Inside: Our family favorite recipe for Paleo Swedish Meatballs. Today I’m sharing one of our family favorite recipes. My five year old has a “thing” for meatballs – and I can’t say I blame her. Meatballs are pretty fun to eat AND make. And since it’s pretty impossible to find a gluten-free version while dining…
Inside: My recipe for Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten free, Grain Free) I love a good soft, puffy chocolate chip cookie. The softer and puffier, the better. What I don’t love is what traditional cookies do to my body (arthritis flare ups are NO JOKE.) It’s Valentine’s day tomorrow, and I was in the…
Inside: Some of my favorite no egg lectin free breakfast ideas. When I first started the Plant Paradox diet, it was a bit of struggle to find lectin free recipes to make. And for some reason, my biggest struggle with lectin free recipes was finding options for a lectin free, plant paradox approved breakfast. I found…
Nothing against mama, but it seems like the broccoli of my youth was usually boiled, steamed, or stir-fried to within an inch of its life into a limp, soft, squishy mass of green. Yum. Ok, not so much. I never really ASKED for broccoli for dinner. RELATED: Best Ever Roasted Crispy Brussels Sprouts Leaves I…
I’ve been craving Asian flavors for quite some time but it’s hard to find paleo/grain free options in restaurants, so I thought I’d play around in the kitchen and see what I could come up with. And you guys – this recipe turned out just like the real thing! My little one never even suspected…
On Saturday mornings, my family likes to linger over breakfast. We brew coffee, stay in our pjs, and cook together. During the week, it seems like we’re always rushing to eat and run out the door – but Saturdays? We like to take our time and try new recipes. Today I tried out a new…
We were SO fortunate to spend time in Thailand and fell in love with curries of all kinds. The Thais believe that a proper dish showcases 4 flavors – spicy, salty, sour, and sweet. For those of us on a paleo/whole30 diet, we often struggle with the “sweet” flavor. That’s why I’m so excited for…
I find myself sometimes craving Chinese takeout. Orange chicken – with it’s sticky, sweet, citrusy sauce used to be one of my favorite meals. But with all the scary additives, deep-fried chicken, sugar-laden sauce – it’s not exactly a healthy choice. So I re-created a healthier version with grain free chicken meatballs that I feel…
I’m not a huge fan of chicken breast. It’s often bland, dry, and super boring. I avoid ordering it in restaurants at all costs. But chicken is often an easy choice for my family. It’s usually prepared quickly, it’s easy to find and affordable, and we almost ALWAYS have some in the freezer. Thankfully I’ve…
There’s nothing more delicious than fresh pasta, but for those of us who react to gluten and avoid other grains, we just can’t indulge. Spaghetti squash (in the pressure cooker) or cabbage noodles are okaaaaay, but if you’re craving fresh pasta, it’s hard to find a good substitute. That’s why I’m so excited about this…
