Caramel Glazed Doughnuts (nut-free)
I grew up in a house where even the throw blankets and flags were swapped out in celebration of a pending holiday. We had a special plate that we got when it was our birthday, and boxes upon boxes of Christmas decorations that would take multiple days to set up and take down. It … Read more
Asparagus Benedict
You guys, this book writing process is so crazy! I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I signed on, but absolutely have no regrets and am already crazy enough myself to be planning the next one! You probably saw my post the other day on Facebook that the book was … Read more
Enchilada Stuffed Peppers with Chile Verde Sauce
I just spent the last hour chatting it up with Diane Sanfilippo, author of Practical Paleo, for the recording of this week’s Balanced Bites podcast.

Baked Eggs with Bacon, Greens,and Hollandaise
You may remember my last baked eggs recipe with sausage and a cheesy (but cheeseless) tomato sauce.
