One of my favorite Christmas tradition that we have is Christmas Cocoa, which we drink while putting up our decorations. Mom used to use Swiss Miss and a candy cane stirrer, but now we enjoy this rich, peppermint-y version of Christmas Cocoa. Enjoy!

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…
Crispy Plantain Chips

Italian-Inspired Paleo Beef Stew (Beef Stew 101)

Avocado Dip with Dill
You all know how much I love avocado, so I thought this post was only natural. I whipped this up last night when I was feeling the need for avocado dressing on my salad. It actually didn’t work on salad as well as I had hoped, but as a dipper for crudites there’s nothing better!…

Paleo Chicken Curry
For my birthday, Mom and I went to this amazing Thai restaurant in Madison and porked out on their to-die-for chicken curry. I wasn’t originally aiming to replicate it when I made up this recipe, but it tastes almost exactly like it! I love this curry because it’s easy and it doesn’t have non-staple ingredients…
Chocolate Avocado Smoothie
Perhaps I should have called this post “How to Get a 12 Year-Old to Eat an Avocado” or something like that because I just made it for Julia and she slurped it right up! I love it because it’s super-creamy and full of amazing fats. You don’t taste the avocado; it just adds a great…
Bacon Wrapped Steaks
Ok…..so like I’m not trying to brag or anything but Dad says this is the best meal he’s had in a long time! It all started this morning when Mom asked me if we should have bacon wrapped venison tonight; I always like my deer meat so I was all for it. Then I ended…

Paleo Grilled Chicken with Italian Marinade
Last night Dad said I could create the marinade for our grilled chicken. I was in the mood for Italian, so I made a marinade recipe based off of Mom’s Italian Dressing recipe. The chicken breasts marinaded for a couple hours and Dad grilled them up on the gas grill. The resulting chicken breasts were…
Paleo Strawberry Shortcake
I think this may be one of the best desserts I’ve ever created. The shortcake is moist and delicious, perfectly complemented by the whipped cream and strawberries. Julia had two huge pieces, Mom raved, Clint lapped his up, while even Dad, who doesn’t eat coconut flour as a rule, liked it. The cool thing about…
Paleo Mexican Casserole
This takeoff of my Pizza Casserole recipe gave me my easy enchilada fix! I used to make paleo enchiladas with egg crepes as tortillas, but boy that was a lot of work! I thought that maybe I could make an enchilada casserole with an enchilada filling instead of my original pizza filling. Julia pronounced…
