Pumpkin banana breakfast bake

I wouldn’t call this a cake, but it’s not made in a bread pan, so it’s not a loaf.  Either way, it employs the same formula that I use whenever I bake quick breads, only I used a casserole/cake pan, so call it whatever you want. I call it delicious. It’s lower carb because I used coconut and almond flour and stevia to sweeten it, but it’s still made with pumpkin and banana, which are obviously carbohydrates. 🙂  If you don’t want to go the stevia route, you could use whatever liquid sweetener you want… Read more >

Ground turkey skillet with chorizo spices

I made this up and it was amazing so I’m actually posting A RECIPE for you guys!  I’m not super sure but I think it’s paleo and Whole30, in addition to being packed with veggies. It is SO EASY.  It’s made from things you likely have on hand.  At least mostly.  I dug the meat out of the freezer this morning because I realized I wasn’t going to have time to get to the store and I needed a dinner game plan. I also had the riced cauli in the freezer, but you could swap… Read more >

Banana bake

I’ll post this now, because I promised I would, but I may edit and re-post it later if I can tweak it to make it even better. I’ve tried several versions, and they all work, but it’s just about getting it perfect at this point. Here it is fresh out of the oven, the night before… And then I warm it and nut butter it (new verb?) and dig in the next morning.  Preferably after they’ve eaten and I’ve cleaned the kitchen and I can sit in peace and tidiness. The inside is more cakey… Read more >

Oranges from my parents

Citrus season! Admittedly, not my favorite category of fruit, but I’ve managed to sell my kids on tangerine cuties, so at least they are staying semi-seasonal while they wait out the next few months until blueberries return to our menu… My parents have orange trees that go crazy this time of year, so they sent me home with some after the holidays. I remembered a sauce from a long time ago that I wanted to make again.  It’s from Chef AJ’s book and it’s super simple, but yields a very unique end product. The trick… Read more >

Winter Quinoa Bowl recipe

Guys, it’s been 4 days since we’ve returned from our Florida trip and I still haven’t been shopping. I’m pretty impressed with my ingenuity.  This is partially because we left town so rashly, I had pretty much just gone to the grocery store when we decided to go.  Woops!  Luckily I was able to throw most things in the freezer and postpone the meal plan.  But still…it’s been a project on getting crafty with pantry stuffs. This bowl is hearty and homey, but also light and clean.  The combo of pecans and beans gives it staying power and… Read more >
