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,…
Dairy Free Cheesy Potato Casserole (with AIP option)
Up here in the Midwest, we love food. We especially love eating food with friends. The average joe’s paridise up here is a nice big potluck. And the most favored food here? Cheese, of course. You know you’re in the Midwest when you find a huge dish of cheesy potatoes at every potluck, get-together, and…
Paleo Zucchini Muffins
I remember the first time we got a pattypan squash. It was last summer at one of our local farmers markets. Pattypans are sooo cute, and we love to saute them or roast them with some garlic and sea salt. Today was my day off though, and I felt like doing something a…
Papaya Pepper
We are a very meat-and-potatoes family. Give us a nice roast, some baked potatoes, and lots of butter, salt, and pepper, and we are happy campers. Sometimes though, I like to sneak in little surprises. Like putting beef heart in stew, or adding liver to meatloaf (I actually haven’t gotten the courage to try…

Creamy Paleo Cucumber Salad
A ton has happened in the last couple of weeks. My book has come out, I’ve hosted a couple guest posts, I’ve guest posted, and I’ve been on Low Carb Conversations (listen here if you haven’t yet)! Life is crazy amazing. All the craziness is also making me a little silly: Anyway,…
Beet and Carrot Salad with Basil and Raw ACV
When the weather warms up (finally!), I always start thinking about fresh produce. I thought today that I should probably make a treat recipe for the blog, but well, I could only think about fresh produce. Mom went to the farmer’s market a couple of days ago and bought some beautiful beets that I…
Chive Flower Salad With Chicken
This recipe is all about summer. Warm sunshine, birds chirping. Fresh veggies. Vibrant colors. A crisp, cool salad is just perfect. When the weather warms up, I really start craving fresh produce. I eat it every day, every meal, every snack. Just so delicious. It’s amazing how when you start eating real food how…
Bacon Wrapped Salmon with Baked Plantain Fries (AIP-Friendly Meal)
Ahhhh yes. Salmon. It’s fish, you know. How can it possibly taste good? Well, you see, there is a foolproof way to make anything (well, almost anything) taste good; and that is wrapping it in bacon. Sound crazy? Just try it. It is so delicious. Crisp bacon wrapped around tender, mild salmon; it’s like a…

Stovetop Bacon Brussels Sprouts
Simple is most often best. I made these brussels sprouts with supper tonight and I sincerely wish I had make twice as much; that’s how fast they went! We ate them with hamburger soup, but feel free to pair them with any protein. These are so good that I could even see making them for…
Crispy Fried Plantains
I feel almost guilty posting a recipe as simple as this one, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about cooking in the last year, it’s that simple is almost always best. I make these several times per week, and I have to hide them from my mom when I do because she also loves…
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
My dad loves this soup. I was totally shocked, because he hates squash. Like he will not touch a squash with a ten-foot pole. But he is dipping potato chips in it as I type. Not that I recommend that for health reasons, but still, I have never seen him even consider eating anything orange….
Paleo Beef Stew
Stew is probably my favorite meal to cook. It’s not quick, but the process requires only real, whole foods, a little know-how, and lots of love. Creating a great stew is like painting a picture, layer upon layer, to make the finished dish flavorful and complex; truly a masterpiece. This beef stew is full…
