Let me start by saying that I love, no adore, Cuban food. I mean, they really know how to season their food. Last night I was really needing a change to our normal diner routine and I’ve made a beef roast that is very similar in the past and it’s delicious, but I think I …
Blueberry Scones
I haven’t made scones in a while and I’ve been wondering how they would turn out if I were to make some that we free of gluten and refined sugar. I was a little skeptical because what makes a scone so delicious is how it crumbles from the flour and the butter. I think I …
Paleo-Friendly Macaroons
My kids and I love baking. It’s fall and something about being cozy and warm by the fire makes me want to bake. We really steer clear of sweets most of the time, but every now and then it’s nice to have a sweet treat that also fits into our Paleo lifestyle. These macaroons are …
Almond Crusted Salmon
This dish totally caught me by surprise. What I mean is that I am not a big fish lover and I just always figured salmon was not something I would probably like. My mind told me that it tasted fishy…not sure why because I can’t remember ever eating or even trying it! What also surprised …
Delicious Kale Salad
Have you ever given your kale a massage? I’m serious! This is a snazzy little trick I learned from The Academy of Culinary Nutrition. Have you ever had a big bowl full of kale and wonder why people love it so much? It can be bitter and tough. Well, no longer my friend! Next time, …
Healthy Homemade Almond Milk
We have gone (mostly) dairy free in our home. I can’t remember the last time we had cow’s milk…I just can’t! We occasionally have grass-fed cheese, but that’s about it from the dairy department. I like to add a bit of almond milk to my coffee and we also use a lot of it for …
Amazing Fish Tacos!
Let me start off by saying I’m not the biggest seafood lover. I’m really trying to like fish though. I feel like there are so many health benefits and I want my kids to grow up liking it as well. I found a grocery store by our house that gets fresh, local, wild-caught fish every …
Pork Chili Verde
You guys! It’s November and I have not made my chili verde yet. It’s been chilly and we’ve totally been on a soup kick. My hubby has really been craving tortilla soup so that’s really what I’ve been making…a lot! All.different.versions. So sorry, chili verde. You deserve the best! So, today I made some homemade tomatillo …
Stuffed Bell Peppers
This is one of my easiest recipes and one of my favorite meals! I also happen to think that this is a meal that even tastes better the second day…and I love having good leftovers! The hubby loves them, the kids love them, and that makes for one happy momma. I mean, who doesn’t love …
Pork Carnitas
It’s time I start updating some of my recipes. This one is definitely a family favorite and it’s so versatile. I use it for tacos, my pork chili verde, salads, burrito bowls, and even with scrambled eggs for breakfast. Once upon a time, I was in a hurry to get dinner ready (oh wait, that’s …
