Accidental Chocolate Custard

I made a cake. A glorious, delicious, flavorful chocolate paleo cake. I was bought I had greased the pan enough, but the chunk of cake that decided to remain in the pan mockingly told me otherwise. Because this cake was for a dinner party dessert, a pivot was essential. Inspired by a holiday episode of…

Apple Cider Donut Holes

I’m always looking for small bites that I can bring to a party. Something that I don’t have to put a disclaimer on because let’s face it when people see gluten-free dairy free they think it’s also going to be flavor free. I came up with the idea of doing apple cider donut holes because…

Some Dip-itty Do for You

I love cheesy jokes. And one of my favorite cheesy cheese jokes is: “What kind of cheese is my cheese?” “Na-cho cheese!!” I mean it just never gets old – like cheese. Of course, cheesy jokes aside, cheese is not my friend. Even the dehydrated cheese, dust chemical magic of a Dorito gives me dairy…

Sweet Potato and Chorizo Stuffed Portobellos – A Best Budget Meal

Okay so it’s been a minute since I’ve written anything food related because it’s been a minute since I’ve felt like cooking. Hey, we all have our life gaps, right? I’m actually one of those annoying people that as devastated as my heart is by all things COVID-19, it has also given me the time…

Italian Wedding Soup – Cozy Paleo

It’s snowing again in Massachusetts. I’m excited about that because I’ve only run to the airport in the snow, and to me, snow means I do ALL the cooking. Of course, I’ve only been home for a day, so the cupboard is just a wee bit bare. I looked at what I had and what…

Crustless Kibbeh

I love my Walden Local Meat meat-share program so much, but being on the road so much frequently causes a back log of meat in my freezer. The next few days are dedicated to freeing up space by cooking all those things just hanging out in my freezer. Today, I made kibbeh. Kibbeh is a…

Paleo Chocolate Short”bread” Cookies

No fancy name for this recipe, I’m just calling it what it is. These super chocolate cookies are ideal for Oreo lovers. They’re also fun to make because you can use cookie cutters. Who doesn’t love playing with cookie cutters? Oh and this recipe is easy. Because that’s how I roll. Chocolate Short”bread” Cookies 1…

Paleo Party Pâté

I love food that’s impressive yet ridiculously easy to get right even when surround by, oh maybe, holiday craziness. Bonus points if it can be made in advance. Pâté fits my perfect party food criteria for these reasons. I think the hardest part is chopping the onions. Paleo Party Pâté 1 pound chicken liver 1…

Festive Paleo Pork Loin with Figgy Chutney

Everything I eat in December tastes like Christmas or I’m just plain disappointed. I’m disturbingly festive and I want festive and flavorful food. Pork loin is great for dinner parties, or to make just for a small dinner if you portion it when you buy it. This recipe even received compliments from my father, a…

Easy Holiday Game Hen

Cornish game hen is one of my favorite meals to prepare, whether for myself or for others. One of the things I love about it is I know how many to buy – one per person. That’s easy math right there. I can do it in my head. Another reason I’m into game hen is…
