family comfort foods
green apple pecan galette filling I watch Food Network or Cooking Channel a lot…like if you showed up at my home one of those channels would most likely be on! I rarely sit and watch any show, the TV is just typically on while I’m doing other things in […]
sunbutter pecan fat bombs I made some toasted sunbutter the other day, oh ya, homemade is best by far! It takes time and a hearty food processor or one of those amazing blenders, but the results are creamy deliciousness! It’s my new favorite nut butter, although…I haven’t tried making macadamia […]
green apple pecan chia seed breakfast pudding This is a great breakfast during the 21 Day Sugar Detox (click here for info) when you just maybe want something a bit brighter to eat! Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE eggs and bacon and veggies quite a bit for breakfast, or […]
cocoa almond smoothie For all those chocolate lovers (like myself) that feel a sense of “chocolate” loss while doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox, this smoothie is for you…errr us! It hit’s the ol’ chocolate craving to a tee and since it’s loaded with all sorts of good fats, can […]

We’re starting the 21dsd (21 Day Sugar Detox by Diane Sanfilippo click for all the info) on Monday the 4th, so we’re all about prepping snacks so we can be prepared and ready to go. We did this detox last year, and the beginning of the 2nd week, Makenna actually had […]
This is a spice blend I came up with many years ago while trying to create a marinade/rub for meats we wanted to grill and then use on top of salads. We use it as a dry rub on steaks, pork, chicken and even on shrimp but also use it […]
lemon meringue pie Here’s the deal with Lemon Meringue Pie…it’s probably our favorite overall! At least as a collective family that is, we all each have our favorite kind, but ALL of us love this one! It’s a classic and we often will have it for breakfast the day […]
paleo pie crust This has literally been a labor of love. I learned how to make pie crust from my mother at a very young age. Every Thanksgiving she made TONS of pie…and given all that she had to get done for the rest of the meal, I remember at […]
