It is that time of year to start digging into those holiday recipes. I thought I would share a healthier option for you to add into your baking line-up! These are the only paleo chocolate chip cookies that we make in our house. And I mixed up the recipe, to create a more festive one, Christmas version. I turned one of my families favorite cookie recipes into a paleo version, combined two favorite recipes into one. How can you go wrong? If you are new to paleo eating- in its purest form, the paleo diet allows you to eat only those foods that humans ate when they first roamed the planet millions ... Read More
Smashed Sweet Potatoes- My Favorite Side Dish
I don't know if shared before that Kevin is a wonderful cook and a creative one too! We both cook but he is the one to cook dinner most often.

Whatever you call it- you no longer have to miss out on stuffing this Thanksgiving! And you will know it is made with healthy, natural ingredients that won't make you feel ... Read More
Healthy Waffle Recipe- Paleo Waffles
This morning I had 4 ripe bananas sitting on the counter. I thought of waffles and Sunday. Growing up my Dad always made waffles from scratch every Sunday morning before church. He never made them from a box or frozen. The waffles he made were the kind where you whip the egg whites until they form peaks, making your waffles so light an airy. It is nostalgic to me. I still love waffles, and came up with the best paleo waffle recipe! It will keep my kids full for hours. I notice a big difference on how many they eat of these compared to a box mix. They eat less of these paleo waffles. ... Read More
