Italian Baked Eggs (Oeufs En Cocotte)

Italian Baked Eggs -  by Against All Grain #paleo #whole30

As you know, I have been attempting a Whole30 challenge for the past few weeks. I say “attempting” because it hasn’t been a perfect journey. I’ve been very transparent on Facebook and let you know when I’ve messed up and eaten things I wasn’t supposed to. Technically, you’re supposed to start your 30 days over … Read more

With my new cookbook well under way and keeping me very busy, I’ve lined up some fellow bloggers to do guest posts for me two Saturdays a month.  My autoimmune condition is heavily fueled by stress, so in an effort to stay healthy, these friends will help relieve some of the stress and keep recipes still coming … Read more

Smoky Beef Jerky

Paleo beef jerky recipe - from Against All Grain

While a lot of children awoke on Christmas morning to stockings full of toys (or socks and underwear!), my Grandma always stuffed ours with little homemade treats. We of course got the toys and practical items like clothes when we opened the packages, but my favorite thing to find in my stocking was her homemade … Read more

Banana Nut Porridge

#Whole30 Banana Nut Breakfast Porrdige

I am in the midst of my first Whole30 challenge as a reset for the year and to overcome my slight addiction to Paleo treats. I actually make more than I eat, especially since writing my cookbook, but they are still very prevalent around this house. It’s only been a week, but I can report … Read more

Chai Tea Concentrate

Chai Tea Concentrate - Refined Sugar Free

One of my favorite things to do with my sister when we’re together is get a chai latte and walk around shopping at our outdoor mall when the weather is brisk. We bundle up and warm our bodies with the comforting spices of chai tea and reminisce about the memories it conjures up. We’ve always … Read more

Peppermint Chocolate Macaroons

Paleo Chocolate Macaroons - from Against All Grain

With a crisp outside and a chewy inside, these macaroons have a rich chocolate taste and leave just a hint of festive peppermint lingering on the tongue. As with a classic coconut macaroon, these cookies use a single egg white, beaten into a meringue, to hold them together and create a chewy texture. They come … Read more

Peppermint Marshmallow Crunch Cookies

HotChocolate-035

  I’ve made meringue cookies a handful of times and always thought they reminded me of marshmallows when they melt in your mouth, but never thought to serve them in a hot beverage until the other day when I made this dairy-free hot cocoa. As soon as they hit the hot beverage, they soften and … Read more

Hot Cocoa with Peppermint Marshmallow Cookies

HotChocolate-044-2

I’m sitting in my living room, by the light of the tree, sipping on a mug of creamy, rich hot chocolate. Something I have not done since long before I gave up refined sugar, processed foods, and most dairy. I don’t know why I never thought to make it before now. It’s so simple and … Read more
