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 […]

I do not eat potatoes often; my body just isn’t ready to process that many carbs.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I can’t believe we haven’t had an Ingredient Challenge Monday since July, but with the Healthy Lunchbox Series overlapping the 2nd Monday in both August and September, missing those months just couldn’t be helped! That being said, with Bountiful Baskets offering blueberries in bulk this summer, I enjoyed the extra time to review and re-review […]
Coconut Flour Apple Crumble (nut-free)
October 2, 2012 By 13 Comments
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 […]
