I have a sort of love affair with breakfast and brunch... I mean, really- what other meal can be so versatile? We can go sweet -OR- savory... we can load our dish with fruit -OR- veggies... we can add bacon, sausage, ham, cheese, eggs, steak... omelettes, pancakes, chilaquiles with fresh salsa verde and a fried … Continue reading Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes- GF, DF
You guys, I don't watch a lot of TV. I don't have the time, and, by and large, most of what is on anymore is just junk. Stop watching everyone else live their lives on reality TV and YouTube and get your ass out the door and go live yours. However... there is one show … Continue reading Chocolate Cranberry Pecan Banana Bread Bars – GF, DF
When I first found out I could no longer eat gluten, it sorta-kinda felt like my world was ending. I know that is melodramatic... I really, really do. But it is the truth. After the news settled and I began to wrap my mind around all of the things I loved to eat and still … Continue reading Loaded Carne Asada Sweet Potato Fries – GF, DF
I was a late bloomer when it came to having full appreciation for ethnic foods. Really, really late. I spent the first 25-ish years of my life enjoying a very mundane and unadventurous diet. I didn't realize it at the time, of course, but as I began to explore new cuisines and venture into new … Continue reading Slow Cooker Chicken Curry – GF & DF
Both my husband and I enjoy the time we spend in the kitchen cooking for our family, and I am thankful that the kids are taking notice and becoming interested in helping and getting creative in their own ways. Our youngest, Brooklyn, brought home a flyer from school announcing a healthy cooking competition and wanted … Continue reading Chili Lime Chicken Burrito Bowls – GF, DF
This is the dinner that almost wasn't... the post that almost didn't happen because disaster ensued mid-cooking... Anyone else's kids absolutely obsessed with slime? Our girls have a serious infatuation with it. It has made its share of messes and stains and ruined countless household items, but we hit a new level of catastrophe on … Continue reading Egg Roll Bowls
I am a firm believer that you can stick just about any sort of meat in a warm corn tortilla, dress it up a bit, and the outcome is going to be delicious every time. I know a lot of people don't care for corn tortillas, but even before going gluten-free they were what I … Continue reading Oven-Roasted Chicken Fajitas
Anytime I get the opportunity to use the word "breakfast" and the word "cookie" in the same sentence, I get a little more excited than I probably should. It is no secret that I have a sweet tooth, but since overhauling my diet I have really tried to limit my intake of refined sugars. Going … Continue reading Healthy Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies 2 Ways
Some days I really dislike the technologically-driven world we live in... we are addicted to our phones and would rather spend time arguing with complete strangers over dumb political bullsh*t on Facebook than engaging our friends and family in meaningful conversation that will bring us closer together. That is a rant for a different day... … Continue reading Paleo Lemon Almond Poppyseed Muffins
You guys, it is SO COLD here right now. Wind's howling, snow's flying sideways, and by all accounts, it is just WAY TOO EARLY for this sh*t. Winter Weather Advisory in effect, with up to 8 inches of snow possible. I know I said I was excited for fall, but fall is supposed to last … Continue reading Sweet & Spicy Sloppy Baked Potatoes
