{Grain-Free Banana Bread}

December 21, 2012 by Joey

I hate admitting that I have missed having bread in my diet. I would love to say we were above that. That we have evolved to a higher food plane where the simple thought of bread is unfathomable, but, let’s face it folks… I would be a big, fat liar. Now, even though I have bared my soul to you, I also cannot erase the knowledge that Jake and I have gained over the years… the truth that traditional bread is […]

{Kick-Ass Pumpkin Pie}

December 11, 2012 by Joey

The name doesn’t lie. Gather your ingredients today and bake this pie as soon as possible for some delicious and immediate soul-healing gratification. I invented each of these recipes myself, and baked the pie 3 separate times before getting all the details just right. I absolutely love this recipe, and I hope that you will too! First, let’s bake the Gingerbread Pie Crust. Ingredients 1 3/4 cups Whole Pecans, ground (or 2 cups Pecan Meal) 7 Medjool Dates, pitted 2 tbsp. […]

{Pumpkin Pancakes}

December 8, 2012 by Joey

When flipping through our new copy of Practical Paleo, we couldn’t believe our good fortune. Pancakes? For real? After tasting our first batch, Jake and I agreed that this recipe alone is worth the cost of the book. And that we definitely needed to increase the batch size next time. (We’ve done so here for you!) These savory little griddle cakes are packed full of cozy spices and will ooze Autumn all over your taste buds. The texture is so smooth, they […]

{Apple Streusel Egg Muffins}

December 7, 2012 by Joey

These tasty little treats make the perfect breakfast muffin. Egg-dense, they’re packed full of protein, and the cinnamon/apple combo has them tasting just as great as they smell. This is one of two full recipes I am posting from Practical Paleo by Diane Sanfilippo. (See my full review here!) We’ve been whipping up a double batch of these every Sunday, and having them for breakfast during the work week. Try some! Ingredients 3 large Granny Smith Green Apples 9 Eggs […]

{Paleo Purgatory}

December 6, 2012 by Joey

I have only been to confession once, but after reflecting upon the last few weeks, I am considering the need to purge my sins for the second time. In prepping several new recipes to share with you, I have found vast photographic evidence that I have, in fact, committed several culinary acts that the die-hard paleo community may consider sinful. It began with good intentions. I swear! It all started with our purchase of Practical Paleo. A beautiful, informative book […]

{Citrus Pork Tenderloin}

November 19, 2012 by Joey

I’ve been on a HUGE lemon kick lately. Over the last few months, I’ve purchased lemon hand cream, lemon lip gloss, a lemon-mint scented candle, and even mixed up a lemon-flavored cocktail for guests the other night that included – wait for it – lemon sorbet. It’s a problem people. A lemon addiction. And I think I need help. Ever since trying some new citrus-based recipes, I cannot seem to get enough of their mouth-puckering, sunshine-colored flavor bursts. So what’s a girl […]

Hot, Buttered… Coffee?

March 11, 2012 by Joey

For those of you who think Jake and I are that crazy couple that stopped eating grains, sugar, and processed foods (gasp!) years ago, you’re going to think we really fell of our rocker this time. Please allow us to introduce you to our new favorite and deliciously decadent treat, Hot Buttered Coffee. Until today, we’ve been happily drinking our coffee with grass-fed heavy cream, but, based on a recent post Jake discovered by Dave Asprey (aka the Bulletproof Executive), we decided […]

{Chicken No-Noodle Soup}

January 21, 2012 by Joey

Slow cooked, one-pot meals are simply the best. Fresh ingredients, a variety of vibrant colors, and that slow-building aroma that fills the house all day long?? It’s priceless! My Chicken No-Noodle Soup is a great weekend favorite of ours. Start it in the morning, and feel free to let it simmer super low all day long (though it can be ready in as fast as about 3 hours, including prep time). Or, more my style these days – start it […]

{A-List Asparagus}

January 19, 2012 by Joey

Asparagus is a delicious, easy veggie and the fern-colored spears add a touch of elegance alongside any of your favorite proteins. I consider this little treasure of a recipe our “A-List Asparagus” because the simple addition of nutmeg and lemon elevates it to a superstar status. You could invite Robert Downey Jr. (or your A-List star of choice) over and feel proud serving this dish. I love that it’s still super easy, so as not to frazzle you while under […]

{Dutch Oven Pot Roast}

January 17, 2012 by Joey

So… our slow cooker died recently, which was indeed a tragedy, but also the perfect excuse to dust off our Dutch Oven we’d purchased awhile back. Slow-roasting something in the oven is just slightly different from using a countertop slow cooker, so I thought I’d share our favorite Dutch Oven Pot Roast recipe with you. Now you have a variety ways to cook pot roast under your belt! We discovered this recipe from the well-known Pioneer Woman. Thank you, Ree! […]
