Aunt Edna’s Lemon Creamsicle Smoothie 🍋🍦

Aunt Edna’s Lemon Creamsicle Smoothie 🍋🍦

I don’t have an Aunt Edna, but my husband does.  I was playing a little naming game for smoothies on my @brennamaywellness instagram account a while back and we came up with some creative names… not all of which I have brought to the blog.  […]

Chocolate Raspberry Nootropic Smoothie 🤎❤️

Chocolate Raspberry Nootropic Smoothie 🤎❤️

I am a sucker for chocolate & raspberry and since I have moved to slightly more paleo than keto a treat like this to break my fast is just that… a treat. It is chockers with antioxidants, healthy fats, brain boosting medicinal mushrooms and omega […]

Paleo Cream of Mushroom Soup

Paleo Cream of Mushroom Soup

This is a great soup for recipes or as a standalone.  I like it as is… but it is more attractive with a garnish or a sauce.  One day I’ll update this with a prettier photo but for now, the basics.  I love mushrooms, personally, […]

Tomato Soup

Tomato Soup

This is an easy tomato soup enriched with bone broth.  I can’t do nightshades so it is not for me, but it is one of those quick meals my family loves served up with gluten free or Einkorn grilled cheese Vegemite sandwiches.  

Kefir Cream Cheese (And Whey for Culturing)

Kefir Cream Cheese (And Whey for Culturing)

My son loves cream cheese.  When we were living in Ireland the kids were not allowed to go to school with peanut butter in their lunch, which is fair and common here as well, but it left me with a chink in my mom armor […]

Coconut Kefir Yogurt

Coconut Kefir Yogurt

This is an everyday staple for me.  It is gloriously delicious (if you like coconut) and smooth and thick as greek yogurt.  I use milk kefir grains to culture coconut milk (always BPA free, either Aroy-D or Whole Foods 365 as they work best).  It […]

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus (Cultured, Keto, Vegan)

Roasted Garlic Cauliflower Hummus (Cultured, Keto, Vegan)

Alright, my beauties.  As most of you know… cultured hummus is my thing, my jam, my baby.  I was strained to work within a particularly restrictive budget when we lived in Northern Ireland and frankly was overwhelmed and saddened by the lack of exciting food […]

Cultured Black Bean Dip (Vegan, Paleo Hacked)

Cultured Black Bean Dip (Vegan, Paleo Hacked)

This beauty is one I developed a few years back in Northern Ireland when I was struggling to get my kids to eat what I would call “good” food.  They would only eat black beans if they were somehow refried, cooked with a ham bone, […]

Cultured Green Olive Cauliflower Hummus (Keto, Vegan, AIP)

Cultured Green Olive Cauliflower Hummus (Keto, Vegan, AIP)

Hey my neighbors and friends.  It has been a while since I have posted a recipe.  That is in part because I have again begun to react to veggies, which is disheartening… but mostly because the state of our nation has been weighing heavily on […]

Cultured Cauliflower Fir Tip Hummus (Keto, Vegan)

Cultured Cauliflower Fir Tip Hummus (Keto, Vegan)

This cauliflower version of my fir tip hummus is one step further in the keto camp than my chickpea version.  I struggled with cauliflower hummus as a concept and found the flavor just too sulfuric until I realized it blended well with other elements to […]
