I’m doing this 21-day cleanse thing and I am not supposed to eat meat or beans (or dairy or grains), but I can eat lentils. I noticed my iron was low (familiar symptoms when it gets low) so I searched around to find out what I could currently eat that would boost my iron. Quinoa […]
Lunchbox Grain-Free Chicken Nuggets
My kids love chicken nuggets. Not the kind from a fast food place, they’ve never tried those. But they would devour the Costco gluten-free chicken nuggets. Since we’re doing a debt reduction thing AND I’m eating grain-free, I decided to bake up an alternative to our usual homemade Popcorn Chicken Nuggets (they’re fried, so I don’t […]
Paleo Buffalo Salmon
I love smoked salmon. In moderation. I especially like that yummy candylike maple smoked salmon. Delicious. But I’m weird about salmon in any other way. Hence, we have a whole bag of frozen salmon filets. And, since we’re doing a pantry challenge, we need to eat them. Mr. Meaty decided he’d make buffalo salmon sort […]
Slow Cooker Dal Makhani
Slow Cooker Dal Makhani and it’s just as delicious (if not better) than the restaurant variety? Yes, please! We’re doing the War on Debt still so we’re on a restaurant moratorium. I’m missing Indian food. Even though I’ve made a few Indian dishes at home, it’s never quite the same. So I thought about what […]
Easy Paleo Curry Chicken
I big puffy heart Indian food. But, alas, with my dairy and grain-free diet, it’s a little difficult to eat out at an Indian restaurant at the moment. Plus, I’m doing this War on Debt thing so it’s not in the budget. One of our favorite easy curry chicken dishes (which we used to do […]
Paleo Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
We love soup, but our food intolerances and dislikes have made most soups difficult to share. This old fashioned paleo chicken noodle soup recipe is delicious. I didn’t used to like the actual chicken part of the soup, but it’s grown on me. If you’re gluten-free, you can use rice noodles. Skip the noodles […]
Meat Sauce over Gluten-Free Pasta
Our family holiday meal tradition is a little different. Since my sister and I both chose to be vegetarians throughout much of our youth, Mom made a mean cheese lasagna for Christmas dinner. Now, I can’t eat traditional pasta but I do eat a little more meat. So this year, for Christmas Eve dinner, we’re […]
Leftovers Minestrone VitaClay Recipe
Thanksgiving is still not over in our house. You see, when you buy a 9-pound (smallest we could find) organic, grass-fed turkey for a group of six people who don’t like turkey much, you have leftovers. Lots of leftovers. So, I preplanned. I stripped the turkey as soon as we were done, tossed the bones […]
Chicken Bone Broth
So you’ve decided to make bone broth? Start with chicken or turkey. Trust me. The beef soup bones version is great and all. But it stinks. A lot. So here’s what I do. I make a CrockPot Rotisserie Chicken from the amazing CrockPot lady. Apparently this chicken is delicious. My family loves it. A lot. This […]
Hot Slaw with Bacon
My grandparents were German (on my mom’s side). Like, fresh off the boat around the turn of the century German. So, they and their families brought some absolutely amazing recipes with them. Since both passed before I was old enough to cook much, I learned most of their recipes from a cookbook Mom passed down […]
