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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Super Easy Cauliflower Rice (that even cauliflower-haters will eat!)

Healthy Lunchbox 2016: Week 3: Hot Meals To Go!

🙂 When I created the Healthy Lunchbox Series many, many years ago, my original intent and purpose was to help myself and others discover new and exciting ways to feed our children (and ourselves) that are not only healthy, but also delicious. Over the years, one of the key principles I have kept is to plan […]

Healthy Lunchbox 2016, Week 1: Healthy Snacks

Is it just me or does every summer seem to go a little faster?   Maybe it’s the fact that my family effectively made 3 moves this year…two of those MAJOR moves.  Maybe it’s the fact that my two oldest only have two more years before they are off on missions or college, meaning we […]

Homemade Sauerkraut

  About a week ago, I shared a very, very simple recipe on Facebook with the promise of getting it up quickly!   Thank you so very much to the many positive responses I got on there, and please forgive me for the delay! I don’t know about you, but summertime days just fly by […]
