Recipe time. Zucchini is one of the most versatile veggies available. It’s a staple at our home! You can make noodles (zoodles) out of it, you can roast it, sauté it, barbecue it (’cause that’s totally a verb), and you can even make porridge out of it, using the same technique as this post.

We became very acquainted with butternut squash porridge during our recent stint on the GAPS Diet. I was happy about that; I didn’t really use butternut squash very much before the diet, but now we love to have it many different ways.

Here’s a quick recipe for you. This is a slice of birthday cake I made a while back, for my son who at the time couldn’t eat any dairy, eggs, or nuts. Since we’re on the GAPS diet for gut healing, it’s also grain-free and refined sugar-free. I based it off of the recipe in … Read more
