Not-A-Grain Bars (GlutenFree ‘Cereal’ Breakfast Bars)

IMG_7196_WM

Did you know the Nutri-Grain Bar slogan is “Take Care of You”? I guess Kellogs didn’t get the memo that soy, corn syrup, corn starch, and “enriched” flours are really hindering your well-being rather than “taking care of you.” I’m not usually one to bash commercial food items sold in mass amounts at grocery stores, … Read more

My best friend from high school is getting married today! My husband and I were the first to get married out of our friends (5 year anniversary in a few weeks!) so we’ve been waiting patiently for all of them to catch up and join us in this crazy married life. And then onto the … Read more

Eggs Benedict Over Savory Waffles

IMG_3618_WM

This recipe was originally seen as my guest post over at the Civilized Caveman a few weeks ago. I used to adore eggs benedict and would order it as a special treat every time we ate out for breakfast, but haven’t been able to enjoy it for so long. Now I can, and I think this rendition … Read more

Paleo Chocolate Cherry Muffins

IMG_2168

When we moved into our house 3 years ago, I would have never known how much I would appreciate the full grown cherry tree that was already established in the backyard. I look forward to the tree blooming now every year, and watch with anticipation as the little buds turn into yellow balls, then slowly … Read more

French Toast with Grilled Bananas

IMG_8105-2

Growing up, I was never much of a waffle or pancake girl. I think it may have had something to do with the chalky mixes that we always bought. I adore my grain-free pancake and waffle recipes, but I will always be a French Toast girl if I have to chose between the three. Here’s … Read more

Banana Muffins with Chocolate Chip Streusel Topping

Every once in a while I’ll buy my son a special treat from a certain coffee chain when we’re out shopping. It’s usually to keep him content in his stroller for a bit while I try clothes on, but I always try to remember to bring my own snacks from home for him. There was … Read more

Breakfast Cookies (Paleo, SCD)

Paleo Breakfast Cookies - from Against All Grain

As kids we were always told that cookies were not an acceptable meal for breakfast. I’d like to know who made up that rule, and then tell them that I’m breaking it. I let my 18 month old eat these cookies for breakfast. I figure, if they have fruit in them, then aren’t they kind … Read more

Eggs Benedict Florentine (Dairy Free, Paleo, SCD)

IMG_0471 - Version 2

I love eggs benedict. Actually, I think I may just really love the hollandaise sauce. But the combination of a poached egg, fresh spinach, and salty ham blanked in the silky sauce with a hint of lemon just makes my mouth water.  Because of my numerous failures making a hollandaise over the double boiler, this dish was solely … Read more

Paleo Chocolate Granola with Dried Berries

IMG_7508

A few months ago, after a long-travel day to my sister’s, I was thumbing through the pantry for a snack when I came across a box of granola from Whole Foods called Love Crunch.  It was chocolate and had little dark chocolate chunks and dried berries in it. I think I visited that cupboard ten … Read more
