Roasted Garlic Chicken, Carrots & Parsnips

Roasted Garlic Chicken, Carrots & Parsnips

I am obsessed with cast iron pan dinners… they are the tastier version of sheet pan dinners and frankly the clean up is easier.  Just scrape off and swish with water and put the pan back in the hot oven or towel dry… with a […]

Fermented Guacamole (Nightshade-Free)

Fermented Guacamole (Nightshade-Free)

Who loves guac?!  Personally, I love guacamole… but I truly do not enjoy the speed at which I have to consume it so it does not turn brown.  Once in a while I will make fermented kefir guac which doesn’t brown, but I can no […]

Cassava Sourdough (Paleo, AIP, Keto Cycling)

Cassava Sourdough (Paleo, AIP, Keto Cycling)

I love artisan sourdough.  I was able to tolerate Einkorn over all others until I developed Hashimoto’s and needed to go completely grain free.  I have done keto, paleo, whole30 and even full carnivore to heal my gut when my health has dipped to its […]

Paleo Cassava Tortillas

Paleo Cassava Tortillas

Cassava tortillas are a family favorite.  In trying to wean my family off of (soooo much) corn, I was experimenting with these using different flours and methods… and finally settled on this.  As a bonus I can eat them thanks to a long but worthwhile […]

CBD Love Gummies!

CBD Love Gummies!

Alright my lovelies… this is my first ever GUEST POST!  This recipe is from my lovely friend Tatiana, whose skills in the kitchen are supreme.  We met in a kitchen!  We connect over many things but I found myself making breakfast with this amazing woman […]

Einkorn Kefir Biscuits

Einkorn Kefir Biscuits

These biscuits are great with Einkorn or white spelt and you can make up the dry ingredients as a meal prep on the weekend and add the kefir and honey the day of.  We often store a jar of pre-made in the pantry for easy […]

Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies (Keto, Paleo)

Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies (Keto, Paleo)

I have to say… when I was a kid I really liked my mom’s cookies.  They were blue ribbon award winning oatmeal cookies and they were gorgeous.  But my favorite cookies were Double Chocolate Mint Chip ones she make on a whim once and then […]

Lamb Meatballs

Lamb Meatballs

These meatballs are a weekly (or at least fortnightly) staple meal in our home and are always a favorite.  They are easy to make, autoimmune friendly, egg-free, gluten-free and grain-free!  I usually make them with hot chips of either the nightshade or sweet potato variety […]

Cassava Almond Anise Biscotti

Cassava Almond Anise Biscotti

These are a long time favorite in our little family.  The original recipe is from a few renditions back and was given to me by the owners of a local Italian bistro that has since closed up shop.  I could never eat them myself… but […]

Apple Pie with Cassava Crust (Paleo options, No Sugar)

Apple Pie with Cassava Crust (Paleo options, No Sugar)

I was really pleased with the results of this pie.  It was tricky to be sure to make the cassava flour behave but in the end with my usual tricks it did just fine. It is an offshoot of my Einkorn Apple Pie, but it […]
