Eva’s Fudge Surprise Cake (Keto)

Eva’s Fudge Surprise Cake (Keto)

My daughter Eva and I adapted one of my mom’s family recipes a couple of years ago and I’ve never posted it! But in honor of Eva’s Birthday this week as well as her serious baking skills for a ten year old… we are sharing […]

Vanilla Chocolate Chip Almond Scones

Vanilla Chocolate Chip Almond Scones

This is a kid favorite (and mom fave, I’ll admit!) easy keto bake! It’s so quick and you can make it paleo/dairy free simply by substituting butter for coconut or avocado oil. Although for those I recommend using 1/4 cup. I tend to favor the […]

White Chicken Chili

White Chicken Chili

This hearty White Chicken Chili is warming, creamy and comforting. This is perfect for Fall and a family favorite. I use Manchego because it is an A2 dairy sheep cheese, which is less inflammatory and frankly I can eat it. But for all of you […]

Heather’s Lemon Blueberry Scones (Keto)

Heather’s Lemon Blueberry Scones (Keto)

This recipe is one of my favorites and adapted from my lovely friend Heather’s recipe. It’s so quick and easy to make that I usually make a batch a week. My youngest detests lemon though so sometimes I will leave out the zest and put […]

Heather’s Immunity Drink

Heather’s Immunity Drink

We were a fairly sick household in February.  I say fairly because it was not all at once but one at a time… thank you suppressed immune system… When I finally fell to a cold my lovely friend Heather delivered the ingredients for her amazing […]

Paleo Beef & Pepper Hand Pie

Paleo Beef & Pepper Hand Pie

Every time I have been pregnant I have craved Meat Pies.  It has been years since I have made it though, due to my healing journey… which, I have to say, must have worked well because I am pregnant again in my 40’s! 😂 I […]

Eating nose to tail might not be your definition of fun, but with some amazing hacks and tricks, it can be so delicious that even the hubs and suspicious children will gobble it up. Incorporating organ meats (offal) into recipes is incredibly nourishing, hormone balancing […]

Hazelnut Sourdough Bread (Keto, Paleo, Gluten-Free)

Hazelnut Sourdough Bread (Keto, Paleo, Gluten-Free)

Oh my word how I miss bread at times.  I’m about to embark on another autoimmune reset in the form of the Carnivore Diet for a few weeks (it’ll be progressive moving toward AIP so not so strict) because I need, I most certainly need […]

Sourdough Cassava Pancakes

Sourdough Cassava Pancakes

It has been a long run of sitting out on our Pancake Saturday watching my family eat and enjoy a pancake recipe that took me years to adapt and perfect.  When I had my Hashimoto’s diagnosis, grains were out… even beneficial grains like einkorn.   […]

Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

Instant Pot Shredded Chicken

This I feel goes without saying, but meal prep really helps during the week… and who doesn’t love shredded chicken?  I do a roast chicken most Sundays for dinner, but the kids prefer it shredded to put in tacos and lettuce boats.  It’s simply smart […]
