Apparently in the real world I have to make things other than soup and chocolate rooted treats; major bummer for me. But these little paleo piggies in a blanket got a ‘thumbs up’ from all three littles who left but not a crumb on the plate, much to the dog’s disappointment. If you are newer…
Everything Soup
Fall and winter are synonymous with soup season as far as I am concerned. Warming, hearty, filling, and healthy – what better way to combat seasonal illnesses and hunger all in one lovely bowl! This is my everything soup which packs tons of veggies, grass fed meat, in a delicious broth. Ingredients: 1 pound ground grass…
Dairy Free Creamy Mushroom Soup
Dairy Free Creamy Mushroom Soup I have always said I would love opening a soup shop – a lunch spot with daily offerings where lovers of soup can unite and dine! I would have a set number of soups made each day and once they are served, they are gone for the day. I’d love…

If you are trying to avoid almond flour and grain based flours, these Paleo Coconut Flour Pancakes are a great alternative served…
Grain Free Meatballs + Sauce
One of my favorite go-to meals in the ‘old’ days was throwing frozen meatballs into a crockpot with grape jelly and chili sauce. Tasty. Easy. 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…
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.
