Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions (Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan, and Whole30)

This recipe isn't so much a "recipe" as it is "another reason to love your slow cooker". It's so hands-off, it puts everything else on this website to shame. Actually, scratch that. There's a time to turn on your oven and dirty a lot of dishes and make a huge mess in the name of a seriously good slice of double chocolate zucchini bread*, or banana bread*, or a s'more* (none of these recipes actually make that much of a mess, by the way), but I'm not sure that time is a 90-degree day in ...

Chocolate Chip Cookie S’Mores (with Simple Mills)

Sorry, swimsuits everywhere. Sorry for how delicious these are. Sorry for how easy they are to make. Sorry for the mass appeal that they have. Sorry for how impossible they are to pass up, or eat only one of, or be tempted to get into a fist fight over the last one. Sorry for the crisp chocolate chip cookies and for the soft, warm, pillowy marshmallow sandwiched between them. And most of all, sorry for the thick, crispy coating of rich dark chocolate that cracks and crumbles when you bite ... Read More about Chocolate Chip Cookie S’Mores (with Simple Mills)

One-Pan Baked Brie and Beet Greens Frittata (Gluten Free and Paleo)

I know what you're thinking: Baked brie? Have I lost my mind? Nope, better! I've found - well not my mind, but that's a whole other story - goat's milk brie! Trader Joe's has had it for awhile now, but I finally got around to trying it, and it was not only delicious, the lower lactose content of goat's milk makes it much easier to digest if your stomach doesn't typically play well with dairy. So, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's turn our attention to the humble yet ... Read More about One-Pan Baked Brie and Beet Greens Frittata (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Classic Grain Free Banana Bread (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Recently, due to technical difficulties (just, you know, trivial stuff like the site not loading), I had to work some behind the scenes magic and do a minor site overhaul, which is why the site has looked different for the past week or so. Among other benefits to this change, the home page is easier to navigate, the recipe page should load faster, and - best of all - I have been reminded of the many, many forgotten recipes on this site that contain grains. Almost exactly a year ago, after ... Read More about Classic Grain Free Banana Bread (Gluten Free and Paleo)

Roasted Cauliflower with Turmeric and Mint (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Vegan)

Would you just loooooook at that gorgeous color!? That's turmeric for you, friends. Have you ever cooked with it before? Do you use it a lot? I once bought a massive bottle of it that I still have about half of- and by "once" I mean I was still living in my first apartment out of college, so this stuff has lasted through 4 kitchens, two states, a couple career changes, many forgettable boyfriends and one very memorable boyfriend who is now my husband. Thankfully, he loves spices as much as I ... Read More about Roasted Cauliflower with Turmeric and Mint (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Vegan)

Toasted Coconut Almond Butter (Gluten Free, Paleo, and Vegan)

If you haven't yet heard that making your own condiments and spreads is the easiest way to avoid chemicals, then I can only assume that you've been living in a rustic shack in the woods out of the reach of CNN, Real Simple and Pinterest, for the last several years. It seems like everywhere you look, there's some sort of guide for avoiding chemicals in your food (which I'm totally on board with), or detoxifying your body, the latter of which usually deprivation, misery and the blissful ...

Turkish Breakfast + A Taste of Istanbul

Turkish breakfast is the best reason to get out of bed in the morning! The meal consists of meats, cheeses, fruit, veggies, and a little something sweet. It's a gluten free and grain free plate that is filling, healthy, satisfying and great any time of day! Pancake lovers out there will probably hate me for this, but I think that Americans get short changed when it comes to breakfast. Yes, the entire menu at IHOP is satisfying, but only in a short-term-enjoyment, ... Read More about Turkish Breakfast + A Taste of Istanbul

Coconut, Lime and White Chocolate Milkshake (Gluten Free and Paleo)

If you ask me, those who undertake to grow an actual human inside of their bodies, not to mention forgoing sushi, wine, soft cheese, and did I mention sushi?, for nine months, deserve to be rewarded in the most decadent way possible. And believe me, this coconut, lime and white chocolate milkshake is decadent in all the right ways. It has all your standard perfect-beverage bases covered: flavor (sweet, but not terribly so, accentuated by bright lime and tropical coconut), texture (smooth as ...

Eating Well in Paris if You’re Gluten Free and Paleo

If you missed Part 1 of this series, catch up on what to eat in London here! Day 3 We arrived in Paris from London via the Eurostar train (the Chunnel) late in the afternoon and, after dropping our bags at our wonderful Air B&B apartment (<--- use that link to get $25 off of your first ...
