With triplets it’s difficult to find foods that all three agree on; sometimes that means cooking three separate meals just to get them to eat (something I said I’d never do pre-kids). Imagine my surprise when, at around three years old, they all took a liking to smoked salmon. To me smoked salmon seems to…
“I’m Bacon You For A Date” Heart Skewers
Looking for an easy, guilt free (even Paleo) treat for Valentines Day? These little babies are easy to make, and combine that sweet ‘n salty deliciousness. My kids loved them too; so feel free to make some for your smallest sweethearts as well. I used medjool dates, Wellshire Farms Bacon (no sugar added), and Pink Himalayan…
Blackened Yuca Fries (Paleo & gluten free)
These may just be my new addiction! Yuca cooks up similar to potato fries, but achieves a nice crispy outer skin without the addition of flours (that are sometimes used on traditional fries). It is necessary to parboil the yuca to soften them a bit before baking, but it’s an easy extra step. In case…
Egg-a-mole Deviled Eggs (Paleo & Whole30)
These Egg-a-mole Beet Dyed Deviled Eggs would be a perfect addition to Easter Brunch or as an appetizer on any occasion. Bonus: two out of three of my kids loved them (my son doesn’t do eggs)! I used Duck Eggs because they’re a little bigger than chicken eggs, and tend to stay together better, but…
Breakfast Delicata Squash (Paleo, Whole30, Gluten Free)
I’m really loving the mild flavor of delicata squash, especially how it picks up the favors of herbs and spices from other foods. My sister Laura, who blogs at Paleo Metamorphosis, was recently telling me about how she cooked eggs inside a delicata squash, so I decided to give it a whirl with some other…
Paleo Pumpkin Monkey Bread
There’s nothing better than waking up on a holiday morning to a warm, festive treat. One of my favorite holiday treats has always been Monkey Bread; it’s fun to eat, tastes great, and, according to my husband, it goes perfectly with coffee. Call me crazy, but I think it’s really fun to make too! My…
Kuri Squash Miracle Lasagna
Back before Instagram, probably around the time Facebook started, I was a member of a recipe swapping site called Recipezaar (now Food.com). A favorite recipe of mine at the time was called Miracle Lasagna, which was originally a recipe from my sister-in-law. This was back in 2005 before I was grain free or dairy free, so this…
Paleo Pumpkin Protein Smoothie
Don’t get me wrong, I love living in Southern California, but we really don’t get much of a Fall around here (in terms of weather). Usually by the end of October some cooler weather comes creeping in, but until then it can be some of the hottest days of the year. All that hot hot…
Herbed Potato Smothered Salmon
Fall is in the air! That means leaves changing colors, rustic colored clothing, pumpkin flavored everything, AND… comfort foods!! Even as a young kid one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving was the mashed potatoes. I’d make a little “swimming pool” with mashed potatoes and gravy, and make one of my olives go for a…
Crispy Pork Belly Fried Cauli Rice
For my birthday we went to a Japanese restaurant where they make the most delicious fried rice. The only problem is that they make it all at once for the entire table (teppan tables) which makes it more difficult to request no sauces. We hadn’t eaten there in a while, so I had forgotten that…
