The Gut and Psychology Syndrome or GAPS diet is a grain and refined sugar free diet, full of nutrient dense foods like meat, eggs, fats, vegetables, bone broths, and organ meats. Compared to the standard American diet (SAD), this can be quite a shock for the home cook! But there are many GAPS recipes that are tasty and easy to make. For monthly meal plans full of recipes for the GAPS diet, check out my Grain Free Meal Plans. For recipes for the GAPS Intro Diet, see What Can I Eat Now, 30 Days on the GAPS Diet.
Recipes posted to my blog are provided below as well. I just realized that I’ve had my daughter on GAPS for nearly 2 years now- we’ve done a LOT of GAPS cooking in the past couple years, hope you find it helpful. Find the GAPS book and supplements for the GAPS Diet on my Resources Page.

Cara, I thought I saw a posting about soaking both almonds and cashews, but tonite when I was looking for info about that, I couldn’t find it. Am I crazy? If you do have a posting about it would you send me the link?
Thanks for your help.

I soak them all the same way- about 2-3 lbs, cover with water, add 1 tablespoon of sea salt and allow to soak. Use less salt if using less nuts. Soak overnight, drain, dry until dry :) Easy easy and yummy!
I was wondering if you have a list of all the tools that you use for the GAPS diet, and what brands you use/reccommend? Since I recently got married, I have many gift certificates to Bed, Bath, and Beyond, so would I be able to find the appliances there? I noticed that the brand reccommendation for a juicer is one your site, but I’m not sure if I can purchase that where I live?
I did a post kind of like this- but I should update it to be specifically for GAPS http://www.healthhomehappy.com/2010/03/whats-in-my-kitchen-kitchen-tools.html
Awesome work you gave done on your site! Thank you for giving this much info it helps so many. I will promote it to several people.
How do you suggest dealing with almond flour? I know it should be soaked or fermented, but I’m having difficulty finding any instructions on how to do this with already ground nut-flour.
Thank you!!
Cara,
Have you had a chance to look at the emails that I have sent you? I still have not received anything back via email.
I merely desired to assert I truly recognize your personal way with words-at all.
It is great to read a particular person whom incorporates a grip of sentence structure and furthermore spelling on-line.
I will tell other people about GAPS and Grain Free Recipes and Information | Health,
Home, & Happiness ™. Cheers!
