Growing up in the South, collards greens were a staple in my house. I couldn’t get enough of them then and now. I’m thrilled that my daughter has followed in my footsteps and taken such a liking to them as well. Greens, greens and more greens seem to be the talk of every doctor, every…

Clean two ingredient salad dressing
I’ve seen so many homemade salad dressings with 8-10 ingredients. They all look amazing, but who has time for that if you are already cooking all the time? How about a healthy salad dressing with two ingredients that you can make in just minutes? Bonus, you don’t even have to use a blender, Magic Bullet,…
Cassava Flour Biscuits
I grew up on my mom’s homemade buttermilk biscuits. It was one of my favorite things growing up! If I close my eyes, I can picture being back in her kitchen and watching her “throw them together” as she’d often say, not even looking at a recipe. They’d taste perfect though. She used a small…
Clean alternatives to cereal for breakfast
I live in the real world. I know that no one has extra time in the morning. We are all rushing around getting ourselves ready for work, and many of us are also getting kids ready for school or daycare. We’ve been conditioned to believe that mostly everything on the grocery store shelves is relatively…
Roasted green plantains
Have you ever had green plantains? I was first introduced to plantains after starting the Paleo diet several years ago. Where had these been all of my life???? They are now a staple in our house and a family favorite. My daughter actually giggles when I tell her I’m making plantains. Plantains…
Organic Beet Noodles
Growing up I remember seeing cubed beets at a salad bar. They didn’t look appealing to me. I was never really motivated to eat them. In recent years I’ve rediscovered beets and several different ways to enjoy them other than cubed. They are now one of my favorite salad additions and a natural noodle or pasta replacement….
Break up with Plastic
Break up with plastic! Have you noticed that plastic is absolutely everywhere? Plastic may be ubiquitous in our world, but that does NOT mean it is safe. It is time to officially cut ties and break up with plastic! It is like that bad boyfriend that you know isn’t good for you, but he’s…
Sauteed organic swiss chard
Every diet out there recommends eating more greens, right? Have you ever tried swiss chard? If not you are seriously missing out!! It is full of vitamins (particularly high in Vitamin K), nutrients and antioxidants and is, of course, super low in carbohydrates and calories. It is in the same food family as beets, spinach,…
Organic Roasted Duck Fat Red Skin Potatoes
If you are anything like me, the first time I heard of a restaurant serving duck fat fries, I thought what? Eww…gross!!! I definitely enjoy eating meat; although, I am rather picky with meat which I’ll explain at a later date. I just can’t wrap my brain around EVER eating actual duck, so the oil was…
Steamed Organic Spaghetti Squash
I had a doctor recommend trying a gluten free diet to see if it would help me many years ago well before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I remember contemplating that idea. It sounded terrible, overwhelming, and so hard!!! I grew up absolutely loving spaghetti noodles, pasta and bread. Who doesn’t, right? How…
