Pumpkin Bread (Grain-Free, Nut-Free)
Welcome to Part 2 of my Pumpkin Everything obsession! I expressed my love for pumpkin season (aka I’m addicted to cinnamon) in my Dairy-Free Pumpkin Ice Cream post here, and am continuing the trend with a glorious grain-free, gluten-free, nut-free, white sugar-free, paleo (ish) pumpkin bread. Well what the heck is even in it? Coconut […]
Dairy-Free Pumpkin Ice Cream (White Sugar-Free)
IT’S TIME FOR PUMPKIN EVERYTHING! This trend has grown more and more prevalent in the last couple of years, and I ain’t complainin’. I don’t know why we are all so obsessed with pumpkin season, but I know for me it’s the pumpkin spice combo. Cinnamon, in particular. I love me some cinny-mon. Cinnamon on […]
Copper (Cu) (Small But Mighty)
Copper (Cu) (Small But Mighty) Copper is one of my favorite minerals and honestly I can’t explain why. Maybe it’s the name, Copper. Or possibly it is because, from deep in my heart and soul, Copper’s element symbol is Cu and I did go to Clemson University… But as I said I can’t really explain […]
Steak Tacos with Grain-Free Tortillas & Guacamole Broccoli Slaw
Remember that trip to Portland, Oregon that I keep raving about? Well here’s another recipe inspired by that trip! This one comes from our amazing lunch at Cultured Cavemen, a Paleo restaurant in Portland. This meal is specifically inspired by my lunch of carnitas, complete with grain-free tortillas and slaw. I took a different spin […]
Vitamin B Complex (One Big Happy Family)

Grass-Fed Meat
Grass-Fed Meat Grass-fed beef has become increasingly more popular, and not without reason. Cows are meant to eat a certain way, and surprise!, that way is not trapped in cages and force-fed an unnatural diet. Red meat has gotten a bad wrap for wreaking havoc on our systems over the last couple of decades, but […]
Nourish Organic (Deodorant Replacement)
Deodorant Replacement: Nourish Organic Deodorant is one of those things that we get in the habit of putting on everyday and don’t think twice about. What is its purpose? Well, to prevent your own body odor from smelling so obnoxiously to the person standing next to you that it makes them walk away. I always […]
Vitamin C (More Than Just An Immune System Boost)
Vitamin C If I say Vitamin C, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Fruit? Antioxidant? If you ask a nutritionist, dietitian, or biochemist the answer might be Ascorbic Acid, the science name of Vitamin C, or possibly Scurvy. OK what the heck is Scurvy? I will get to that in a bit. […]
Dairy-Free Coconut Ice Cream with Salted Caramel and Chocolate Ganache Swirl (White Sugar-Free): Inspired by Salt & Straw
First of all, let me express my excitement about us purchasing an ice cream maker: EEEEHHEEEEEEYEAH! This is the one we got, and we love it! Ice cream is definitely, for sure, abso-posi-lutely my favorite dessert. I don’t know what it is, but I have always been an ice cream addict. Which is kind of […]
