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 […]
Citrus Hoisin Salmon and Sesame Sauteed Kale
I just remembered that I like fish. How did I forget this? Reasons why: 1. It’s quick cooking. 2. You can flavor it with anything. 3. My kids eat it! 4. It’s good for you. 5. It’s beautiful to look at. 6. It makes me feel fancy. Seriously, I’m in love! I started getting these […]
Quick Chocolate Avocado Pudding with Coconut Topping
Raise your hand if you ate pudding cups when you were a kid. (Hand raised.) Raise your hand if you ate pudding cups when you were in college. (Hand raised- no shame.) Raise your hand if you still eat pudding cups as an adult? (I wish. Where do I find refined-sugar free, corn syrup-free, […]
Dark Chocolate Coconut Bites
Let me take you back for a second- imagine it’s Halloween in the early 90s. I’m probably dressed as a black cat (it was my thing). I come home with a pillowcase full of candy and start my sorting ritual with my mom. I would hoard the peanut butter cups and Hershey bars, and I […]
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 […]
Sweet Cannoli Fruit Dip
Looking for something to do with that homemade ricotta? Who am I kidding? None of you have made any ricotta since Monday. (If you have, I salute you and we are destined to be BFFs.) I must be the only crazy person with a fridge full of raw milk and an interest in cheese making. […]
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 […]
End of Summer Chopped Salad with Citrus Honey Viniagrette
As I declared and made official in my last post, summer is not over. It’s still August (I think?). And it’s still warm. And Labor Day is still a few days out. Since I know you don’t mind, I will carry on with my summer-related nonsense. Sorry I didn’t get my act together for […]
