Coffee Cake (Grain-Free, Paleo, GAPS)
The scene in my kitchen at 6:30AM this morning: Two half-dressed kids are clamoring at my feet for their milk cups to be filled. Three-year-old Elliott climbs up into the helper tower, discovers the pan of coffee cake and yells, “LUCY! CAKE FOR BREAKFAST!” She squeals and nods her head to tell us she’s on […]
Quick Blackberry Thyme Lemonade
So, I’m planning to bombard you with a whole bunch of drink recipes this week. Is that cool? I had some time without the kids and I got carried away with my experimentation (it looked like the produce section of the grocery store blew up in my kitchen). All of the drinks turned out to […]
Sweet Sunset Cooler
I’d like to introduce you to your new favorite drink of Summer 2013: the Sweet Sunset Cooler. I am all about this drink! It really surprised me. I typically don’t buy apricots or nectarines (I have a love/forget-to-love relationship with stone fruit), but I picked some up on a whim and I am glad I […]
Surviving GAPS Intro: Stage 3
For the next 6 weeks, I’ll be chronicling my journey through the GAPS Intro Diet with a little self-made questionnaire. What did I eat on Stage 3? Hooray for Stage 3! Eggs and avocado are back!! Scrambled Eggs in Tallow (so glad to have my whole eggs back!) More meatballs. Cauliflower Soup, Squash Soup Beef […]
16 Inspiring Spring Salads
Are you guys feeling neglected? I know I’ve been doing a lot of work over on Modern Parents Messy Kids lately- it just ended up that a bunch of my posts were happening around the same time of the month. I’m sharing the links for all the salad recipes pictured above over there today, […]
Citrus Hoisin Salmon and Sesame Sauteed Kale

Spiced Nut Butter Balls
I am a fool for this snack ball trend. They are so good! So easy to pull together! So much better to snack on then junk food! The one thing they don’t have going for them is a good name- Nut Balls is just awful. So is Snack Balls. Energy Balls? Nut Butter Balls? A […]
Apple Cinnamon Muffins (Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Paleo)
I might need a Paleo baking intervention. I’ve gotten the hang of it now and the treats are flowing freely again in this house.. but my tummy troubles have not disappeared. (They are still undiagnosed.. go here for more of my story.) Now my wheels are turning again, trying to figure out why. I thought […]
Sunrise Breakfast Hash with Poached Eggs
Sweet potatoes, bacon, poached eggs. My darlings. I have been eating this combination regularly for weeks and I just can’t get enough. I am a like a bottomless pit of eggs and bacon- the vegetables are just thrown in for variety and nutrition (and because we would go bankrupt eating pastured bacon every […]
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 […]
