I have served this dish to company many many times with rave reviews. It’s full of flavor and is especially good in the summer time with fresh zucchini and basil.

The meatloaf itself is very straightforward, and, what I would consider to be a “classic” style meatloaf. I know from reading the internet that there are about 10,000 versions of “classic” anything, so all I can say is this is my personal classic.

After many taste tests I’ve come up with the best paleo edible cookie dough recipe that also happens to be vegan! It’s a family favorite, takes just 5 minutes, and can be rolled into cookie dough balls if desired. Gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo and vegan.

This easy Probiotic Blender Ranch Dressing is full of probiotics from sour cream (you can alternately use crème fraîche or yogurt) and milk kefir. Not all sour cream contains probiotics, so it’s important to use one that isn’t over processed and has a bunch of unnecessary ingredients.

So a little sour cream, a little broth, some herbs and cheddar… voila! A delicious little white sauce perfect for spaghetti squash was born. It’s easy peasy to put together, and if you want to dress it up, tastes great with some grass-fed ground beef thrown in.

Prep these flavorful pork skewers ahead of time and enjoy these flavorful bites of lemongrass-ginger pork with just a moment’s notice. This recipe uses a cheaper cut of pork, the pork butt (shoulder). If pork isn’t your thing, this marinade is delicious with chicken. Use the fattier thigh meat for best result.

Not only does this relish provide a zesty tang for sandwiches or burgers, it’s also very pretty!

These days we are eating eggs for dinner about once a week. They are so simple, nutritious, inexpensive and versatile. My husband is a huge fan of omelets filled with many different ingredients. Personally, I prefer scrambled eggs. So we meet in the middle – scrambled eggs with lots of different flavorings. I also find that eggs are extremely child-friendly.

While I do love the roasted red pepper hummuses you can buy at the store, making it from home is so much cheaper (and just as delicious). Plus, you have the added bonus of not needing to include any stabilizing ingredients or other unnecessary stuff. Just a few, simple, delicious, whole ingredients stuffed into my Blendtec and pureed into a creamy goodness.

These Italian meatballs are sorta the best of both worlds. They pair the delicious, comforting Italian flavors with the ease of the crockpot and/or Instant Pot. And to top it all off, they’re stuffed with cheese for added richness and depth of flavor.

Avocado Banana Chocolate Pudding is intensely chocolate with a hint of banana and maple syrup. Healthy and delicious, no-one will ever guess that it has avocados and no butter or chocolate. Enjoy this healthy treat any time. It's vegan, raw, and gluten-free.

Buckwheat has a lovely nutty flavor and makes these pancakes not only hearty and filling, but much more interesting than run-of-the-mill white flour pancakes. The soaking process helps to break down the grains, making the pancakes softer and the grain more digestible.
