Paleo Chocolate Pudding
Since I’m nursing I’m pretty much ALWAYS hungry. If I’m not eating then I’m thinking about eating…and if I’m not thinking bout eating then I’m thinking about what to make TO eat! Ha! Needless to say I LOVE me some food and I really enjoy creating new healthy food options. It is such a blessing to eat something that totally HIGH fat with zero regret. Why? Because we’re talking about good fat here, quality fat. And it’s so super important especially when you’re nursing a wee one. Food is fun! Just eat the good stuff people!! No trans fat, HFCS, […]
Chia Seed Breakfast Pudding
Who says that breakfast has to always be cereal or eggs?? Breakfast is one of my favorite meals of the day and I always enjoy making breakfast bowls for my family. They are quick and easy to prepare and can be done the night before. You can always mix it up depending on the fruit that is in season. Chia seeds soaked the night before in the almond milk also make a nice pudding consistency…the longer you soak them the more thick it becomes. There are also many health benefits to incorporating chia seeds into your diet (weight loss, omega […]
Almond Cinnamon Sweetbread
Almond meal out the wahzoo around here! If you make your own almond milk then you know what I mean. I will try to use it in crackers or cookies…mostly cookies 🙂 But I have decided to try to use it in any recipe calling for almond flour and just do half almond pulp and half almond flour depending on what the recipe calls for. So my first attempt was with a recipe adapted from Elana’s Pantry for a paleo breakfast bread. . It turned out perfect! We ate it all up, and it was delicious! So here is the […]
Vanilla Ice Cream
You’ve gotten love some ice cream especially in the summertime when it’s nice and toasty outside. Ice cream makes me happy. And my ice cream maker makes me real happy. If you don’t have an ice cream maker ask for one for your birthday. It is such a treat and Iclick here It is so stinkin’ easy to whip this up, pour it in the ice cream maker and take a walk (this will make you feel better before you eat 2 bowls) and when you come home, viola! It’s ready! I’m sure I’ll be posting lots of ice cream […]
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have made these 3 times in the past 3 days, and I have to confess, I’ve only shared a few…um, ya, they are kinda addictive! I used chocolate chips once and cacao chips the other times. I like them both ways. I also think they would be extra delicious crumbled atop of some homemade ice vanilla ice cream…ooohhh, that sounds nice. I’ll try it out for ya 🙂 Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
Fruit Dip
I’m still loving my strawberries so of course I use them to dip in this delicious dip, but you can use whatever strikes your fancy 🙂 This is easy peasy to make and will be a nice after dinner treat. It also makes a nice dish to take to a potluck with some fresh fruit. I hope you love it! Fruit Dip
Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie + Popsicles
Love me some smoothies and popsicles when it’s hot outside. And whew! It’s HOT already! The great thing about these bad boys is that all you need to do is make a little extra smoothie and then pour it into your popsicle mold. I have some similar to these: click here. But these also look pretty fun: Click here. I literally throw everything but the kitchen sink in my smoothies but here is a simple sweet recipe for you 🙂 Chocolate Covered Strawberry Smoothie
Mushroom and Asparagus Quiche (Dairy and Grain Free)
This can be whipped up in a jiffy. We often eat it for dinner with salad and a smoothie. Also, you don’t have to use asparagus and mushrooms- although the asparagus is mighty delicious and readily available at the farmers market. You can sub an veggie that works for you. I have done it with broccoli and onions and it is equally as delicious! Mushroom and Asparagus Quiche
MEATLOAF!
Who doesn’t love some good ‘ole meatloaf?? This recipe has been a staple in our house for a while now and even though it makes a lot we hardly ever have to much left over for lunch….thanks to my hungry boys. Please pray for me when Jude becomes a teenager! Here is the proof below, a happy Jude, happy belly and a happy plate 🙂 Meatloaf
Yummy in my Tummy Granola
Wahoo! I LOVE yogurt but gave it up when I eliminated dairy from my diet. But then I found coconut milk yogurt at ONF, and I fell back in love with eating yogurt for breakfast. The downside is that it is a bit pricey… So for every will there is a way! I came across a delicious yogurt recipe on the spunky coconut blog- I just love her and all her recipes, so I wanted to share the link with you to make your own yogurt…if you choose…otherwise buy it at the store and make your own granola!! Granola is […]
