Berry Tart with Dairy-Free Vanilla Bean Custard
Here is festive bit of eye candy for you. And, of course, it tastes good too! I almost didn’t want to cut into it so to preserve the design. Vibrant berries are in abundance at our farmer’s markets and I just couldn’t resist buying vats of them and adding them to all of the dishes … Read more
Paleo Coconut Oil Hollandaise Sauce

Baked Chicken Strips with Honey Mustard Sauce (Paleo & SCD)
*Update: If you can tolerate eggs, I suggest substituting the olive oil for 2 beaten eggs as this helps hold the coating on better. I’ve also found that if you place a wire rack over the cookie sheet and bake the chicken strips on the rack it helps get the coating even more crispy. … Read more
SCD Grain-free Lasagna 2.0
What was once therapeutic and relaxing for me, has now become chaotic and stressful! My son is crawling everywhere, gets bored of an activity after 5 minutes, and loves to climb the stairs.

Grilled aritchokes with rémoulade dipping sauce
It’s coming to the end of the barbeque season which is a double edge sword. On one hand, I’m sad because the ease of throwing meat and veggies on the grill at the end of a long day will no longer be in my grasp. But on the other hand, Fall and Winter bring some … Read more
