Dairy Free Strawberry Orange Green Smoothie

March 25, 2020 by Jen Leave a Comment

A dairy free strawberry orange green smoothie perfect for breakfast on the go or a sneaky veggie infused side dish for kids at meal time.

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….

Quick Nightshade Free Guacamole

March 23, 2020 by Jen Leave a Comment

This quick nightshade free guacamole comes together fast and gives your tacos the right dose of fat and spice. It’s the perfect cheese substitute in tacos and enchiladas.

Without tolerating dairy, I’ve leaned on avocados as the fatty sub for cheese when eating tacos (basically daily) and salads. Adding guacamole to tacos adds a necessary element of flavor. Having a nightshade free guacamole you can throw together quickly makes eating tacos on a nightshade and dairy free diet much more bearable….

Butternut Squash Cheese Sauce

October 21, 2019 by Jen Leave a Comment

This vegan paleo butternut squash cheese sauce is nightshade free and made with a few simple ingredients so it comes together quickly and can be used throughout the week.

Cheese has stolen the hearts of many. Most people can’t fathom a life without cheese. This butternut squash cheese sauce was created for two reasons. 1. For a dairy free cheeseburger macaroni (recipe coming soon!) and 2. As a cheesy sauce to slather on things. Turns out, I also really like to add it to some rice pasta with some roasted broccoli (upgraded mac and cheese) or mix with some shredded chicken and add to a vegan cauliflower tortilla for a quick snack….

Creamy Homemade Almond Milk

April 24, 2019 by Jen Leave a Comment

This creamy homemade almond milk doubles as a coffee creamer and is perfect as over cereal for busy mornings.

Have you ever tried adding the boxed almond milk to your morning coffee? It leaves the strangest taste in your mouth and ruins the best part of the wake up routine. Years ago, I realized this isn’t the case with homemade almond milk. It tastes delicious in coffee and over some homemade paleo granola….

Egg Free Mayo

April 17, 2019 by Jen Leave a Comment

A simple make at home creamy vegan mayo that uses clean ingredients and tastes delicious on everything.

Do you say mayo or mayonnaise? Either way, everyone needs a cleaner mayo recipe. Mayonnaise can be used in many recipes, such your favorite chicken salad or this tuna salad recipe. Many of us who are avoiding eggs have a tough time finding an egg free mayonnaise that isn’t made with canola oil and preservatives. This vegan mayonnaise recipe is free of soy and canola oil and is gluten and dairy free….

A chicken bone broth is a staple in any cook’s kitchen. This whole chicken bone broth recipe is a flavorful addition to any recipe and is a wonderful base for soups.

This whole chicken bone broth recipe can be made in a slow cooker, pressure cooker or even on the stove top (though I have a tendency to set and forget and a paranoia about burning the house down). It’s a healthy chicken bone broth recipe with gut healing properties and numerous health benefits.

Chicken bone broth benefits

Homemade bone broth contains amino acids and collagen, which can help repair the gut, fight inflammation and help protect your joints (more on bone broth benefits). You have heard that chicken soup can cure anything. Well that’s because of the properties of bone broth….

Date Sweetened Caramel Latte Coffee Creamer

October 3, 2018 by Jen 4 Comments

There’s something about the fall that just goes with caramel. And of course pumpkin. But since last week was all about pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin spice muffins, today is about caramel vibes.

Most mornings I enjoy just cashew milk in my coffee and prefer something simple and not sweet. But in the fall, I am always looking for a paleo coffee creamer that gives me all the fall feels. Today I bring you a quick and easy caramel latte. …
