One Minute Microwave Lava Cake (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)

I love my friends. I love that anyone who knows me in this little town of ours automatically thinks of me when they see something labeled “gluten-free.” Because of this, I get periodic recipes e-mailed or texted to me on a regular basis and frankly, many of these turn into inspiration for future recipes or […]

Cream of Mushroom Soup (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo, Vegan Option)

With the holidays upon us, there are some staples that one cannot live without this time of the year. Unfortunately, allergies, food sensitivities and auto-immune syndromes can often lead to feeling like we have to miss out on many of our favorite foods. Not so, I say! With the exception of baklava, there are few […]

Rainbow Salad

One day, my husband looked at me lovingly and said those five little words many of us never expect to hear: “Honey, I miss your salad.” Yes, my salad. I guess it had been a few weeks since I had made one of my nutrient-packed salads and my husband had a craving. Now if only […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Slowcooker Paleo Eggplant Parmesan

You’ve heard me (as well as other bloggers) talk about planned-overs and how they make for great lunches. Well, sometimes lunch needs to be a prequel. Sometimes a meal is just too good to wait until dinner… When cooked overnight in a crock and you have a thermos ready to help keep it warm… Well, let’s […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012: Peachy Coconut Streusel Muffins

When most people think of muffins, they think high-carb, grain-filled, low-nutritional value item. The last thing I want to feed my children is anything that meets that type of description. The great thing about grain-free cooking is that a majority of flours (nut, seed and coconut) are naturally high in fabulous fiber, protein and nutrients.  […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2012

Welcome to Healthy Lunchbox 2012! One year ago, I had an idea… Every year the struggle to fill my children’s lunchboxes with healthy foods they will enjoy seems to become a little more complicated. To keep things interesting, I asked some of my favorite bloggers for some help. Thus, the Healthy Lunchbox Series was born. […]

Roasted Garlic, Basil and Tomato Paleo Tart

This week on FoodNetwork Summer Fest, food and garden bloggers are joining up to share their favorite tomato recipes. I don’t know about the other Summer Fest bloggers, but for me this was no easy task.  You see, tomatoes are a staple in our home. Quartered tomatoes are the perfect side with our morning breakfast.
