Fall comes early here in southern Wisconsin, and I couldn’t be more excited. Hunting season is just around the corner. I really think this is the year I’ll land a nice buck. We just got a scope mounted on the new rifle, and I’m daydreaming about how awesome this stuffed squash would taste with ground…
Paleo Chocolate Pudding (no avocado)
Pudding is awesome. Any questions? No? Ok, that’s the end of today’s blog post. Ok fine we can do a recipe. I always thought that all the Jello products ( jello and pudding) were just thickened with weird gums and stuff. It was a crazy discovery to learn that the main ingredient was actually a…
Paleo Apple Slab Pie (with AIP option)
As I sit here typing, I am really happy about this paleo apple slab pie recipe, but a little disappointed because today was going to be a big rock climbing day at my local climbing gym. It didn’t happen because I don’t pay attention to what I’m doing. I was cutting cabbage with literally the…
Paleo Broccoli Salad
It’s finally warming up here in the Midwest and I am so happy! When the sun finally starts shining, I start thinking about fresh veggies and paleo broccoli salad. It’s too early to start planting anything, but the supermarkets are getting fresher produce. Our family loves to have crisp, flavorful salads at out summer…

Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes
We all love lemon poppyseed anything. Like anything. Especially muffins. My little sister Julia will eat three lemon poppyseed muffins in a row if we turn our back. This recipe is dedicated to her because she is also the family pancake lover. This recipe is definitely the best of both worlds! Shared at Fat Tuesday,…
Chestnut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies 2 Ways
There is a new family controversy afoot. Yesterday I got a reader request for a chestnut flour chocolate chip cookie recipe. I thought, ‘Wow, why didn’t I think of that!.’ So I did a quick Google search for ideas, then set to work. The resulting cookie was thin, chewy, and fairly nutty. …
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 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…
My Kombucha Adventures (how to make kombucha)
Well, here it is; my promised post about my kombucha-making endeavors! Kombucha is essentially a fermented tea. The tea is fermented via a culture called a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) It’s most likely a vinegar mother, but no one really know where it came from. Kind of exciting, right? Anyway, kombucha has…
Paleo Fajitas
I regret to say that I cannot take any credit for this recipe. These fajitas are all Dad (the Grill King). I would have him write a guest post on this recipe, but he’s not exactly a blogger if you know what I mean. 😉 Anyway, I was blown away when I tried these fajitas….
Warm Buttered Kelp Noodles and Vegetables
I must share with you my latest successful creation, Warm Buttered Noodles with veggies. I decided to experiment one day at lunch and quite fell in love with the results! Mom was quite skeptical when she saw me adding nutmeg, but the moment she tasted it she was won over. Seriously, a pinch of nutmeg…
