When I was a kid learning to cook, strata was the one dish that never really made sense to me. Like why add a bunch of bread to an already delicious egg casserole recipe? It always seemed like a source of unnecessary carbs and an extra filler ingredient. That is until I tried Fox Hill…

Paleo Breakfast Casserole
In our house, Breakfast Casserole means something very specific. Every year around the holiday season, we usually have family stay at our house and the customary breakfast used to be an egg and veggie casserole with a base of tater tots and topped with olive, onions, mushrooms, and peppers. When we went paleo, we subbed…
15 Paleo Meals Under 15 Minutes
I love cooking, and I could spend all day in the kitchen. Actually, I often do. Long, involved recipes do not faze me. But sometimes you’re starving and late for work, so you get home late and the kids are begging you for dinner. That’s what this list of recipes is for – all of…
Mango Coconut Mug Cake (paleo, nut-free, fruit-sweetened)
I just love mug muffins. There’s something amazing about mixing up an egg with some coconut flour and eating a big ol’ muffin a minute later. I’ve made so many mug muffin variations; it’s almost embarrassing. Not quite though, because mug muffins are awesome! Mangoes are in season again and so now…

Spaghetti Squash Carbonara with Butternut Squash
I love to bake. Like love it. Breads, cookies, muffins, pies; if it has sugar; I love to make it paleo. But it’s the new year now, and I’m pretty sure everybody is pretty sugared out from the holidays. I was in the mood for something comforting and creamy when I made this carbonara,…
How to Make A Hard boiled Egg Perfectly (Tutorial)
Ah yes… the infamous hard-boiled egg. So simple, yet so insidious, its creamy white and yellow interior hiding dark secrets of difficulty. The hard-boiled egg seems like it should be easy, and it is, but it’s also really easy to mess up. Leave it cooking too long and the yolk is gritty; take it off…
Paleo Lo Mein
This recipe is really quite easy; especially if you buy pre-chopped veggies. The pure flavors of Chinese lo mein are recreated in this recipe without noodles, soy or even sesame oil, which can be damaged by cooking. This lo mein is so delicious, and it was the best breakfast I’ve had in forever. And yes…
Fluffy Chestnut Flour Pancakes
I should be a commercial for chestnut flour. I just love it when I find a new paleo-friendly ingredient! I honestly don’t know why more paleo people don’t cook with chestnut flour. I adore it because it combines the best of three worlds: the nuttiness of other nut…
Paleo Sausage Hash with Mushrooms
My mom loves to eat my food. Seriously, every time I make a new dish, she’s in the kitchen asking me for some! As a result, I made two batches of this hash within the space of an hour yesterday. Her exact words: “Whenever you make something, just assume I want some.” High praise indeed!…
Paleo Blueberry Mug Cake
Hi all! Sorry for my absence from cyberspace in the recent weeks. I’ve been quite busy with school and work and saving the world, you know. 😉 I whipped up this muffin for a little after-lunch treat and thought it was yummy enough for a quick blog share! This recipe is a variation of my…
Sweet Potato Crust Quiche with Feta
I sometimes have a hard time getting a nutritious and delicious breakfast on busy school-filled weekday mornings. Usually my breakfast is nutritious but not the most delicious. This frittata solved my problem completely. I got the idea for the filling from a baked-eggs-in-cups recipe that I made last weekend. This version makes more food and…
