My kids are on a bit of a peanut butter & jelly kick (technically cashew butter and jelly). And we’re doing this pantry challenge/war on debt thing so once we ran through all the jellies in the house I decided to make some with some the fresh and frozen fruit we already had on […]
Paleo Fajitas
We love Mexican food. The whole family can eat together really easily with something like fajitas. We make a big base of fajita veggies and then, if anyone wants meat, we add that in. It makes eating with vegetarians, meat-eaters and kids really simple. This paleo fajitas recipe is our new favorite and it’s super […]
Lentil Quinoa with Curry Tomato Sauce
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 […]
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 […]
Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower
I went to a weekend conference recently in Orlando and met friends for dinner at a sort of modern Cuban tapas place called Cafe Tu Tu Tango. We ordered a couple things each and my favorite was Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower. It was fantastic. The cafe version included agave syrup and crushed almonds, but I left […]
Sweet Potato Nachos
Holy moly it’s tough to go grain and dairy free when you’re already mostly vegetarian. Like, what do you eat? Seriously. So far I’m living on fruits, vegetables and bacon. It’s not bad. Sweet potatoes are my new BFF, especially my newly crafted sweet potato nachos. I missed nachos so much I had to figure […]
Salsa Recipes: Red & Green Roasted Salsas
Salsa really isn’t hard to make. It’s just one of those things you have to tinker with until you get it right (for your family, everyone’s salsa tastes vary, methinks). And I think we’re totally there. But, then again, we like to change it up, sometimes, too. But these are our go-to quick and easy […]
Clay Pot Black Bean Soup with Sweet Peppers
Why? You might ask, would I tinker with one of our family favorite recipes and one of my post popular posts and remake our delicious, delicious Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup recipe? Well, it’s simple. I fell in love. I fell in love with my VitaClay. Today I have a fresh pot of Homemade Yogurt […]
Quitting Coffee – 5 Tips on How I Quit Coffee…Mostly
How I Quit Coffee I love coffee. I don’t just drink it because of the caffeine, though that part’s nice. I genuinely love the flavor and the ritual of coffee. It grounds me in the morning and helps me start each day with a pleasant, slow lead in to the rest of the day. I’m […]
Quick & Delicious Gluten Free Pizza!
So, sadly, Goose and I can’t eat gluten anymore. So we’ve been forced to make our own gluten-free pizza crust version at home. Trouble is, Goose is also allergic to dairy. So we really can’t do a cardboard crust. It has to be delicious particularly for Goose since it’s not topped with ooey gooey cheesiliciousness. […]
