Follow me Here is a rundown on my favorite kitchen tools. Eating real food means cooking from scratch, so there is obviously more food prep to do! These tools make life so much easier! These products are all products I have used myself unless it is no longer available. I’m showing the best price I […]
Follow me I love chocolate, and so does my whole family. One day I was about to make my kids some grain free waffles, and I thought to myself, “Self, why on earth have you not ever made these with chocolate?” A little while later, we were eating grain free, dairy free chocolate brownie waffles! […]
Follow me My family loves beef jerky, but the good quality stuff is really expensive! I also want my jerky to be free of soy, gluten and sugar, plus I prefer meat that is organic and grass fed. So, I looked for recipes to make my own. Not a problem, but I found it to […]
Follow me My family has been eating a Paleo-ish diet for 6-8 years now and I have purchased, won, and borrowed quite a few cookbooks. They run the gamut of simple meat and veggie recipes that are naturally paleo to grain free baking books that try to replicate junk food favorites! There are a lot […]
Follow me These gooey, caramelly treats are grain free, refined sugar free, and best of all—no cooking required! Dates are the secret ingredient for creating the two layers of caramel, one caramel and one fudge, on top of a chocolate cookie crust!

Follow me We don’t always think about it, but foods that are healthy for our bodies are also good for our brain! That means eating a nutrient-dense diet of real, whole foods will benefit both your body and your mind. Taking care of your brain as you would the rest of your body can help […]
Follow me There are a lot of really good grain free pancake recipes out there, and my family loves them all! But what I like about this particular recipe is not only are they low carb/keto, they cook and taste very much like whole wheat pancakes! They cook up faster than almond flour-based recipes, and […]
Follow me So I bought a ten-pound bag of carrots at Costco. They were a good price so I figured I would come up with some new ways to eat carrots—they are so versatile. But that’s a lot of carrots! I had to come up with a few recipes, and this is one that went […]
Follow me I am currently experimenting with a dairy free diet. I’m trying it because I have noticed occasional digestive issues after eating cheese, and also seem to get a couple pimples (nothing extreme) after consuming dairy (I think), so I wanted to get to the bottom of it. I know I’m not lactose intolerant, […]
