Skillet Chicken and Gravy

March 27, 2020 by Jen Leave a Comment

This skillet chicken and gravy is a one pan, buttery, moist, full of flavor chicken, slathered in a delicious gravy to make the perfect comfort meal.

There are some meals that become instant family favorites. Some that are super easy and come together with little work. This skillet chicken and gravy is all the things. Every time it’s made, I hear bold declarations like “Why don’t we eat this once a week?” and “Mommy, this is the best chicken ever. I only like this chicken.” This is just one of those comfort meals, perfect for dinner any time of year.

Skillet chicken and gravy is a rich meal without much effort. With a buttery flavor from the ghee and just a hint of tangy lemon, this chicken and gravy will appease even the toughest critics. In our house, we eat the chicken and gravy over regular rice most often, but is also delicious over baked (yellow) sweet potatoes for a paleo compliant meal….

If your kids are like mine, they turn their noses up at vegetables. Every chance I get, I sneak veggies to them without their knowledge. My favorite, most liked way to do that is with a smoothie. This strawberry orange smoothie recipe (much like all smoothie recipes on this site) came to me during hot dog dinner night. I needed something as a quick side dish that would be received with happiness….

A dairy free cheeseburger macaroni that’s creamy, cheesy, gluten free, nightshade free and secretly loaded with vegetables, the whole family will love and ask for all the time.

This dairy free cheeseburger macaroni is surprisingly authentic to the real thing. It is cheesy and not too spicy (but still a little spicy) without dairy or nightshades. Before being free of gluten, dairy and nightshades, we really enjoyed this cheeseburger macaroni recipe. It was so simple and easy to throw together. This dairy free cheeseburger macaroni recipe is also fast and simple. The longest part of the process is making the butternut cheese sauce, which actually only takes 20 minutes and can be prepped up to a few days in advance….

The simplicity of pouring a bowl of cereal in the morning for a quick breakfast goes out the window when you are following a paleo diet. You can buy pre-made granolas at a specialty store, but they are usually expensive and honestly, not that great. This almond pulp granola recipe has a sweet vanilla-y taste and comes together with something you would normally throw away….

Paleo Pumpkin Spice Muffins

September 26, 2018 by Jen Leave a Comment

Here in southern California, getting into the fall spirit isn’t when you see leaves falling. That’s not a thing here (and it’s one of the things I miss most about living on the east coast). When it goes from over 100 degrees everyday to the mid 90s, that’s when fall is approaching. And what’s better than pumpkin in the fall? Nothing. There is nothing better than pumpkin. …

Paleo Sloppy Joe Sliders

August 29, 2018 by Jen Leave a Comment

Every two years, my giant family gets together in Minnesota for a family reunion. It’s an awesome weekend and full of foods that I grew up eating and I’m always inspired to recreate those foods.

Two years ago, my cousin blew my mind on Sloppy Joe night when she and grabbed a handful of plain potato chips, added them to her Sloppy Joe sandwich and said “I just can’t eat a Sloppy Joe without the chips inside.” Obviously I copied her. She’s older and way cooler than me. Apparently I have been living under a rock to not know that trick. It was delicious….

With football season just around the corner, I am trying to prepare myself for all the junk food cravings that come with that. I grew up watching football with my dad. And when I went to college, I didn’t stop loving football. I carried on the football watching spirit with my best friends and indulged in all the game day food.

It’s hard to pick a favorite junky game day treat, but at the top of the list is queso dip. I mean, the name itself means cheese dip. You can’t go wrong with cheese or dip….
