{Slow-Cooked Pepper Chicken & Cinnamon-Spiced Acorn Squash}

August 24, 2013 by Joey

We developed this slow-cook chicken recipe a few months ago, and it quickly became a new staple in our home. It’s delicious fresh out of the crock pot, and makes equally great leftovers. A true win for the working couple, or really, anyone who feels too busy to enjoy healthy, home-cooked food. The great part about slow-cooking is that it leaves your oven available for cooking additional dishes. The perfect side dish for the Pepper Chicken is a roasted Cinnamon-Spiced […]

{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 […]

{The Gold Standard of Paleo Books}

November 20, 2012 by Joey

What IS paleo, anyway? So… what do you eat? And what… don’t you eat? ….. not even quinoa? What about when you go out? Can you drink? How do you even know how to cook that? Oh my gosh – you eat BACON? And cook with BACON GREASE (gasp!)? And… you really eat that much steak too? You feed your meat… grass? What? And… you’re not worried about your cholesterol. This is good for you because… ? But, my doctor says… […]

{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 […]
