• Paleo Strawberry Shortcake

  I know, I know…strawberries are not in season, but we had some in the fridge that were threatening to go bad. And since I am well known for not being able to throw food away (which is a blessing and a curse, lemme tell ya), I had to “work them up”, as my grandmother would…

• Spiced Applesauce

  Saturday is usually the day my dad comes over for dinner, but last night, we canned some applesauce instead. Well, canning was the original idea. We finished it and tasted it, and figured it wouldn’t last more than a day in the refrigerator, so using jars instead of tupperware was probably a waste of time.

• Cinnamon Breakfast Bread

  I was up at 4am again today, and it was cooooold in the house. So cold that I turned the oven on and stood next to it for a few minutes just to stop shivering. I thought I might as well bake something while the oven was on. I picked something that I could make…

• Gluten Free Biscuits

  I’m making a chicken pot pie with a biscuit top tonight, but I’ve never made gluten free biscuits. I found this recipe, and am so glad I did! I’ve copied it directly, because there are a lot of steps to take into account, and rewriting it just seemed silly.

• Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

  That pumpkin we roasted last weekend is the gift that keeps on giving. I put the seeds and some of the guts of the pumpkin in the refrigerator for a few days so I could roast them when I got around to it, which turned out to be today. I have burned more pumpkin seeds…

• Gluten Free Vegan Ginger Snaps

  No eggs, no dairy, no wheat, no soy, no refined sugar…what IS in them? This is my first time cooking with almond meal (also called almond flour.) I have seen all of these flours and thought…whatever. If it’s gluten free, what’s the difference between almond flour and my go to, rice flour? It’s like the…

• Oven Roasted Spicy Chickpeas

  Here’s whats left of the roasted chickpeas that I just took out of the oven. I would highly recommend doubling this recipe if you have more than one person in your household. Even then…

• Spicy Baked Potato Chips

  I love salt. It seems like every time I put a meal on the table, I say, “It might need salt.”, and pretty much every time I take a first bite of anything, I say, “This needs salt.” Most of the recipes I post here say “salt and pepper to taste”, because if I told…
