Momma’s Turkey

Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  Two weeks away. Seriously!?! Where has this year gone? In deciding which recipes I needed to share before the big day arrives, I spent some time flipping through the pages of my blog and realized that I have spent a lot of time sharing my favorite sides like Paleo […]

Strawberry Topped Boston Cream Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Paleo)

It might surprise you to learn that my husband and I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day. Nope. Never. Not once. You see, my husband has this thing against a commercially exploited day supposedly designed to tell the person you love that you love them. He believes that love is something to be expressed on a daily […]

Where I’ve Been and a Christmas Giveaway for you!

I’ve been a bad blogger lately. Life has gotten in the way. I have been exhausted and needing to spend my attention elsewhere and so, my blog has had to take an unannounced break. Even with this my followers continue to grow. For that, I owe each and every one of you a tremendous amount […]

Potatoes au Gratin (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan Option Noted)

I do not eat potatoes often; my body just isn’t ready to process that many carbs. That being said, Thanksgiving only comes once a year and these cheesy, delicious slices are worth a once-a-year indulgence. One of my favorite Thanksgiving sides, I am pleased to share these with you today. May your holiday be filled […]

Paleo Green Bean Casserole

Growing up, my stepmother always told me she was a horrible cook. The thing is, I loved her food.  Simple meals made at home are still homemade meals. Living in the small town that we lived in, there weren’t many opportunities to run and grab take-out or fast food and so that meant that we […]

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 […]

Share the Love with Vegan Carrot Cake Coconut Macaroons

I have some of the greatest friends in the universe. Really. So when my beautiful friend Shea from Dixie Chik Cooks asked if I wanted to participate in the Kitchenaid’s Pass the Plate event through BeBetsy, I did not hesitate to say ‘yes!’ even before I knew exactly what it was. What I have learned […]

Vanilla Pumpkin Swirl Cake with Vanilla Palm Sugar Glaze (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free, Paleo)

This is not my prettiest cake by any means, and I thought about remaking it in a number of different pans, but my daughter was so thrilled when she saw the final product that I decided if it was good enough for her, then it was good enough for me. So many of my projects […]

Ingredient-Challenge Monday: Pumpkin Spice Steamer (Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)

This Pumpkin Spice Steamer is a delicious solution to those sugar-laden […]

Coconut Flour Apple Crumble (nut-free)

When Phoebe invited me to her Virtual Viewing Party and All-American Potluck, the first thing that popped into my mind was apple pie. I mean, besides hot dogs, what is more American than apple pie? Only, I am not a huge fan of apple pie. Don’t ask me why, I am not 100% certain; I […]
