Do you have a CSA box or your own garden? If so, you may be overwhelmed with greens right about now. Chard, kale, collard greens. We get a local box from Door to Door Organics, and I can barely keep up with all the greens. Yesterday I decided to use up a ton of kale…
Sides & Snacks
Roasted Rainbow Carrots
I’m a huge admirer of Jamie Oliver—as a person and as a cook. Last week I made a grain-free variation of his chocolate clafoutis for my Paleo Chocolate Lovers’ Cookbook. Yum. Tonight I made another dish inspired by Jamie, and it is so simple, you’re going to love it. He used fresh garlic and thyme, which…
Grape Jam
This is the third year since we planted our grapes. I give them (and everything in our yard) worm castings and water. Nothing else. And they are thriving. Below is Zoe sitting with the first basket so you can get a sense of how many grapes there are. We don’t own a scale, but I…
Homemade Sauerkraut (fermented in a ceramic crock)
My husband, Andy, is so excited about this. I mean, I love it too, and so do the girls, but this is the first thing he’s made himself. First he tried fermenting the cabbage in mason jars, which has worked for some of our friends. But in a few days time ours were moldy. The…
Celery Root Fries, one of my favorite celeriac recipes
It all started when I got the biggest celery root ever in my Door to Door Organics box a couple weeks ago. The last time I had celery root was when Ashley was a baby, and I couldn’t remember what I did with it. So I asked you guys on Facebook, and you had so…
Thanks Rickie for this Sweet Cinnamon Carrot Bean Butter!
Guest Post | Rickie from Diet, Dessert and Dogs As soon as Kelly asked if I’d like to write a guest post for her blog (have you seen the photos of gorgeous baby Ginger yet?), I knew that my recipe would have to involve beans! Inspired by Kelly’s magic with beans in the kitchen, I’ve…
Cashew Dip by Hallie at Daily Bites
I’m so excited to have my sweet friend Hallie from Daily Bites offer her Cashew Ranch Dip in today’s guest post. Enjoy! ♥, Kelly Kelly and I met through our blogs a while ago. I’m continually amazed at what great friends a person can make from behind a computer screen! I was lucky enough to…
Taco potato wedges
In ongoing effort to not use my oven (as much as possible) in the heat this summer, I decided to make potato wedges in the crock pot. I used my friend Stephanie’s technique . They came out really yummy—so yummy we made them twice. We had white potatoes, but next time I’m going to try…
Spunky Coconut Gluten Free BBQ Sauce Recipe
Lately it has been very hot here in the Colorado Front Range. Rather than heat up the house by turning on the oven, we’ve used the grill a couple of times now. What is it about the smell of wood chips burning? Ohh… it smells so good. I feel like I’m camping without ever leaving…
Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes
Don’t these mock mashed potatoes look amazing? They are =) I got the idea from my friend, Elana. You can see her recipe here. Although I do eat white potatoes once in a while, I don’t like to eat them constantly. But to have “mashed potatoes” more often sounds like a good idea to me….
