i used to buy one bag of these skinny green beans when i went to the store and inevitably ran out every time i made them. they are good enough to make a two-year-old climb across the table to steal them off my plate…true story. so i started buying TWO batches in order to accommodate…
Naturally “Not-tella” (Homemade Chocolate Hazelnut Spread)
We all love Nutella, let’s admit! But when the first ingredient is sugar and the last is vanillin (artificial vanilla flavor derived from processed wood pulp), it’s not exactly health food. I tried convincing myself it just had a few ingredients but really, I was a liar. To myself. And as much as my kids…
seared scallops with orange soy glaze
by now you know that ‘simple’ and ‘kid-approved’ are two of my magic words when it comes to what is blog-worthy. and without following a true rotation diet, i do try to alternate foods for our evening meals as to provide a variety of animal proteins and veggies. this hit the spot and kept my…
Homemade Chicken Broth
Lucky for us there are plenty of choices for organic broths these days. However, if you want to make your own, it is cost effective, simple, and much more nutrient dense. I like to make my bone broth after making this rotisserie crockpot chicken. You can freeze or use within 5-6 days refrigerated and is perfect…

And filled with so much crap i don’t even know where to begin. So my task this week was recreating that delicious (awful) meal while making it more paleo friendly…
Bacon Wrapped Sweet Potato Fries {Paleo, AIP)
This is one of those recipes which is so basic yet so dynamite! And furthermore earns a lot of brownie points with both adults and children. I love making these for appetizers for our family and also for guests. Nobody knows how crazy easy they are. Well, until now. Looks like the secret’s out! Bacon…
Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce
Crockpot Spaghetti Sauce While I am pretty sure canned tomatoes are not ‘paleo’, they are mom and crockpot friendly, and in my opinion, a necessary evil on occasion. I love this pasta sauce because after browning the meat, you literally throw everything into the crockpot and have a delicious hearty sauce after a few hours….
‘Rotisserie’ Crockpot Chicken
‘Rotisserie’ Crockpot Chicken is quite possibly the worlds easiest recipe, short of scooping almond butter onto a spoon… I believe this may be the easiest recipe ever in the universe, possibly requiring fewer steps than a PB&J. The best part is you can extend your dollar and make hearty, healing bone broth when you are done…
