[Gluten-Free] Pumpkin Coconut Oatmeal Cookies, with Chocolate Chips!

Okay. It’s fall. I’m still holding on to summer and not QUITE ready to jump in head first onto the pumpkin spice train. Soon, but not quite. I’ve been on a sugar fast. And I’ve been dating! It’s all been going really well! 😁♥️ I had to get over this thought that I had to…

African Inspired Beef Kebab

Being a foodie is a fantastic adventure. I mean, we all have to eat. We do not, however, have to eat boring. With the resources available in your local library, not to mention online, you can travel to any number of countries without leaving your kitchen. Experiment with different flavors, textures, and ingredients. Amiright? Make…

Chicken Bacon Fajitas

Because bacon?! Took myself to dinner a couple weeks back and had this amazing chicken bacon fajita salad at the bar. Made me feel a little bit crappy, but the flavors…ohmygoodness. I knew this was going to have to be something I made clean, and shared with my dear readers (that’s yous guys!). So here…

Stewed Brown Chicken

Rumor has it this is more Jamaican than jerk. And I could see why… Savory, silky smooth, full of flavor. Being based off a Caribbean recipe, one wouldn’t think “winter food!”. Still, this chicken ticks all the boxes of an amazing cold weather dinner. I mean, we’re talking about a chicken thigh tomato-based braise here….

Spiced Winter Squash Soup

Have I ever mentioned how much I love soup? Or squash? If not, I love them. A lot. This love affair was not always mutual. I tried to make squash soup for years using chicken broth. It would separate, get a little grainy, and did not have the silky mouth feel that squash soup dreams…

Tikka Tenders

Love chicken tenders? And Tikka Masala? Than man have I got something for you. We love our chicken tenders around here. Always have. Sometimes, though, I need a little something different.

Breaded Broccoli Bites

Monster Meatballs

Who doesn’t love meatballs? I mean, really…they’re just so good and so versatile! They’re also usually my go-to for potlucks, as they are highly transportable and usually more like an app than a full meal. Usually. Not these though. See, they’re called monster for a reason. That reason being they’re easily the size of a…

Date Turtle Bars

So yeah. I was in need. I just wanted it all. Sweet, salty, chocolaty and completely decadent. Ish. You know…still paleo and nothing that’s going to make me feel yucky, but still makes my eyes roll back in my head? That kind of treat. I saw a recipe on a friends blog that looked really…

The* Paleo Sloppy Joe*

Sloppy joes. You love them or hate them, according to scientific research me asking around. What’s your take? If you’re in camp A (LOVE) or at least open minded, you really ought to try this recipe! Need some coercing? Read on 🙂 I was a hater. For a long time. That sweet, thick sauce that…
