This recipe guys. This Paleo Butternut Squash Hummus turned out better than I could have even imaged! I had a similar dish when visiting my family in Oklahoma, and I knew immediately that I needed to make it at home. Creamy roasted butternut squash mixes with nutty tahini, garlic and a hint of lemon then…

Raw Orange-Cranberry Relish
It is Thanksgiving time!! Aka one of my most favorite times of the year!! Growing up my entire family gathered at my grandparent’s farm in the middle of nowhere Kansas. As we got older and the grandchildren started having children, our Thanksgiving meal count started to teeter toward the 30s! Making a meal for 30…
Turkey, Sweet Potato and Broccoli Soup
So it’s November… I don’t really know how to come to terms with that considering it has been in the 90s for the past month here in Arizona. With only a few weeks until Thanksgiving, I’ve been trying to finalize my meal. Since I’m staying in Arizona for Thanksgiving, it is just three guys and…
Winter Squash Casserole
Can you believe Thanksgiving is just over 2 weeks away?! I can’t believe how fast 2015 has flown by. Every year around 30 members of my extended family gather at my grandparent’s farm house in the middle of nowhere. It is a time for family, fun and lots of food! I created this winter squash…

Today marks the official last day of summer. At the stroke of midnight, fall will arrive and the pumpkin everything onslaught will reach frenzied heights!

Grain-free Traditional Stuffing
So this is traditional stuffing in the sense that it is my mom’s recipe, but this is technically dressing because I don’t cook it in my turkey. I just can’t bring myself to call it dressing because that is what you put on a salad. Stuffing is stuffing to me wether it is cooked in…

Yeah I’m so excited it is Christmas Eve! Christmas Eve is the main event at my house. We open all our presents on Christmas Eve except the things Santa brought us in our stockings. I have four very young nieces and nephews who are firm believers in Santa. I particularly liked last year when my…
Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole
When I first started eating paleo, I ate a ton of sweet potatoes. Before this I never ate sweet potatoes other than Thanksgiving. I am not sure why, but I always associated them as being sickly sweet. This probably stems from marshmallow covered sweet potato casserole. Now I cook sweet potatoes any variety of ways:…
Cranberry Pecan Brussels Sprouts
I love brussels sprouts. Seriously I could eat them every day. Sometimes I find this funny because until about two years ago I loathed brussels sprouts. You couldn’t pay me enough money to eat brussels sprouts. A couple years ago, everything changed. I didn’t realize I’d been eating them wrong. Steamed brussels sprouts are still…
Paleo Apple Butter Pecan Pie
So I posted this photo on my instagram before Thanksgiving promising the share the recipe for my apple butter pecan pie, and then I completely forgot to actually share it. I really wanted to make a pecan pie for Thanksgiving even though I have never really been a fan. I put a little twist on…
