Crispy Prosciutto Snacks (Paleo)

Did you ever make a great discovery in the kitchen, forget all about it, and then rediscover it later on? This happens to me sometimes, since I don’t repeat many recipes, but I still gravitate toward the same flavors and types of food (I’m looking at you, brunch.) That’s totally what happened to me here. […]

Chocolate Bacon Truffles (with a Dairy-Free option)

My darlings, I am so glad to bring this post to you. All of that broken computer nonsense is over and done- how lucky and thankful I am to have a husband who can fix anything (thank you for all your help, too, YouTube- couldn’t have done it without you). And what better way to greet […]

Holiday Hosting for Every Appetite

Join me at MPMK today where I’m giving 5 tips to hosting guests with alternative diets, food allergies or other dietary restrictions. It doesn’t have to be a huge headache if you do a little planning. (Or it might still be a headache, but at least your guests will know you love them very much!)

Sesame Beef Stir Fry (gluten-free)

I have a lot of good cookbooks, and I really don’t pull them out enough. When I do, I usually just find some inspiration and end up making a new recipe instead of following the recipes provided. Typical food blogger, ahem. This recipe came about after a meal-planning session with a friend this week (and […]

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 […]

Thai Chicken Taquitos

I felt like a real genius with this one, you guys. This crazy Thai/Mexican fusion taquito idea just popped into my brain and would not leave until I made it happen. All I could think about was peanut sauce for days. Days! Then another idea called Chicken Satay Lettuce Wraps became best friends with the […]

Spent Grain Crackers

I have awesome friends. I have awesome friends who let me borrow their fancy blenders, no questions asked. And friends who tell me about secret local food co-ops. And friends who dehydrate our spent grain from homebrewing and then spin it up into flour for me. Just because.Are you jeal? My friends are AWE-SOME. Just […]

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 […]

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 […]
