Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites (No Refined Sugar, Grain-free and Gluten-free Options)

I miss you guys! What’s happening? What’s new? How’s your pumpkin carving/Halloween costuming/PSL consumption going this year? We are a bit of a Halloween-neutral family. We will dress up if there’s a party to go to, take the kids trick-or-treating, buy a few pumpkins and hit the fall festival scene, but we don’t love Halloween. […]

Salmon, Swiss Chard and Egg Skillet

It’s been a minute since I posted a savory recipe, hasn’t it? It’s been all juice concoctions and coffee cake and pancake stacks up in here lately. It’s a lot easier to post things like fat pancakes and banana bread that  I can photograph during nap time than it is to catch a photo of what […]

Grain-Free Peach Cobbler (Paleo, GAPS)

Feels good to be home. Feels good to be home alone, with no babies. Just for the day. Feels good to do some cooking, take some pictures and be leisurely about writing a blog post. (Also feels good to watch old episodes of Friday Night Lights while I do.) The kids and I were traveling […]

Creole Rice Skillet with Andouille Sausage

I heart quick dinners. Don’t we all? Some nights there just isn’t time to mess around with the oven and the pots and the pans and the measuring cups and the nonsense. Some nights I just pull out the cast iron and see what happens. The night I made this skillet, I was lucky enough […]

Maple Bacon Donuts (Grain-Free, Gluten-Free, Paleo)

  You guys, I bought a donut pan! I found it at T.J. Maxx for like five bucks, so it basically jumped in my cart and wouldn’t take no for an answer. Now we can have donuts together every day! I want to know who came up with the maple bacon combo first. I would […]

Pumpkin Streusel Muffins (Paleo, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free)

  It’s been a rainy morning here in GA today. Even the clouds know it’s a Monday. Though it’s pretty sad-looking outside, the rain has not deterred us from having a lovely morning so far. I am still on my happy-husband-high from a weekend away (at Chateau Elan, ooh la la!) and I will ride […]

Rosemary Roasted Fingerlings and Brussel Sprouts

This new blog feels like a giant, open room that I can’t wait to furnish. I am excited to fill this blog with new, fresh recipes.. maybe some old favorites, too.. I am loving it! This recipe is a little bit old and a little bit new. I’ve always (I mean, since I’ve been a […]

Almost Paleo Pumpkin Squares with Maple Walnut Frosting [Grain/Refined Sugar Free]

I know Paleo is definitely a thing, but is ‘Almost Paleo’ a thing? Well, I’m making it a thing. These little squares are going to make your paleo-loving tummies very happy, with or without the frosting. ‘Cause let’s face it, the frosting is the problem here. Apparently those old cave people didn’t do cream cheese […]

Grilled Corn with Garlic Herb Butter

It’s still summer, right? It seems like everyone in the food blogging world (maybe the real world, too?) is already making fall comfort foods and pumpkin desserts and back-to-school lunch ideas.. but in my world, it’s still, like, 90 degrees every day.. so I’ma keep grilling. Cool? Cool. I like my corn just lightly grilled.. […]

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

I love posts that have the labels “chocolate” and “vegetables” together. Sometimes it seems my main goal in life is figuring out how to fit chocolate into every meal. Still working on it. Chocolate-covered broccoli probably wouldn’t go over well with my crew. Or would it.. Back to reality! I made this cake last night […]
