I used to stare longingly at fried chicken in the store/restaurant but no more! 🍗 I made buttermilk fried chicken yesterday — but it's my #glutenfree #dairyfree version! I fried them in coconut oil (in my stockpot — you don't need a deep fryer) and finished them off in the oven. The batter was a mixture of vegan buttermilk (apple cider vinegar and almond milk) and eggs. Then I dredged each piece in a blend of sorghum flour, cornstarch and baking powder, complete with my own blend of eleven herbs and spices. This is better than Church's chicken and Popeyes's combined. KFC's got nothing on me! Recipe will be on the blog: lifeafteroxtail.com.

I love Saturdays! I live for Saturdays! Not only because it's the #Sabbath, but because they are more laid back (a little like me and my personality 😉). The slower pace of Saturday mornings allows me to indulge and make breakfasts that are a little more decadent. 🙂 Take this dish for instance. I really wanted to have chicken and waffles for breakfast. So I took some fried chicken that I made earlier in the week (recipe to be posted on my blog www.lifeafteroxtail.com) and paired it with #glutenfree waffles using @daphneoz 's recipe from her book The Happy Cook. Then I drizzled — not maple syrup but ginger syrup (🙌🙌🙌) all over these bad boys. @the_ginger_people make the best ginger products. There you have it: gluten-free #dairyfree #friedchicken with #glutenfree #dairyfree #waffles . All I need now is to prepare some collard greens and I'll have a complete southern breakfast to help me get through this northern weather. Happy Saturday! #glutenfreewaffles #glutenfreefriedchicken #gingersyrup #tgis #thankgoditssaturday

@pizzapizzaltd has a chili chicken Thai pizza that I loved but had to discontinue eating when I became allergic to dairy. Not willing to live my life without good pizza, I tried to replicate the recipe. 🍕 So here's my take on my favourite pizza — #dairyfree, #glutenfree and if I were to remove the chicken, #vegan.

I used the apple bread I bought at #marchejeantalon to make French Toast this morning. This is how I like my Saturdays: slow and sweet. #brunch #breakfast #sabbath
