Roasted and Spiced Autumn Vegetables

It’s a miracle that I have this recipe to share with you today. Not because I’m busy, but because my oven is on the fritz! The ol’ Oven Love oven is breaking down on me. Not the whole thing, oddly enough.. the stove top is still working. So weird! And so inconvenient since oven-using season […]

Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins [with no refined sugar]

I don’t eat much store-bought candy these days, but when Halloween rolls around, I find myself eyeballing those Reese’s peanut butter pumpkins. I know it’s basically the same as a peanut butter cup, but for some reason, the pumpkin always tasted better to me. Maybe a better peanut butter to chocolate ratio? Maybe the eye-catching […]

Chicken, Coconut and Lentil Soup

I’ve got a thing for soup lately. Maybe because it’s getting cooler, maybe because I’m trying to include more bone broth in my diet, maybe because you can just throw anything you want into a pot and call it soup. And this soup is really about just that- throwing a bunch of semi-related ingredients into […]

Honey Nut Butter Cookies

What’s up!? The toddlers have amazed me by sleeping for TWO HOURS so here I am- bringing you some cookies. I wish I could bring them to you personally, but the inmates are running the asylum around here and they just won’t let me out! I’m surprised at how much I’ve been in the kitchen […]

Paleo Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Coconut Whip

 PaleO-M-G. It’s my first attempt at a Paleo cake. Of course, I am not committed to the Paleo Diet as a lifestyle- ya’ll know I love me some raw milk and cheese. But I do see its merits in other ways and it seems to work well for a lot of people. We had a […]

Avocado Banana Bread

Something strange happened last week. I had leftover AVOCADOS. That never happens, like, ever. We were heading out of town for a few days and I needed to use them up quickly. While I have used frozen avocado before with success (just mash and freeze flat in a freezer bag), I wanted to make something […]

Chocolate Covered Cheesecake Bites

Sometimes I see a recipe somewhere and it just gets stuck in my head. I’ll think about making it time and time again; then it will start showing up in my dreams.. just another sign that I spend too much time thinking about food, yikes! A while back, I saw these cheesecake bites on Tessa’s […]

Coconut Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lesson learned so far in life with two babies: sometimes you will just need to make cookies. In some ways, parenting two has been easier than I thought. I bounced back from the birth easier, I am actually able to get us all out of the house in a decent amount of time, I can […]

Fruit and Nut Granola

This post is long overdue. I am a granola person.  It’s just how I roll.  Not only that, but I’m a picky granola person.  I like my granola just so.  And maybe that’s why I’ve waited so long to make it for myself.  I wouldn’t want to force down a batch of bad granola.. yuck. […]
