Blueberry Coffee Cake (Primal and Paleo Friendly)
It’s blueberry season here in South Carolina and I was excited to see blueberries in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box this week. I was looking for a good recipe that I could eat for breakfast so I decided to make a coffee cake, which was the perfect vehicle for my fresh blueberries. Don’t worry,…
What I Made With My CSA Veggies: Week 3
Last week was Week 3 of participating in a Community Supported Agriculture, or CSA. A CSA allows a group of people to buy a share of the farms expenses and in return you get a weekly, in my case, box of the farm’s harvest. A CSA is the best way to get a variety of…
Homemade Basil Marinara Sauce
When I first saw that basil was in my CSA box this week my first thought was pesto. I had just made Arugula Pesto and still had some leftover so I needed to make something different. The smell of the basil was so fragrant and powerful! It reminded me of a big bowl of spaghetti. …
Almond Butter Coconut Cookies (Low Carb and Paleo)
It’s always nice to have an easy cookie recipe. One of my go-to cookie recipes to make is Chocolate Dipped Almond Butter Cookies. One request I get a lot is from people wanting to substitute liquid sweeteners, such as Stevia, in the cookies instead of using Swerve. The problem with that is the Swerve adds…

Flourless Paleo Brownies with a Special Ingredient (Low Carb)
So lately my recipes have been centered around my CSA veggie box each week, which means lots of savory dishes to share with you guys. Last week I found myself with a lot of yellow squash (or Crookneck squash) and as much as I was enjoying my squash noodles I wanted to make something sweet….
Marinated Golden Beets and Why Beets are Good Carbs
Ok, so apparently I’m not a beet expert. I had high hopes of making Red Velvet Brownies using the beets that were in my CSA box this week. Those ruby red beets were going to give my brownies the red color they famously have. So to prepare the beets, I needed to roast them first….
Coconut Chips Two Ways and Why You Should Add Coconut to Your Diet
I’m always on the go, so in order to be prepared I always have snacks with me in case I can’t get somewhere to have a decent real food meal. One of my favorite snacks is Coconut Chips! Now I know there are a lot of coconut haters out there and believe me I totally…

Arugula Pesto and Why You Should Eat More Arugula
Last week in my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) box I had a mysterious bag of lettuce. I wasn’t exactly sure what it was so I grabbed a leaf and began to chew. Whoa!! It was peppery! After many hours of watching the Food Network I knew that peppery lettuce had to be Arugula. The only…

Can you believe May is over? This year is really flying by so quickly. I wanted to share with you some of my favorites recipes and articles from May. What I loved in May: I really want to give this Grain-Free Butternut Flatbread a try. It seems so versatile! Do you know the health benefits…
Turnip Cauliflower Mash and the Health Benefits of Turnips
I was just thinking the other week how I hadn’t had turnips in awhile and that I should pick some up at the Farmer’s Market. Luckily for me, my CSA box had turnips this week. The first thing that comes to mind when I see turnips is Turnip Fries, but I wanted to make something…
