Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free, Paleo Friendly)

Alright, I know we are on Thanksgiving Eve and your menu is probably set…but, if you’re anything like me, especially if you are prepared to do any sort of grain-free dairy-free type baking today; you probably have everything you need to make this pie on hand! Last week, I asked my Facebook followers what pie […]

Instant Pot Carnitas (Whole 30, Keto)

  As a recipe writer/food blogger, I spend a lot of time working with and testing other people’s recipes…sometimes per their request, sometimes because I know they are just that fabulous and I really want to try their food. When I was gifted Melissa Joulwan’s original Well Fed, there were several recipes that I had […]

Meringue Cookies (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo Friendly)

  Yesterday was my oldest child’s birthday, and as usual, he asked for his favorite cake: German Chocolate.  Since I long perfected an “our safe” recipe for this, it was a no brainer how to go about making it happen… But then as I sat and looked at the 6 egg whites that remained after […]

Alfredo Sauce (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo)

  It may come as a surprise to some of you, but even though all of my recipes shared on this page are 100% gluten and dairy free, except for my children who are sensitive or allergic to dairy, we actually have a few dairy eaters in this house. And every now and then I […]

Cauliflower Stuffing (Paleo, Whole 30, Vegan and Keto Friendly)

Thanksgiving.  And whether it’s the Turkey, the green bean casserole, or even your favorite pie; chances are, we’ve got a great recipe for you. And while most of my feast contains some year over year favorites,there are a few things I like […]

Instant Pot Creamy Tomato Basil Soup (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Paleo, Whole30, Vegan and Slow Cooker Options Noted)

This time of the year we eat a lot of soup.  Between colder temperatures, hungry teenagers and athletes in our home; soup provides a great way to get a lot of nutrition in one little package, while filling bellies and warming the body.  The unfortunate reality is that in order to really get the flavors […]

Vegan 3-Bean Instant Pot Chili

  This recipe is long over due… I have had this recipe in my pocket for some time now, and frankly, it has become a weekly favorite in our home.  Which is interesting, because if you look at the history of my shares, you’ll note that our family is primarily Paleo and beans are not […]

Creamy Tuscan Chicken (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Paleo, Keto)

  I have often said that just because one is dairy free does not mean that one does not crave creamy, luscious dishes in their life.  This Creamy Tuscan Chicken recipe is rich in healthy fats, high in protein, and when served as-is, perfectly perfect for a Keto or Paleo lifestyle (Whole30 friendly, even!!).  Served […]

Allergy Friendly Taco Seasoning

  First, let me say…yes, I am still here! As mentioned late last year, my family was blessed with the opportunity in August, 2016, to help care for and provide for my cousin’s (then) 2 month old baby. I am pleased to share that he is still with us, but as you can surely understand…adding […]

Pho Reals

  It’s that time of the year…the changing seasons give our immune systems a run for their money. As always, there are two major defenses I offer up, oils and bone broth.  Daily supplements, probiotics and healthy eating matter, of course…but when you’re in the midst of a battle there is no more magical combination […]
