It’s officially fall! Time for all things pumpkin! From steamers to vegan caramel pecan pumpkin pie in a jar, I’ve given you many wonderful ways to enjoy this lovely squash. Today, in true fall fashion, I’d like to share with you what has quickly become a favorite post-workout breakfast for my family and me. Sweet like […]

Apple Pie Cookies (Grain-Free, Vegan Option Noted)

The calendar tells us that autumn has arrived! The weather where you live may or may not agree with that. While we enjoyed temperatures down in the 70’s and 80’s last week (prefect West Texas autumn temperatures), this week we are back in the mid to high 90’s. Meh. That’s West Texas craziness for you. […]

Recipe development is an interesting thing. No doubt we all go about it in our own way, but for me it starts with a memory, a craving or a challenge from a friend or follower. Yep, I have been known to turn my kitchen upside down to help someone reconnect with an old food love […]

Coconut Flour Country Biscuits

Biscuits are one of those cherished southern foods my grandfather was an expert at. Learning how to make these dairy-free proved to be a mild challenge…making them gluten-free? Difficult to say the least. My largest challenge came after discovering that I am sensitive to nuts. Over the last several years I have played with dozens […]

Not Your Momma’s Meatloaf

Meatloaf. Love it or leave it, undoubtedly your mom had some version of meatloaf that would occasionally grace your table growing up. I’ve had many guests through the years raise an eyebrow when I offer them a dinner of this traditionally dry, often unpleasing hunk of meat…these same guests seem surprisingly pleased when they take […]
