I can’t believe I am inside baking!!! The girls are out in the wading pool for the first time, and we have opened the windows and turned on the whole-house fan. It’s not quite yet a million degrees in here, and certainly doesn’t feel anything like it does in late August when we are canning, … Read more

I made these cupcakes about a year ago for the first time, and recently revisited the recipe, which was as good as I had remembered. Why I never posted it here is beyond me, because they are sinful and delicious, and worth sharing! Grain-free Chocolate Cupcakes: 1/2 cup coconut flour 1 tbs almond flour 1/2 … Read more

I finally made muffins on a Monday again, after months of thinking about it and not doing it. Why I can’t stick with this is beyond me! It does make life easier. Clearly, I need to make myself a file of only muffin recipes! These made enough for us to have as part of breakfast … Read more

After a winter of general wellness for all of us, I am hanging on to a nasty cold we were hit with about six weeks ago. I just can’t kick the sniffles! In a moment of general malaise today, I decided what I really “needed” was the comfort of a piece of really crusty bread. … Read more

This was a paleo bread recipe that I modified so that it would be a little fluffier and sweeter. You can certainly make bread with flax, eggs, nuts, and little else, but since we still consume grains, I wanted something with a bit of a texture similar to the breads we have known in our … Read more

Mmmm these are absolutely as delicious as they look AND the dough is really fun to play with- like “real” dough! They are a tad bit more crumbly than biscuits that contain gluten, but VERY satisfying! We have been making these for a few months now, and each time I change a thing or two, … Read more

Here is a recipe (sadly, no photo!) that I wanted to share with you after my potato chip addiction post. Somehow, I got side-tracked along the way, but here it is! Missing bbq flavored potato chips? These are just as addictive. Barbecue Crackers: 1 cup of any barbecue sauce (that is compatible w/your diet) … Read more

With every meal plan, I always think to myself how much quicker dinner would go if only I had one day where I could do vegetable prep, and yet I never get that day (or make myself take the time!) Starting a few weeks ago, I finally decided enough was enough and something had to … Read more

I love food best when it is exactly like this. These mini quiches fit the bill for being quick, easy, beautiful, nutritious, one-bowl, filling, versatile, and best of all, portable! And as a bonus (this is turning into an infomercial!,) they are freeze-able as well. Both girls loved these, and Goose requested more tomorrow with … Read more

Chia is all the rage right now, apparently. There are recipes galore for chia puddings out there, but I haven’t seen any that are smooth. Since the texture of chia seeds in a gelled liquid isn’t appealing to me, I thought I would try blasting them with some milk in the blender and making a … Read more
