Why You Should Use Wool Dryer Balls
Wool dryer balls; you've probably heard of them. But if you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out. Cleaning products really are the last bastion of unhealthy chemicals in the average green home. Dryer sheets are chock full of toxins. I absolutely love my wool dryer balls. They work amazingly well and actually speed up drying time on my clothes! Plus, I always had to buy the more expensive unscented "free" dryer sheets, so these wool dryer balls are really a much better choice. If you … [Read More...]
Copycat Julius Paleo Kid-Friendly Orange Smoothies!
We're falling in love with smoothies and both of my girls have long been addicted to all things orange. So these orange smoothies---an allergy-free kid-friendly Copycat Orange Julius recipe---were a massive hit at our house. It's an amazing treat for breakfast or after-school snack.

Candy Bacon: Irresistible and Paleo!
Do you love bacon? I do, I call it my gateway meat. It's the one meat I always liked. We buy some amazing smoked bacon locally from Heywood's Provisions.

You can leave the honey granules off and just bake your bacon this way for regular bacon, too. It is the best way to make … [Read More...]
Bacon Carbonara
My husband, Mr. Meaty, makes a mean Bacon Carbonara. It's one of the first things he made me for dinner when we were dating. And it is delicious. Bacon has always been my meat weakness. And now that I'm a chicken-and-baconatarian, I am enjoying the flexibility of bacon. Since I'm unfortunately gluten-free as well, we had to come up with a noodles option for me. We went with flat rice noodles and it worked fabulously. The rest of the family has theirs with spaghetti noodles. The crispy bacon, … [Read More...]
Dairy-Free Snow Ice Cream!
I LOVE snow ice cream. I lived in Denver when I was a kid and we had it many, many times a year. We absolutely LOVED it. And it was so simple. I think we used evaporated milk in our recipe. But, since Goose is dairy allergic and I'm off dairy due to health concerns (I'm trying a Paleo diet for my autoimmune condition), I need to make ours dairy free for this amazing 3-inch snowfall in ATLANTA! I still can't believe we could scoop 8 CUPS of snow off just the corner of our patio table. … [Read More...]
