Hands down, one of the BEST upgrades we’ve made to our cooking arsenal was the addition of an electric Smoker. Like many of you, I was hesitant when Ray mentioned that he’d love to get a smoker. Of course I thought that it would be an expensive purchase, that we’d hardly use. I mean really, how often…
Some of my favorite foods are the easiest to make. And my Oven Baked Adobo Pork Chops are the perfect example. Not only are they easy and delicious, they are totally healthy. Paleo friendly, gluten-free, and contain zero carbs, but full of flavor. Many people shy away from pork chops at home because they are…
My Homemade BBQ Spice Dry Rub is the perfect balance of sweet and spice. But don’t worry, it’s not “hot” just spiced, as in using a combination of spices. The touch of cumin and ginger are what really make the flavors POP.
It was love at first bite, these Gluten Free Wild Ramp Fritters are a delicious and creative way to use springs best wild foraged treat! Can you tell that we are Ramp obsessed?? Ramp season doesn’t last very long so we try to enjoy them as often as possible when they are fresh. These delicious…
These Ham & Cheddar Scones with Wild Ramps are the perfect Spring treat. Filled with leftover Easter ham and fresh picked wild leeks (aka Ramps), these scones are perfect for anytime of the day.
A traditional Florentine pasta, ricotta gnocchi is the lighter version of northern Italy’s potato gnocchi—made even healthier by substituting grain-free flours for the traditional all-purpose flour. This gnocchi cooks up as soft, mild-flavored dumplings. They are delicious with any type of sauce you’d usually serve on pasta but I recommend sautéing them with spinach, tomatoes and feta! If you’ve never made…
Halushki (aka Fried Cabbage and Noodles) is traditional dish of Polish and Slovak heritage, traditionally braised cabbage and egg noodles smothered in butter. Growing up, it was a staple at my grandmother’s dinner table, and today it’s one of my favorite comfort foods. Fried Cabbage and Noodles was one of the meals that I missed the most, when switching…
If you read my previous post, you won’t be surprised to hear  that even though my Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins are totally delicious, it was nearly impossible for us to eat our way through all 24 of them over this weekend. We even shared a few with our friends but still had some left over. While…
Perhaps you’ve heard me singing the praises of Azure Standard over the past few months.  Azure Standard started out as an organic farm over 40 years ago and has since grown into the largest independent natural and organic food distributor in the country. As a result of extraordinary growth and steadfast commitment, Azure now delivers more than 14,000 non-GMO and organic products direct…
There isn’t a meal that’s comforting on a cold day quite like a bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup. However if you’re eating paleo, grain/gluten-free, noodles are a big no-no since they are packed full of wheat and you can’t just pick them out, since those pesky noodles contaminate the whole pot! My Paleo Homestyle Chicken Noodle Soup is…
It’s almost surprising that such my rich and delicious Gluten-Free Crab Bisque can be made in less than 30 minutes, and it isn’t thickened with grains! My Gluten-Free Crab Bisque can also be made with a combination of crab, shrimp, and lobster to make a seafood bisque, if desired.
My Low-Carb Cauliflower Mac-N-Cheese is the perfect way to get all the traditional flavors of macaroni and cheese, only chock-full of healthy cauliflower instead of pasta. And for a crunchy, crumbly topping, sprinkled with my Low Carb Breading Mix! You’ll be surprised how un-conveitonal ingredients like cottage cheese can add a thick creaminess to the cheese sauce without extra…
