If you haven't learned by now, I just love this time of year. The spirit, the food, the flavors, and the continuos merriment. What's not to love? Everything is spiced perfectly with cinnamon, nutmeg, and all of the flavors of the season. There are unlimited excuses to get together with family and friends to celebrate [...]

cranberry lemon swirl pancakes

Pancakes... oh how I love pancakes. There was a time, after realizing how severe my intolerance wasĀ to certain foods, when I thought I would never get to enjoy pancakes again. I tried all kinds of "paleo" pancakes and would always end up feeling bloated, heavy, and uncomfortable from loads of almond flour and a tummy [...]

So, I got a new pressure cooker. It's beautiful. In fact, I sit and sing to it in the evenings.... not really, but I seriously love this thing. Big thanks to Danielle Walker of Against All Grain for posting a great deal for Cyber Monday last week. You can find the cooker HERE. It rocks. [...]

creamy carrot and fennel soup, plus the power of “why?”

By | 2015-04-14T14:33:02-08:00 December 5th, 2014|Autoimmune Paleo, Recipes, Soups, Salads, Sides|

How often do you ask "why?" "Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers." - Voltaire As a kid I was constantly asking why (probably to the point where it was annoying). I was never content with "because I said so" or "because that's what everyone else is doing." I'm happy to say [...]

cranberry sauce scones

By | 2015-03-31T13:40:11-08:00 November 30th, 2014|Breakfast, Recipes|

I think it is a tragedy that every holiday season, globs of delicious cranberry sauce are thrown wastefully into the garbage. Cranberry sauce is one of those feast accompaniments that noĀ one really knows what to do with once the meal is over and the leftovers are consumed. But that is all about to change. Put [...]

Earlier this month, I posted what I believed (and still believe) to be our favorite pumpkin pie. Today, I bring to you a new unique twist on that traditional favorite. I love pumpkin pie.

paleo apple butter

By | 2022-09-06T19:21:15-08:00 November 22nd, 2014|A Little Sweet Tooth, Recipes|

This stuff is good. But don't take my word for it, just make it and see. Who doesn't love anything with butter in the name? While there isn't actually butter in this apple butter, it does provide the most delectable, buttery texture for spreading on all your favorite foods. May I suggest spreading it onĀ pancakes, [...]

We are less than a week away from Thanksgiving! This holiday is my favorite. Yes, it's amazing because of the delicious food, football, and family. But it's more than that; I also love ThanksgivingĀ because every November, we get to start the holiday season off with a day dedicated to celebrating and acknowledgingĀ all of life's wonders [...]

festive arugula salad

It seems like all summer long, I crave salads; it turns into a salad a day kind of season. Farmer's market is loaded with all kinds of veggies that are fresh, delicious, and just asking to be tossed in a bog bowl, dressed up nicely, and enjoyed in the sun. But what happens when the [...]

grain free salt butter biscuits

Fact: my husband loves biscuits. Corn biscuits. Biscuits and gravy. Buttermilk biscuits. Cheddar biscuits. Breakfast biscuit sandwiches. You name the biscuit, he loves it. With temperatures dropping, and soups, stews, and lots of chiliĀ on the menu at least 4 days a week, he's been asking me for biscuits pretty much daily. I love him, so [...]
