I made the best meal on Valentine's day - a steakhouse quality meal at home (and with no steak). We always seem to lean towards grass fed filet mignons for special evenings at home but I decided I wanted to make something a little different. I chose to make pork because I decided I was going to make some turnip greens and they sounded good together. So here it is, Maple Glazed Pork Chops. I served them over homemade mashed potatoes with some bacon braised turnip greens. It was ridiculously good ...

Oven Roasted Cauliflower; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
I started some seeds yesterday, specifically cauliflower (amongst others). Since good organic cauliflower is like $5 per head and we eat it ALL the time I thought I would try and grow some. Whether you're growing it or buying it you need to try out this recipe! This Roasted Cauliflower is a staple at our house. The cauliflower is tender and the bottom gets slightly browned and carmelized. Of course, its wonderful because its naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free and egg free. It ...
Crock Pot Buffalo Chili; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
Everytime my mom swings by she's dropping me random things. A lot of times, like 2 weeks ago when I was sick, she'll swing through and bake a quick Broccoli and Ham Quiche for me (they are our go-to, we store them in the fridge (they're good for at least 4 days) if we don't have the time or energy to cook breakfast in the near future), the time before that, some pickled herring for me to drop off to my grandma, after thanksgiving, a turkey carcass for me to make broth, and about a month ago, ...
Elimination Diet Recipes; A Month of Allergen Free Food
I've been a bit MIA since Thanksgiving (other than some cookie posts)....didn't mean to I promise. I was neck deep in garland, and LED Christmas lights with a full fridge (and I mean FULL! ….Turkey, two whole chickens, green beans for an allergen free green bean casserole, and more) when I decided that I was going to help my father-in-law do an elimination diet. He's had a multitude of health problems for years and I can just tell a lot of them are related to food intolerances. Over the last ...
Valentine’s Day Puppy Chow without Peanut Butter; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
Last year at Christmas I was looking through my pantry and thinking...hmmm... we don't eat cereal, what can I do with these crispy rice squares? I've seen puppy chow my entire life but it normally sent me running away (because I have a deathly allergy to peanuts). Hmmmm could I make an allergen free version of Puppy Chow? My sister, who can have peanut butter, was over so I asked her to help me and taste test to see if it actually tasted the same as the peanuty version. Apparently it does! Her ...

Turkey and Oregano Meatballs with Sauteed Mushrooms, Spinach & Spaghetti Squash; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Recipe
There is no title that will give this recipe justice....seriously. The first time I made it I decided to try it simply because I needed some easy to chew, easier to digest proteins for my FIL to eat while he was doing an elimination diet (so it also had to be gluten free, soy free, dairy free, lactose free, nut free, egg free, citrus free, nightshade free, yeast free & more). My FIL loves spaghetti squash, onions, and mushrooms and I personally was determined to get him to eat some greens ...
