This juice came about totally randomly one afternoon. I had bought some beets and they were kind of sitting in the fridge. I had a bunch of meals planned and we never ended up using/needing the beets. I could have cooked them in the upcoming week, but I was afraid they were on the fringes…

Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
This is another SUPER easy slow cooker recipe. And it’s packed with flavors. Why worry about coming home from work, maybe late and slave over the stove for an hour while you try to throw something together?? Simply throw all these ingredients in your slow cooker, set it, and FORGET IT! There are green beans…
Beef and Veggie Breakfast Scramble
This is another really great breakfast if you’re sick of eggs. I don’t love this recipe as much as I love my other breakfast recipe because I’m not a huge fan of zucchini, but if you like zucchini, then this might be a great option for you. I also got this recipe from Amy Meyer’s most…
Winter Squash Carbonara with Pancetta and Sage
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve grown out of the typical “spaghetti with tomato sauce” and I’ve tried to expand my options (not to mention that I get terrible heartburn for 2 days following consumption of any large amounts of tomato sauce). This is a really delicious, hearty pasta and completely different option if you’re looking…
Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash soup in a staple in the house come fall. Does anyone not make this?? It’s filling, delicious and relatively cheap. We like to make some gluten free garlic bread on the side to dip in while we’re enjoying- I recommend you do the same! This recipe makes a lot, so we usually freeze…
Cinnamon Apple Breakfast Sausages with Sweet Potato and Greens Breakfast Hash
I’m always looking for new things to eat for breakfast during the week that will be filling. It’s really hard to stray away from eggs. And I’ve done everything with eggs- egg muffins, slow cooker egg casseroles, egg pies, scrambled, over-easy… everything. Eggs get boring. But what else can you eat for breakfast if you’re…
Cucumbers in Tzatziki
You can make tzatziki and put it literally on anything. It’s great on sandwiches, on the side with veggies, or even used like a salad dressing. I used to love this sauce and make it all the time, but I kind of forgot about it. I made it again recently and fell in love all…
Cauliflower Mash with Goat Cheese
Cauliflower mashed “potatoes” has been pretty hot for the past couple of years. I was never particularly a fan, but we jazzed it up a bit and I hope you guys try this recipe. It definitely doesn’t taste like mashed potatoes to me, but it definitely has the consistency. Put all different ingredients in it…
Kibbeh Sinayee
Kibbeh Sin-what? Pretty much a fancy way of saying Shepherd’s Pie made from lamb. Don’t let the name scare you- this dish is delish. It’s pretty fancy and a little complicated, but I don’t think you guys’ll have too much trouble with this one. Pair this with the leftover cauliflower and make a mash and/or…
Chicken and Dumpling Soup- Gluten Free!
One of my favorite recipes growing up as a kid was chicken and dumpling soup. I tried this recipe for the first time around this time last year. I made everything from scratch and I never had better chicken soup in my life. I definitely suggest you do the same. This might take you a…
Gluten Free Goat Cheese Lasagna
This recipe is dedicated to my Mama and 100% hers. My mom is self-proclaimed lactose intolerant. She has diagnosed her own dairy sensitivity. That makes being an Italian and loving Italian food a little hard in our house, especially when it comes to staples like lasagna. She actually found that she can tolerate goat cheese…
