Acorn Squash Galette with Caramelized Onions and Thyme (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Look! I got my act together and made us a Thanksgiving recipe! Granted, it's another side dish, but who doesn't need another side dish idea the upcoming week for when you realize [insert way that things didn't go to plan this week, as it never does for anyone every year]. No worries. I totally have you covered with this acorn squash galette. It tastes so fancy! But only takes a little while to make! Rustic imperfection is part of its charm! And you get the help of appliances to make it! ... Read More about Acorn Squash Galette with Caramelized Onions and Thyme (Gluten Free and Paleo)

25 Paleo Thanksgiving Salads, Sides & Desserts

I have a confession: I've never made a turkey and I'm a little afraid to. There are too many methods to choose from and too much pressure to get it right. But salads? Sides? I'm all about those. Not to mention the desserts - but you probably already knew that. Last year I vowed that this would be the year to face my fears and learn to cook a turkey, but I guess I wasn't specific enough because the fates have me cooking a slightly different kind of turkey this year, who is due precisely ...

100 make ahead freezer meals that are paleo and gluten free! Lots of low carb and whole30 options too. Make them when you have time and stock your freezer for quick and easy future breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, and dessert!

Ask me how many I've made so far. No seriously, ask. The ... Read More about 100 Paleo-Friendly Make Ahead Freezer Meals

Sugar Free Pumpkin Spice Latte (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Vegan)

Just a handful of ingredients and a minute or two of prep and you'll have a homemade, sugar free pumpkin spice latte. PSLs are back on the menu! About 100 years ago (in blogging time, anyway), I posted a recipe for a vegan pumpkin spice latte that is still pretty good, but frankly, I much prefer this sugar free pumpkin spice latte. It's richer, thicker, and - best of all - sugar free. So, if you are on a sugar-free diet for diabetes, candida, etc, that means that pumpkin spice lattes are ...

Gluten Free and Paleo Pita Chips

Missing pita chips on a grain free diet? These grain free pita chips are quick and easy to make with homemade grain free flatbreads. I took a week off from meal planning last week and it was wonderful. But it meant a lot of grazing and impromptu meals,  many of which revolved around these grain free pita chips. Luckily, they're versatile enough to do the  job: dippable, dunkable, meltable, the works. So far, my favorite way to eat them is with babaganoush, but you can also throw some hummus ...

Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Yeast Free)

There was another post in the hopper for today but, just for kicks, I put the question out on Instagram (the question being which  would you rather see first: this bread or the post I originally had planned for this week), and you guys were adamant: grain free cinnamon raisin swirl bread takes precedence over literally anything else. The funny thing is that the funny-angled bad iPhone picture that I posted as a teaser doesn't even begin to do this bread - or the succulent river of ...

Gluten Free and Paleo Apple Hand Pies (with Simple Mills)

Will you forgive me if I potentially completely neglect the pumpkin recipes this year? There are plenty on the site to tide you over, and with every passing day I am finding my energy and waking hours at more and more of a premium and recipe testing being (temporarily!) forced further and further down the list of priorities (it. sucks.). Plus - and let's be clear: this is the real reason - when it comes to fall produce, I'll take apples over pumpkin any day. Without hesitation. S0 much so ...

Tropical Hempseed Granola (Gluten Free, Vegan, and Paleo)

So many of you have reached out to tell me about your meal planning strategies and needs (thank you! I love hearing from you!) and though I think we're getting dinner under control, and lunch usually comes easily - three cheers for leftovers! - breakfasts can be tricky. So far, the best solution I've found is to dole out a few mornings worth of yogurt (I love low fat Greek, but use whatever floats your boat, dairy or non-dairy) into individual containers and, in the morning I can grab one, pour ...
