Welcome to The Unrefined Kitchen! I hope this website and blog can be a helpful resource. At this point in time, my focus will be on posting recipes that are Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, Paleo-Friendly and Dairy-Free (or have dairy-free options).
The ingredients I use may be somewhat foreign to some of you if you haven’t had to live with dietary restrictions…relax–I was there once as well! I LOVE to bake and I love sugar. Switching to cooking and baking without grains or refined sugars can be challenging and frustrating–but don’t give up! I hope this can be a helpful tool to those of you who are looking for healthier recipes. All of the ingredients should be available at health food stores, but actually most of the ingredients are available in regular grocery stores.
As I mentioned above, I love to bake. Keep that in mind as I post recipes…I really don’t eat cookies and brownies as my main course…at least most of the time. I just love experimenting with new and healthier ways to make things that I grew up with and love to eat.
Enjoy!

Hi Jennifer,
My sister Marianne has COPD complicated by chronic lung infections and it’s hard for her to keep weight on. She is allergic to wheat and dairy and avoids sugar b/c it is not good for the immune system. She can only eat chicken and fish in the meat area. So it’s been hard finding appetizing food to buy and make for her. I found your site yesterday thru “The Nourishing Gourmet” and was soooo excited to read your recipes and think about how much she will enjoy the treats. thank you for publishing your work; you are certainly a blessing to us! glad to hear of your dietary success with your hormone problem. enjoy life and keep creating and baking.
