30 Minute Pho (Gluten Free, an Adaptable for Whole30 and Paleo/Low-Carb)

Pho is an a ubiquitous Vietnamese soup that consists of noodles, meat and some veggies and herbs in a rich, aromatic broth. My 30 minute gluten free pho is a lower-effort version that is easy to make at home! I know what you're thinking: soup in July? Well, the combination of unseasonably cool weather and brutal summer colds a couple of weeks ago pretty much made it seem like the only option was soup. Everyone has their stuffy nose/flannel pants comfort food, and mine is pho. I love ... Read More about 30 Minute Pho (Gluten Free, an Adaptable for Whole30 and Paleo/Low-Carb)

The Ultimate Paleo Cakey Brownie Recipe

It's the Ultimate Paleo Cakey Brownie recipe for all you cakey brownie lovers, but this rich and decadent recipe is beloved by fudgy brownie lovers too. In short, this recipe is a keeper!

Dress up your zucchini noodles with roasted tomatoes, ricotta, lemon and tarragon for a quick and easy dinner that's healthy and low carb/gluten free! I am finally home from Custer, South Dakota which, despite my reticence, actually shaped up to be a nice place to spend the week: nice weather, beautiful views, a minimum of hiking, and quiet. It was so quiet. Not just outside - which, except for the chatter of various birds and frogs (maybe?) throughout the day and night, it was - but inside ...

Guacamole in the Food Processor (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Whole30)

This easy from scratch guacamole is can be made in minutes using your food processor! This recipe is an another old one (as in: it's been on the site before, but is now new and improved!), but does good guacamole that takes literally no - ok very little - effort ever really go out of style? Nope, it doesn't and especially not when summer picnic season is at its height. ... Read More about Guacamole in the Food Processor (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Whole30)

Paleo Orange Creamsicles

These paleo orange creamsicles use real orange juice to recreate a dairy free and naturally sweetened version of the childhood favorite! It's another one-post week, guys. I have had family visiting 3 weeks in a row now, which means less time for cooking and more excuses to go out for meals and sometimes that's just... necessary. The weather is warming up and the sun is gracing us with its presence on a semi-regular basis, so who wants to be in the kitchen non stop? Who wants to crank ...

Chocolate Sunflower Seed Butter (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Low Carb)

Chocolate sunflower seed butter is a nut-free version of Nutella! This homemade version is completely sugar free, gluten free and dairy free. Peanut butter and jelly should probably watch its back because as far as Best Nut/Seed Butter and Fruit Flavor combinations go, chocolate sunflower seed butter and apple slices give it a serious run for its money. Does that sentence not make much sense to you? Ok, no problem: just go make a batch of this sunflower seed butter, then dip an apple ...
