Since I was little, I can remember my mom canning goods from jellies to apple butter and vegetables to salsa. Even my birth was planned around my mom picking up her canning goodies from…

Paleo Pear Honey
Shockingly this Paleo Pear Honey doesn’t actually have any honey in it! I am not 100% where this dish got its name, but my family always called it pear honey. I guess it is more like a jam or jelly than honey. To make it paleo, I ditched the cups of refined sugar in favor…
Paleo Pumpkin Spice Blend
OMG another pumpkin spice recipe! Yes it is another pumpkin spice recipe, but hear me out. This is my mom’s famous (well famous to me) Pumpkin Spice Blend. It is the blend I use for all of my fall recipes, and I love it. I love the mix of cinnamon with nutmeg, ginger, all spice…
Poached Pear and Prosciutto Salad
I’m obsessed with this Poached Pear and Prosciutto Salad! One of my favorite local restaurants features a similar salad this winter, and I knew I needed to recreate it at home. I wanted to see if I could poach pears in fruit juice instead of wine, and I loved the results. The tart cranberry juice…
Spicy Romesco Sauce
It is getting so hot this summer, and it isn’t even technically summer yet. Since getting back from the beach, I’ve been having my own little summer staycation by the pool. I don’t work most Fridays, and it is the perfect time to lounge by the pool, read a book and just relax close to…
Bourbon Clove Applesauce
So I am going to say it… it is freezing out! Freezing. It was 70 degrees in Oklahoma last week. Yesterday I woke up and my weather app read “feels like 10 degrees.” I am not okay with this. I love fall. It was one of the things I absolutely missed when I lived in…
Dairy-free Veggie Dip
Better late than never. I had all intention of putting this recipe up yesterday, but then life happened and rain happened. Did you know taking pictures when it is raining is the worst? I am considering buying some lights so rain can’t derail my photo days, but I don’t even know where to start. I…
Balsamic Ginger Steak Salad
So Meaty Monday snuck up on my this week! This weekend I planned to cook a lot but got caught up with my nieces and nephew’s birthdays. Sometimes life is more important than cooking. I have 4 nieces and a nephew and three of their birthdays are in July. It makes for a busy July…
Tomatillo Ranch Chicken
It’s Meaty Monday once again! I hope it makes your Monday a little less painful. I spent the weekend cooking up some recipe for the Fourth of July. The Fourth is one of my favorite holidays. I love fireworks. My love stems back to my childhood when my cul-de-sac used to buy a huge thing…
Tangy Tomato Glazed Meatloaf
Five years ago if you told me I would be cooking meatloaf, I would have laughed. Meatloaf was one of those strange foods from my childhood that I never understood. Eating meat in the shape of bread never appealed to me. Last year I made my very first meatloaf, and it was kind of a…
Chili Garlic Sauce
I love condiments. Ok that is not completely true. Let me revise. I love hot sauce! All hot sauces: tapatio, tobasco, cholula, sriracha, franks and of course chili garlic sauce. I have all of these in my pantry at all times. I realize many of these aren’t technically 100% paleo, but I am not ready…
