from iHerb.com – use coupon code SIR086 and get $5 off your first order.

@Angela R., I think apple butter sounds very good on the pumpkin scones, although it will change the flavor and I’m not sure how it will change the consistency. I like Amy’s idea of coconut palm sugar. I haven’t used it, but I’m intrigued. Let me know if you make the scones without the sugar, as I would love another version to share.

Hi, Amy! I am super excited about the conference!
I linked up the stuffed pork roast. I love the links you put up (and checking out everyone’s yumminess). The pumpkin cereal looks like something my kiddos would love. Yum!

Thanks for hosting! I shared a Chocolate Sunflower Fudge recipe that is so yummy! It’s the perfect combo of sweet and salty. Dairy-free option included. Thanks again

I’m certainly looking forward to the holiday ideas to come!
Today I’ve linked a Gluten-Free Chili with Tomatoes that is reminiscent of my hometown, San Antonio. It’s a quick and easy fall supper, too.

What a great idea! I’ve just stumbled across your site and would love to participate in these weekly! I’m somewhat new to the blogging world, and all of my recipes are gluten, grain, and refined sugar free. A lot of them are dairy free and egg free as well!

Amy, Thank you so much for featuring my Pumpkin Scone recipe. They seem to be a big hit…at least they were in my home.
I’m not linking up this week. (Our home got struck by lightning and fried internet, and more, making my access limited.) I hope to return again next week.
I just wanted to pop in and let you know that I appreciate the feature.
Michelle

Thank you for this site and all the time you spend on it. I have been GF for almost a year now, and your site was one of the few that gave me hope I could still be a foodie and GF. THANK YOU for that.
