{Lazy Applesauce two ways: Crockpot and Stovetop}

November 13, 2013 by Joey

Making homemade applesauce is so much easier than I ever thought possible. What a great realization this was after receiving a gift of a giant box of fresh Wenatchee apples from my mother-in-law a few weeks ago. There must have been 50 apples in the box, and I had no idea what I was going to do with them all. Not wanting a single apple to go bad, I began to browse the internet for applesauce recipes. Most every recipe […]

{Roasted Pumpkin Seeds}

November 12, 2013 by Joey

Roasted pumpkin seeds are SO worth the effort. While you may not love the idea of opening up a fresh pumpkin and sorting through all of that slimy pulp to pull the seeds out, the final product is warm, toasty, buttery, and salty… like popcorn, but better tasting and better for you. Ingredients 2 cups of Pumpkin Seeds, rinsed and patted dry 2 tablespoons melted Butter 2 teaspoons Sea Salt Chef’s tip: I love my pumpkin seeds with just these flavors, […]

{Sausage Apple Stuffed Pumpkin}

November 11, 2013 by Joey

Sausage Apple Stuffed Pumpkin is one of the prettiest dishes I have ever served. My only regret is that I didn’t make it for guests, as it makes for such a lovely presentation. Maybe forego the turkey this Thanksgiving, and serve this up instead? Chef’s note: This recipe moves pretty fast once you get it going, so I highly recommend measuring out and prepping all of the ingredients before you get cooking. Also, I got a little excited buttering the […]

{Grain-Free Pumpkin Chocolate-Chip Bread}

November 1, 2013 by Joey

Hi friends. I am excited to share with you a fabulous Sleep Love Eat original treat today. Wanting to create an Autumn-inspired comfort food, I tried several different versions of this grain-free bread before landing upon the perfect combination of ingredients. I even drafted an Excel document to track the difference in the recipes, and the pros and cons of each version. Yep, you heard me. Excel. It’s sexy, I know. Posted last year, our Grain-Free Banana Bread was a big hit, […]

{Fennel-Apple Salad}

October 20, 2013 by Joey

This crisp and tangy salad makes a great side dish to almost any entrée. We served ours alongside our freshly posted Spicy Scratch Chicken Soup and it was a perfect balance to the spicy flavors in the soup. Try this as-is, or alter the amounts of veggies & seasonings to suit your personal taste. Hooked on in-season apples right now? Go heavier on the apple portion of the recipe. Fennel fanatic? Add as much sliced Fennel as your heart desires. […]

{Spicy Scratch Chicken Soup}

October 14, 2013 by Joey

Making a good soup is a labour of love. It generally takes a bit of time, and you really want it to be great in the end so that it’s worth all the ingredients and your time and effort. While I still really love our Chicken No Noodle Soup recipe, I wanted to find a second soup to add to our collection, preferably something with a lime-cilantro twist. After reading about 200 recipes online, I finally stumbled across one with […]

{California Bunless Burger}

October 9, 2013 by Joey

While I think we’ve crafted the most tasty burger recipe, it’s actually quite simple. Really, burgers should be customizable to each and every individual consumer. There is only one important ingredient that truly “makes” this burger, but I will include our complete recipe just in case you’d like to try it 100% our way. Ever since we discovered this special ingredient, we seem to be quite addicted. We’ll scour the grocery store for this one item, and beg for it […]

{Nightshade-Free Guacamole}

October 8, 2013 by Joey

Previously, we posted a great homemade guacamole recipe we found online which was a delicious way for us to start incorporating avocados into our diet. Since then, we’ve made guacamole several more times and revamped it to a place we truly believe is the best guacamole ever. It has also become nightshade free for those of you avoiding nightshades :) More lime-infused, less oniony, and nightshade-free, we think you’ll want to make this a regular staple in your home. Give it […]

{Citrus Carnitas}

September 29, 2013 by Joey

There are a few different thoughts running through my head as I prepare to share this recipe. If you follow other paleo-style recipe blogs, you’ve probably already seen, fallen-in-love with, and are already addicted to this recipe. If that’s the case, apologies for redundancy, but now we have something to start a friendship over :) If you have seen this recipe, but haven’t made it, hopefully this will be the push to get you to do so. If you enjoy […]
