Raw Pesto Zoodle Pasta

I get recipes in my head sometimes, and it’s such a beautiful picture. Then I try it, and it is nothing like that gorgeous picture in my head! That’s what has happened over and over and over with my pesto zoodles. I love the flavor of the pesto with the...

German Cabbage & Apples

This time of year feels like you’re torn between spring and winter. We still have a lot of winter to get through, but there are some really nice days. And at the farmer markets you can still see the winter cabbages and squashes, but we also have great...

Nourishing Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato Soup

Nourishing soups are coming to the forefront of everything that I’m doing as the weather turns colder (sorta - I mean, does it ever get REALLY cold in California?). This nourishing butternut squash and sweet potato soup is literally bursting with flavor,...

Sweet Paleo Caranitas

Ok, for real. My friend made me a version of these up in Tahoe a few years back, and I kid you not, I was literally scraping every single bit of these off of the pan at the end of the night. I *might* have thought about putting my face in the pot to get...

Honey Lime Chicken Skewers

Bison burgers, Siete chips with gut healing guac (use link), fresh fruit, delish smoothies, and these chicken skewers top my list for summer foods. These are very simple to make and your family will absolutely love them! We love to double, triple and even...

Chicken Bacon Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

I’m gonna get right to the point on this one. This dressing will seriously make you want to drink it with a straw. It’s THAT good! Only real food ingredients and a dish that will have your guests raving. I actually made this for some friends this past...

Chicken and Butternut Squash Lasagna

I wish that my pictures did more justice to this lasagna. Sometimes I have recipes pop into my head, and I just know they’re going to be amazing! It’s pretty fun when that actually turns out to be true! If you can make the butternut squash cream and...
