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
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….
Paleo Rolls 2.0 (Nut-free, Yeast-free, Coconut-free)
A good roll is definitely a must in our house when the holidays roll around. Before paleo, we would all eat Grandma’s delicious homemade whole wheat rolls, and before I was diagnosed with celiac, I definitely still cheated on Thanksgiving and ate one slathered with butter. I’m now to the point where touching bread makes…
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….
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…
Paleo Cottage Fries (white potatoes)
We’ve always been a meat-and-potatoes family. Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, grilled potatoes, you name it, we cook it. Once we went paleo we eliminated the Ortega steak fries and subbed in homemade wedges and such. I know potatoes are not always acknowledged as paleo, but they are a real food and great for active people….

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!…

Cauliflower Rice Pilaf
Ever miss rice? I know I do. But I’ve seen numerous paleo recipes that call for grated cauliflower in place of the rice and I tell you it’s so similar it’s eerie. This recipe was born out of a love for boxed Rice-a-Roni rice pilaf mixes. Mom used to make them before we became…
