Peach Blueberry Crumble (Dairy, Egg, & Gluten Free)

Peach Blueberry Crumble (Dairy, Egg, & Gluten Free)

Peaches and blueberries. They’re so hot right now in the German farmers markets! I’ve pretty much made it a subconscious goal to eat peaches and blueberries daily. Carpe seasonal fruit, right? They also go together like peas and carrots in the dessert world, as I...

Gingerbread Spice Cookies (Dairy & Gluten Free)

Gingerbread Spice Cookies (Dairy & Gluten Free)

Last week, in search of a delicious way to make gingerbread cookies sans wheat flour, these bad boys were inspired by a recipe from  The Food Lovers' Primal Palate.  They are DANGEROUS, let me warn you, and SO moist. Even freezing and serving them at a later date has...

Banana Date Muffins (Dairy & Gluten Free)

Banana Date Muffins (Dairy & Gluten Free)

I was struck with another bought of creativity in the kitchen this week, plus a request for easy pre- and post-workout snacks from Kyle, so I went with it! With some dates in the cupboard and a few aging bananas, I whipped up a batch of these deliciously sweet goods....

Honey Nut Cookies (Dairy & Gluten Free)

Honey Nut Cookies (Dairy & Gluten Free)

This past weekend was a rainy one, and despite it being summer, I felt the need to bust out some comfort food in the kitchen! I opened the cupboards and saw minimal ingredients to work with... except for a bag of enticing cashews. Cashews, or "shews" as I call them...

22 “Healthified” Thanksgiving Recipes

22 “Healthified” Thanksgiving Recipes

So, I think I made a mistake. A 22-pound mistake. Yes, for the first time, my husband and I are hosting Thanksgiving. And for the first time, I was able to order a FRESH, local turkey from a nearby farm. At the time, I was SO geeked to have the chance to buy such a...

Is it SERIOUSLY already November? Before we even know it, the coming holiday rush of 6 weeks (yes, 6 weeks with Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years!) will be upon us like Superstorm Sandy. And I'm not sure about you, but I get semi-anxious thinking about the...

Chicken & Veggie “Fried Rice”

Chicken & Veggie “Fried Rice”

Love Your Liver & Eat It, Too

Love Your Liver & Eat It, Too

The first time I tried liver four months ago, I failed. After reading up on the super power benefits of liver, I couldn’t not try this old-school organ. So, I purchased a massive beef liver from our local farmers market, and fried it up in bacon grease and onions,...

8 Ways to Tailgate Without Packing on the Pounds

It's going on six years since I've returned to my alma mater for a tailgate and a football game, but today is the day!! I have flashbacks from college, and the crisp fall days, manic student cheering section, "kegs 'n eggs" and booze, (which I could hardly ever...

Just last weekend, my husband, our friends and I were mowing on this exact recipe on a 90 degree + day. Who doesn't love guac on a hot summer day!? With an empty bowl and recipe requests, I promised to pass along my concoction of creamy, buttery, citrus-y (is that...
