This recipe was a hearty one-dish meal that my family enjoyed. I can't pass up the mini carnival or acorn squash when I see them at the store. They're just so darn cute. I like to use unsweetened dried cherries which I found at Trader Joe's. It can be difficult to find dried cherries without sunflower or safflower oil and added sugar. To bring a little burst of sweetness to them, I like to soak ...

Apple Pie Pots (AIP, Paleo, grain-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free)
Desserts can be a little tricky when you have food restrictions. Back in the day, I used to LOVE a good apple (or cherry) pie with a rich, flaky crust. Apple crisp was another favorite of mine (I heart all things oatmeal). Unfortunately, since going AIP, I haven't had success coming up with a typical apple pie or crust recipe. ENTER - TIGERNUTS. Tigernuts are not actually a nut, but a tuber ...
Grain Free Chocolate Torte with Dairy Free Chocolate Mousse and Salted Pecans (Paleo)
I've been on a mission to make a deliciously moist, grain free chocolate cake for some time, specifically for my older daughter's birthday.

You would think I'd be concerned about serving a cake I ...
Mini Lemon “Cheesecake” with Gingered Date Crust (AIP, Paleo, GAPS, SCD, nut free, dairy free, refined sugar free)
Every once in awhile, things just come together in my universe. By this, I mean a craving for some long lost food I've become allergic to actually gets satisfied by a recipe developed with substitutions and much modification. Honestly, there's no formula for this and, quite frankly, it doesn't always work. For instance, in my book, there's no such thing as an AIP (Autoimmune Paleo a/k/a ...
Baked Pears with Cinnamon and Bacon (refined sugar free, AIP, Paleo, SCD, GAPS)
This recipe is going to sound, well, weird. But let me tell you...it's goooooood. My son kept saying, "Mom, pears and bacon? Are you sure you know what you're doing?" I have one. Simple. Answer. "Get away kid - ya bothuh me." He ate his words, don't worry - along with lots and lots of baked pears with bacon. Mommy bliss. Shared on Allergy Free Wednesdays... FOLLOW 30 PLUS DAYS ...
