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….

by Leave a Comment

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….

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….

Hidden Veggie Turkey Taco Filling

by Leave a Comment

 

Mexican food is life. It’s okay to eat tacos more than just on Tuesdays.

I have an Ansestory.com DNA sitting at my desk. It’s been here for a couple of months now. My mom and brother both took it and I have been slacking. My whole life I was told I am Irish, but my love for Mexican food makes me wonder if I have some Hispanic heritage in me. Though it could be growing up in southern California. Or just that Mexican food is the literal best….

Quick and Easy Paleo Chicken Soup

by 2 Comments

My dad is the soup king. He can take whatever ingredients are around and turn them into an amazing soup. A few years ago, my sister and I were finally interested in his soup super power, so we watched and asked questions as he made his delicious chicken soup to absorb the knowledge.

A couple of weeks later, my sister told me what happened when she tried to make Dad’s soup….

Super Sneaky Veggie Spaghetti (Paleo)

by Leave a Comment

Look no further to find the perfect paleo spaghetti recipe. If you’re like me, you love spaghetti. You love the simplicity of spaghetti and the comfort of spaghetti. The problem is, the easy way to make spaghetti is to buy a jar of sauce, add some meat and top over noodles. If you are frantically trying to get your family to eat vegetables, you may find yourself desperately serving a side salad to the dismay of your toddler-who sees something green and puts a hand up to claim “I don’t like it.”…

Loaded Scrap Veggie Paleo Chili

by Leave a Comment

Some folks see a leaf and declare it to be fall and get all things pumpkin ready. Here in southern California, I see 85 degree weather in sight and declare it’s time for chili (I also love all things pumpkin). That’s where this paleo veggie chili comes in.

I love any meal that I can load with vegetables and my boys won’t know. I especially love a meal that can be made quickly in an Instant Pot even more. This chili was made one day when I was in a hurry and needed to use up a bunch of miscellaneous vegetables in the fridge….
