Lacto Fermented Moroccan Carrot Salad Recipe- Paleo, Dairy Free, and Delicious
I have a love affair with Middle Eastern foods. Ok, while that’s true, I tend to love ethnic foods from all over the world, whether Mexican, Korean, Indian, or Ethiopian. But Middle Eastern food holds a special place in my heart. One of the things common in Middle Eastern food is meze, a spread of […]
Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Fruit Dip Recipe- Paleo, Sweetener Free, Vegan, Nut Free
Any moms probably already know that one of the most annoying and stressful things about kids is… that they’re ALWAYS hungry and ALWAYS want something to eat. And if that wasn’t bad enough, I’m finding that without our staple rice cakes now that we’re doing Paleo for 30 days, my kids are hungry even more […]
Homemade Pina Colada Ice Cream- Paleo, Vegan, Sweetener Free, GAPS Legal
I make desserts in my house once a week. We have a nice big dinner on the weekends, and I try to make dessert each week, just even one small thing, to make it extra special. Only now that we’re on a 30 day Paleo reset diet, it isn’t so easy, since my staples that […]
Pan Fried Zucchini Spears Recipe- Gluten Free, Grain Free, Vegan
I absolutely adore zucchini. If I had to pick my favorite vegetable in the whole wide world, there is a very good chance that I’d pick zucchini. (Ok, butternut squash, green beans, and broccoli might be tied up there with it.) The thing I love about zucchini most is that it is so versatile, can […]
Cheesy Tuna Green Bean Casserole Recipe- Paleo and GAPS Legal, Dairy Free, Egg Free
I have been making a lot with butternut squash the past few days, as butternut squash is relatively cheap now, and I can eat it as a carb on my 30 day Paleo diet. I had a few random pieces of butternut squash left over, odds and ends really, that I wanted to figure out […]
Sesame Noodles Recipe- Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free
I always loved sesame noodles growing up- my mom used to make them often in the summer- they taste amazing cold. Now that I’m gluten free, I don’t make mine like hers- I don’t use regular spaghetti, but rice vermicelli. Rice vermicelli is the cheapest gluten free pasta I can get around here, but the […]
Figuring Out The Price of Homemade Vegan Milks and Comparing Them To Store Bought- A Chart
Left to right- peanut, pistachio, walnut milk, pecan milk, almond milk. Hi there, Penny is my name and procrastination is my claim to fame. I started working on this blog post already 2 years ago and for one reason or another never got around to finishing it until today. If you’ve been a long time […]
Chilled Avocado Cucumber Soup Recipe- Vegan, Sugar Free, GAPS and Paleo Legal
Left to right- peanut, pistachio, walnut milk, pecan milk, almond milk. When I went to the farmer’s market this past week I got a bunch of really cheap produce, including a bunch of avocados from the “past prime” store. Of the bunch, there were quite a few that, frankly, needed to be used up pretty […]
Chicken Vegetable Stir Fry Recipe- Gluten Free, Refined Sugar Free
Some days my meals come out ok, some days they come out great. And sometimes they come out so amazingly well that they’d be what I’d want to order if I’d go out to a restaurant. (Of course, often restaurant food isn’t as good as homemade food, but you catch my drift.) The other day […]
Homemade Tart Crust Recipe- Gluten Free, Grain Free, Paleo, Vegan, and Refined Sugar Free
I had decided the other day that I wanted to make a tart, and bought all the ingredients to go on the tart. But do you know how many tart recipes don’t even include the recipe for the tart crust- they just say to use puff pastry? I never use puff pastry. For many reasons. […]
