Paleo Banana Pancakes, My Style!

I’ve been dubious about trying the two/three ingredient paleo banana pancake. But I finally gave it a shot (doctored up to be extra good) and it was awesome! It satisfies my craving for something sweet and carb-like, but is actually pretty dang healthy. Don’t forget to broil to set the top! That’s the key. 1 … Continue reading

Sweet Potato Pancakes, perfected!

While for the most part I’ve not had a lot of carb-envy, I do miss stuff like pancakes or french toast in the morning. And while there are lots of gluten-free versions, having mainly carbs for breakfast screws up my day (in that I crash and want to sleep all morning). While I love my … Continue reading

Paleo Staples: The Fry Up

This is my version of what Brits often call a fry up. It’s more like a roast-up, or a broil-up, but whatever. It’s comprised of some kind of meat, a lot of veggies, and eggs. I’ll break it up by procedure rather than ingredients. Meat: I use a gf sausage or bacon; something that sheds … Continue reading

Mint Chocolate Chip Scones

This was a happy accident recipe.  I had set some mint to steep in some cream to make some mint chocolate chip ice cream.  Then…well, I got lazy.  I left it in the fridge for a day or so and decided I didn’t have enough eggs to spare to make ice cream base and my … Continue reading

Amaranth Greens and Sweet Pea Frittata

Ahhh, the frittata.  The catch all for those vegetables you just don’t know how to handle.  When amaranth greens showed up again, I decided that the forgiving vehicle of a fritatta to get them to the table. Seriously.  How pretty are those leaves? It’s like summertime in a skillet! And anything that ends with a … Continue reading

Frittata Margherita

I love summer vegetables.  I love basil and tomatoes and dinners that take only 15 minutes from walking in the door to sitting at the table.  The frittata is the perfect vehicle for a fast dinner.  It’s easy, flexible, and you usually have all you need in the larder to complete the meal. Frittata Margherita … Continue reading

Arugula and Eggs on a Raft

Arugula.  Ugh.  I cringe every time I pull it out of the box.  I’m just not a fan.  I went into this meal completely uninspired.  I stumbled across a recipe for open faced arugula sandwiches somewhere on the internet, but only looked at the picture, not even reading the recipe because I was cringing at … Continue reading
