And, as a grain free family that likes to create nostalgic foods with different ingredients, we wanted to share an alternative bread recipe that doesn’t sacrifice health or flavor. If bread is missing from your holiday potluck or family gathering, try this recipe and enjoy a slice of the holiday-life!

You know what they say, “The best things in life come with cheese!” ... Right? Well, we like to think so! A few of life's best cheesy things: macaroni, cheeseburgers, pizza, grilled cheese sandwiches, and our favorite—quesadillas. Make it a Breakfast Quesadilla with Dairy Free Nacho Cashew Queso, eggs, and your favorite protein, you’ve got yourself a delightfully cheesy dish to kick off your day!
When the weather gets cooler, our family loves to have an assortment of warm tamales at the table—from beef and chicken filled to mole and beans—especially around the holidays! There’s nothing quite like unwrapping a tamal, watching the steam rise out, and cutting into that first bite. We’ve made these with Green and Red Enchilada Sauce, chicken, and lots of love!
If you ask our dad about his favorite foods, the list is short but always includes: quesadillas, steak, and milanesa (always milanesa!) This recipe was inspired by his (and our own) love for milanesa—a nostalgic food our family often enjoyed together. We knew dinner would be extra delicious on the days our mom chose to make milanesa. Here, we’ve taken this tasty dish and wrapped it up in a Grain Free Burrito Sized Tortilla: Grain Free Milanesa Wraps!
