We’ve been happily and successfully eating Paleo for a couple weeks now, and I have to say I just love it! Once in awhile I stray and have a cucumber sandwich on soft white bread, or I take a bite of a skillet cookie that has just come out of the oven (because come ON,…
Oh my goodness… We got more snow! I know it won’t be as exciting once February rolls around, but right now it’s pretty cool. I’m having fun creating comfort food dishes in my kitchen. I’ve made a bunch of new stuff, which has turned out amazing, but sometimes I just like to make tried and…
Last night while we were sleeping all snug in our beds, it snowed! Not a lot of snow, but a light dusting. All of the rooftops were sprinkled with the white stuff and our neighborhood, situated at the foot of a bluff, looked like a fairy tale. Smoke is puffing out of several chimneys and…
Here’s a piece of good news for my Paleo friends! Bread you can make in 5 minutes! Yes, 5 minutes! You read that correctly! Are you excited? This is so easy and delicious. Gracie spreads homemade almond butter on slices of this for her school lunches. It’s also wonderful warmed a little and served with…
When we started talking about “going Paleo” and introducing this diet into our daily routine, my main concern was BREAD. Everything else seemed doable, but NO BREAD?

Here’s a delicious breakfast indulgence that we make occasionally for a cozy, weekend meal.

The first time I heard of this gorgeous, spicy soup I was watching one of my favorite romantic comedies, Fools Rush In. There’s this scene where Isabelle (Salma Hayek) and Alex (Matthew Perry) are discussing some of their favorite foods from where they live. Alex: “Perfect would be New York and a Gray’s Papaya hot…
Happy November! We’re definitely past the peak season of Autumn here in the Mississippi river valley. The leaves have turned from a vast array of gold, crimson, orange, purple and yellow to mostly brown. Many of the trees have shed all of their leaves. We’re getting quite a mixture of cold, dreary days mixed in…
Are you ready for super delicious, flavorful and healthy tacos? These are truly unbelievable. I enjoyed similar tacos from a food truck one summer, thus the name. There are lots of components to these tacos, so at a glance it may seem like a complicated recipe. Everything comes together fast, and everyone will have fun…
Here’s a little cookie recipe I dreamed up after making Lofthouse Cookies. It’s based on the same recipe, with one very important difference. This was created for COCONUT LOVERS! I know, coconut is one of those ingredients that people either love or hate. I happen to be a very enthusiastic fan. Love love LOVE it!…
