Growing up, Saturday mornings were my favorite. My dad would come home early in the morning from a long night working as a fireman, my mom would make make these super yummy crepes, and we would eat breakfast together as a family before running off to all the hustle and bustle. The funny thing is that she didn’t call them crepes, …
Grain-Free Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll in a Mug Recipe (Paleo, Gluten-free)
It’s fall, y’all! The bewitching time of year when we pumpkin spice all the things and grocery stores and shopping malls turn into autumn wonderlands, smelling of cinnamon sticks and cider with glittering pumpkins and country apple candles bamboozling their shelves. It’s glorious, isn’t it? Being from Charleston, SC, I never really experienced the changing of seasons and, more times …
Gluten-Free Chocolate Donut Holes
It was a tasty tradition. Every Sunday we would head to church then stop at Dunkin Donuts for some Munchkins….their scrumptious donut holes. It was our treat for the week and the kids (and myself) looked forward to it. Then our daughter’s diagnosis came — she couldn’t tolerate gluten. Uh oh, not good for our Dunkin Donuts tradition. This is …

Allergen-Friendly Cranberry Apple Pie (Grain, Gluten, Nut, Dairy, Egg, and Refined Sugar Free)
In my mind, there is no more idyllic kitchen task than baking a pie. It brings to mind the holidays, or a family gathering, a warm house, and a sweet smelling kitchen. I think of grandmothers everywhere rolling out dough and slicing up apples. Why, after being a part of this real food movement for years now, I still have …
Allergen-Free Apple Pie
I’m really sensitive to sugar. Like really sensitive. Like, I break out from honey or dates sensitive and it’s very sad. I can’t do sugar alternatives, either. I tend to have a bad reaction to anything with added sweeteners. You know what that means? No desserts. Sad, I know. Since desserts and treats are usually not healthy, this is quite …
Apple Tart (Grain, Nut, & Dairy Free)
Fall is officially here! I don’t know about you, but my absolute favorite time of the year is the fall! The crisp air, leaves turning colors, comfy sweaters, and yummy pumpkin spice latte’s!

Hi, Hello, How Are You? (It’s good to be back; want some free stuff)?
Yup, it’s been a while, friends. Oh, how I’ve MISSED this! Other than my obligatory *Mostly* Homemade Monday blog hop posts (which I do enjoy very much), I haven’t written an actual blog post in…well, let’s just say a little while. So, truly, it’s great to be back. So…what have I been doing? Well, quite a lot, actually. No, I have …

It feels like the world has just discovered this brand new amazing thing in the last few years. It’s called the coconut! At one time, coconut was demonized for its high saturated fat content. Remember back in August of 1987 (no? …
