This is a great summer or fall recipe and you get to use your slow cooker!! I’m always looking for new ways to make pork and incorporate that into our diet. I get a little sick of the usually chicken, beef and occasional fish. I also made the Hawaiian rolls from scratch and gluten-freed them….

Honey Mustard Chicken, Avocado & Bacon Salad
I’m always looking for ways to be more creative with my salads. I am famous for my salads. I can look in the fridge, pull out some veggies and fruit, grab some ingredients out of the cabinet and throw it all together. I know how to balance out crunchy, sweet, salty, creamy- it’s a gift,…
Gluten Free Pierogies
Ever since I went gluten free, I’ve been cheating when it comes to pierogies. I’ve never been much of a baker- I’ve always been a cook. Cooking is always so much safer- you don’t really have to measure things once you get the hang of how much a teaspoon looks like where baking is much…
Nachos with Plantain Chips
This is another recipe my husband asks for on a regular basis. The plantain chips give you that crispness you’re looking for when it comes to nachos that you’d be missing from regular chips. You prepare the ground beef like you would a chili, but it definitely takes less time. This is another recipe from…
Butter Chicken with Homemade GF Naan
Okay guys. I hope you’re ready for this one. As I’ve mentioned before, Indian food is a big hit in my house and my husband is always asking me to make it. If you’ve never had Indian food, butter chicken might be a good place for you to start. It has a much more mild…
Paleo Balance Bowl
Annnnnnnd I’m back! I took a bit of a break from blogging during the summer. For those of you who know me, my summers are full of traveling from NJ to PA or NJ to NY for the weekends enjoying family and friend time. My “blogging time” is usually Sunday afternoon/evenings, but I just found…
German Sauerbraten, Potato Pancakes and Cabbage
May isn’t really time for Oktoberfest, but my husband craves German food on a daily basis. His roots are German and this kind of food is his “soul food.” This is a recipe that has been passed down, translated and used by several generations in his family. I’m now passing it down to you. Be…
Ribs, Mashed, Greens
This was one of the easiest dinners, ever. I do a lot of my meat shopping at Costco because I can get high quality meat for almost half the price of what I can get in the supermarket. We were having company on Sunday, so I picked up these ribs- there were two racks in…
Pulled Buffalo Chicken Salad
This is a really great summer recipe. It’s really easy to make when you get home and it’s a blast of flavor in your mouth. I find that it’s not too spicy, but it satisfies everyone on the spice-spectrum. You can make this recipe as is or exchange some of the veg ingredients. I also…
Homemade Potato Pancakes
My husband made these potato pancakes from scratch, using this recipe. I definitely recommend it. I was really impressed by the taste and texture- and he said they were relatively easy! He modified it to make it gluten free. We paired it with our homemade German Sauerbraten, red cabbage and sauerkraut. You’ll have to wait…
Sage and Sausage Gluten Free Pizza
We started off by making this pizza crust which I would definitely recommend if you’re trying to eat gluten free. We made the crust around lunch time and let it sit in the fridge- we find that it’s easier to mold/control if it’s a little cool. It gets pretty sticky with all the cheese melted together,…
Turkey Chili
I’ll be honest with you- I did not have high hopes for this recipe. I’ve made turkey chilis in the past and they’ve never really been tasty. I’ve always believed that you need those good fats from beef, sausage, lamb to make chili really super tasty. Boy, was I wrong. This is another recipe I…
