Homemade Healthy Toffee Bars Recipe- Paleo, Raw Vegan, GAPS Legal, Grain Free, Gluten Free
Growing up, my mom would make these really yummy treats- cookie on the bottom, chocolate on the top, which she’d call toffee bars. I never really understood why those were called toffee bars- isn’t toffee like caramel? But either way, they were a great treat that I looked forward to having. The other day I […]
Cracklin Chicken Recipe- Grain Free, Simple, Fried Chicken
My youngest, Rose, has always been a huge fan of chicken. My second oldest, Ike, also loves chicken and always has. My oldest, Lee, and third child, Anneliese- they’ll eat chicken, but aren’t the hugest fans, and sometimes I’d have to do a little bargaining with them to get them to eat their chicken. Or […]
Making Homemade Nut Butter, Seed Butter, and Peanut Butter
Today I did something that I never thought I’d be able to do- I made homemade walnut butter! I have read many times that making homemade nut butters isn’t really so hard, you just have to stick it in your food processor and let it run, scraping down the sides. And I tried it. I […]

Having Fun With My New Spiralizer
I decided a few months ago that I wanted to do this Paleo reset, but also said that I would be more likely to be able to actually get through it if I had a spiralizer, since it would change things up and mean that I didn’t just have to eat all my veggies plain, […]
Homemade Chia Kombucha Recipe- A Refreshing, Fermented, Healing Drink
I’ll be honest, I hadn’t planned to write this post today- I had two other posts that I was working hard on writing- I wanted something other than a recipe, since it felt like my blog has been super recipe heavy and some people want other stuff, not just recipes… But you know what happens… […]
Paleo Raisin Nut Bars Recipe- Larabar Style, Vegan, Date Free
I love Larabar type bars. And so do my kids. They’re easy to make, very delicious, and allowed on all sorts of diets that are pretty restrictive. Including the 30 day Paleo reset. So I’d fully planned on making Larabar type bars for the kids… only I had no dates. That’s a problem, since they […]

Homemade Paleo Sweet Chili Sauce Recipe- No Added Sweeteners, Vegan
