Paleo Sandwich Thins (nut-free, egg-free, vegan, low-carb)

June 6, 2016 by Heather Resler

Paleo Sandwich Thins (nut-free, egg-free, vegan)

The day after I got back from Paleo f(x) my dad grilled delicious beef burgers and we ate them with lettuce leaves as usual. But while we were eating Dad made a comment that he missed burger buns; and that was all I needed to get the wheels of my brain turning. I was super…

Paleo Butternut Squash Souffle

November 23, 2015 by Heather Resler

Simple Paleo Butternut Squash Souffle

When I was little, I thought squash was kind of weird.  Orange and squishy; I only liked it with lots of butter and salt.  Actually I loved everything with lots of butter and salt, but that’s another blog post. I’ve realized now that I love squash as long as it is pureed really well so…

Plantain Stuffing (AIP and Vegan Options) – guest post on A Saucy Kitchen

November 19, 2015 by Heather Resler

Plantain Stuffing (AIP and Vegan Options) - guest post on A Saucy Kitchen | Cook It Up Paleo

I have a confession: I never really liked stuffing that much.  It smelled delicious but I just couldn’t take the soggy bread thing.  I also hated the taste of the store-bought whole wheat bread that we would make our stuffing with.  I tried a bite of stuffing at Thanksgiving every year, but never enjoyed it….

Butternut Squash Fritters

Butternut Squash Fritters | Cook It Up Paleo

Sometimes I have a really hard time getting my veggies in.  I’m so busy running from recipe developing to blogging to work to weight lifting to rock climbing that the kitchen sink salads sometimes just don’t happen.  It’s crazy how busy a person can stay even when not in school. That’s why planning ahead is…

3 Ingredient Peach or Nectarine Chia Jam | Cook It Up Paleo

  I know it’s almost fall, but I am so not ready for it.  I actually love fall, but here in Wisconsin fall isn’t a season; it’s the opening act for winter.  Many of my family members and friends are heading off to college and high school this week, and I am starting to smell…

Maple-Cinnamon Pecan Butter

August 10, 2015 by Heather Resler

  I love nut butter.  Definitely too much.  My favorite way to eat it is straight from the spoon, or spread on dark chocolate.   I really enjoy creating new delicious twists on nut butter.  This variation is made with one of my favorite nuts, pecans, and ghee, because ghee is awesome.  Plus a bit…

Summer Minestrone Soup

July 11, 2015 by Heather Resler

  Minestrone soup brings back a lot of memories for me.  I remember the first time I went to Olive Garden.  I went with my mom and we ordered their minestrone and amazing salad.  Then we ate.  And ate.  Their minestrone is so delicious. After the delicious minestrone meal we went to see The Nutcracker…

Bacon and Avocado Kelp Noodle Salad

June 1, 2015 by Heather Resler

  When I was younger, my favorite cookout food was the pasta salad.  No joke.  Even when I went paleo, I could forego the bun and potatoes and chips and soda, but I always had to have a scoop of the pasta salad. Now that I’m a diagnosed celiac, cookout pasta salad cheats are out…

Our family loves to have crisp, flavorful salads at out summer…

Creamy Butternut Squash Lasagna (AIP, guest post on The Paleo Mom)

April 16, 2015 by Heather Resler

My family has a long history of casseroles. My favorite supper as a child was my grandmother’s tater tot casserole, which involved beef, cheese, tater tots, and of course the ever-present cream of mystery soup. I also loved my mother’s chicken and rice casserole, which for me was more of a rice casserole with a…

I’m so excited and honored to be guest posting these paleo deviled eggs on PaleOMG! I’ve never been quite sure if I liked deviled eggs.

Paleo Pierogies- a guest post on Predominantly Paleo

February 11, 2015 by Heather Resler

Grain Free Pierogies | Cook It Up Paleo

There are some foods that hold a certain nostalgia. For me, pierogies is one of those foods. It all began when my aunt and uncle would serve us kids frozen pierogies, fried up in butter. Then my dad started making them for us. For me, pierogies became Dad’s treat, something that we would get when…
