If you follow me on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, undoubtedly you have seen some of the photos of the lovely meals my family and I have been enjoying recently. Funny thing? In addition to our usual grain-free and dairy-free fare; every meal I have made and every meal I have photographed over the last five […]
Dairy-Free, Paleo Friendly Cheddar Cheese (Vegan Option Noted)
January 1, 2013 By 57 Comments
January 1, a new year, a new you. While many people use this day to mark their new, fresh eating habits; while many of my friends have begun their sugar-detox, juicing or Whole30 plan, my next Whole30 won’t begin until this Friday. “Why?” you ask? Well, first off, Thursday is my husband’s birthday. And while […]
One Minute Microwave Lava Cake (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)
December 28, 2012 By 10 Comments
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 […]
Lemon Infused Brussels
December 19, 2012 By 2 Comments
There is no doubt that I love my greens. Kale, spinach, arugula and more! There is scarcely a green that my family won’t eat. That is, unless you are a brussel sprout. It wasn’t until going gluten-free that I learned to love brussel sprouts. Before then I gagged at the thought. No matter how they […]
Potatoes au Gratin (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Vegan Option Noted)
November 21, 2012 By 4 Comments
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
November 14, 2012 By 32 Comments
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)
November 12, 2012 By 21 Comments
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 […]

November 11, 2012 By 3 Comments
Is it just me, or as this year goes on, do the months seem to get shorter? Can you believe tomorrow is Ingredient Challenge Monday-November?!? Yeah, me either! Even with more than 30 days to sample all of the wonderful Winter Squash recipes in October’s Ingredient Challenge, it just did not seem like enough time […]
Share the Love with Vegan Carrot Cake Coconut Macaroons
November 7, 2012 By 17 Comments
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)
October 24, 2012 By 9 Comments
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 […]
