Hey everyone! Today I'm featuring a super yummy creation that my friend (and right hand woman), Celia, introduced to me! Over the past three weeks, the hubs and I have been participating in a fast with our church, so we have had to incorporate some non-traditional eats into our everyday menu. This bacon "sandwich" has been one of our favorites! I'm not a huge bacon eater, but there is absolutely nothing quite like the crunch and flavor of a classic BLT. I was pleasantly surprised that this bread-less, pork-less entrée really did make a great substitute to one of my...

I'm going to take a little detour from our scrumptious recipe features and shed light on one of my absolute favorite subjects... natural medicine! So as most of you know, I have had the privilege of not only being Dr. Brown's patient for the last 8 years, but I've also had the opportunity to work closely with him for the past three years building our business. What I didn't realize is that I would essentially receive an education on homeopathy that most would pay top dollar for! I know there is still A LOT to learn, but I'm so...

Hey guys... So in creating the meal plans for the upcoming month, I stumbled upon the best paleo Italian dough recipe I've tried. I know a lot of people are going gluten-free or low carb for the New Year, so I thought this would be a perfect time to share it! This particular dough was super easy to make AND work with, which I have found to be pretty rare when not using any glutinous grains! This time we made simple breadsticks,  but I am eager to try it out for pizza crust as well. =) Ingredients: 1½ c almond flour 2 teaspoons pizza seasoning,...

Seriously, y'all. This recipe. Oh. Em. Gee. We have made this about 3 different times in our house in the last year, and each time I get to relive the magic of the artichoke crust and the creamy mushroom sauce. Plus, it is honestly so simple to make! Prepare this for your next date night in and your honey is sure to be impressed!!! Ingredients 2 lbs sirloin steak Artichoke Crust: 1 can artichoke hearts 1 t thyme 3 garlic cloves ¼ Cup plain goat or sheep yogurt 1 T dijon mustard ½ c almond meal 1 T coconut flour ½ t sea salt ¼ t black pepper, ground Mushroom Sauce 2 garlic...

Hey all, This chocolate cupcake recipe has been much anticipated by all my friends because it is absolutely divine. Celia and I discovered it about a year ago when I decided to serve paleo friendly desserts at my sons' joint birthday party. It was such a hit that I have made it probably a dozen more times in the past year for different events. I also found the most amazing frosting recipe as well that day, and if you are a die-hard chocolate fan like myself, you will be sure to get your fix with this chocolate-on-chocolate treat! Guiltless Chocolate Cupcake...

Hey friends, Today's post is going to be a little different because I plan to just pour my heart out and share what's on my mind in regards to where this company has been and where it is headed. {WARNING: It is long. I'm sorry.} As most of you know, this business of ours has been a HUGE endeavor for us. So much so, that it has been downright overwhelming at times, and there were moments that I really didn't think we were going to make it {which if you know me, that goes against everything in my "eternally optimistic" DNA,...

So continuing on with the paleo friendly holiday dishes... this week's featured recipe is Green Bean Casserole! I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty this recipe turned out seeing that every green bean casserole I've ever had was probably smothered in a gravy made from processed, condensed soup! This one, on the other hand, is packed with high quality fresh and wholesome ingredients that are, of course, Dr. Brown approved. Celia and I are well on our way to creating a guiltless Thanksgiving feast for you all to enjoy. Save this link to your favorites... it's definitely a keeper! Ingredients: Oven-Fried...

Now that it is November, I'm starting to experiment in making Dr. Brown approved versions of Thanksgiving classics. Today I am featuring my absolute favorite Turkey Day dish ... Cornbread Dressing!! This recipe is adapted from a family recipe passed down from my maternal grandmother. She passed away when I was a small child, so this dish has always helped me to remember her and all the wonderful memories we made as a family during this special holiday. Being that my Mammaw's cornbread dressing is my absolute favorite holiday dish, I thought it would be rather hard to come up with...

Hi friends! I've been wanting to do this blog post for several months now {ever since school started!} I'm embarrassed to admit that it has taken me this long to do it, but nonetheless, I am very excited to finally share it ... If you are like me, school mornings can be super hectic and finding the time to make the kids lunches much less make them uber healthy can be difficult! So I spent some time this week brainstorming on 5 school lunches that are completely Dr. Brown approved. So here's what's on the menu and hopefully it will inspire...

Hi everyone, I have been on a mission to incorporate more veggies into my children's diets, and I thought a great way to do that would be to make them smoothies. Celia really outdid herself with this recipe. The kids (and adults) absolutely LOVE it. So delicious and festive. Check it out... Ingredients: ¼ c pumpkin purée 1 c baby carrots 1 c coconut milk 1.5 c ice 1 T almond butter 1 T raw, unfiltered honey ¼ c unsweetened dried cranberries 1 t vanilla ½ t nutmeg ½ t cinnamon Once you have all the ingredients, I'm sure you probably already know what to do but I'll show you some pretty...

So as we head into the thick of cold and flu season with quite a few nasty viruses going around, I think now is as good as a time as ever to talk about how to boost the immune system naturally. I have been so blessed to work alongside Dr. Brown these past 3 years because I have been able to glean so much from his knowledge and expertise. This newfound wisdom coupled with my own experiences has helped me develop a regimen for wellness that appears to be working for my family as we just had our healthiest...

Hey guys! Hope everyone enjoyed all the paleo pumpkin recipes from last week or at least have them bookmarked to try in the upcoming months! We decided to stick with the sweet treat theme this week and feature paleo pecan pie bars. Celia really outdid herself with this one. They are not only delicious, but they are also the perfect dessert for children {and lazy mamas like me} because there is no need for a fork and a plate! That's my kind of pecan pie. Here are the step by step instructions below along with the link to the...
