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
February 27, 2013 By 21 Comments
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
February 20, 2013 By 10 Comments
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 […]
Strawberry Topped Boston Cream Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Paleo)
February 14, 2013 By 4 Comments
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 […]
Zuppa Toscana (Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free)
January 28, 2013 By 8 Comments
I’ve mentioned a number of times how much I love Bountiful Baskets; not only have they reduced our produce costs by hundreds of dollars, every month…I have also been introduced to a number of fruits and vegetables previously unknown to me! Most recently, we received several heads of something called Salad Savoy. Having no clue […]
Pomegranate Balsamic Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Just over one month ago, I gladly shared the secret that got my children to eat brussel sprouts. These lemon-infused brussels made it easy to deceive my children into trying more than just one bite and helped them discover that they like brussels. Only, I don’t like deceiving my children. And while these brussels defy […]
Autoimmune-Friendly Paleo Apple Sausage

To my readers on Facebook who were expecting this recipe earlier today, my apologies. An impromptu date with my husband took priority, although I am excited to be able to get this recipe to you tonight. I first created this sausage back when I did my first Whole30 and needed something that was quick yet […]

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 […]
Paleo Garlic Cheese Biscuits
January 2, 2013 By 14 Comments
A few weeks ago, my friend Shirley Braden from Gluten-Free Easily posted her recipe for Garlic Cheese Biscuits. When she shared the link over on Facebook, I commented on how amazing her biscuits looked to which she said: “Sunny, I’m looking for you to make a grain-free version. I haven’t gotten to that yet, but […]
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 […]
