Oh my goodness y’all. I don’t know how I have waited so long before making homemade loaded paleo nachos. While I was never an avid nacho eater, who doesn’t love good nachos every now and then? It’s been like 7 years since I’ve enjoyed nachos. I usually stick to chips and salsa or chips and …
Peach Pico De Gallo
School is almost out, the temperature is climbing, and stone fruits are coming into season! In my CSA box last week I got peaches and nectarines, cilantro, tomatoes, and much more. I am excited for a change in produce and for enjoying many of my summer favorites including avocado caprese. This particular combination delivered to …
Caprese with Avocado (Dairy Free Recipe)
Caprese has been a staple at summer parties for as long as I can remember. Then I had to go dairy free and couldn’t enjoy this favorite appetizer. It was very sad. I had gone without this wonderful dish for years until this summer. Then all of a sudden I realized something…avocado would totally make …
Gluten Free Zucchini Fritters
Zucchini fritters are a delicious and fun way to get more vegetables into your diet. I grew up eating all kinds of different vegetable fritters and now I’m raising my kids up enjoying them too. My kids love their vegetable “pancakes” and I’m happy they love eating them! One of the things I love about zucchini …
Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
I absolutely love entertaining. Life is so busy, I love having all my friends in one place, enjoying good food, and each others company. Sausage stuffed mushrooms are simple to prepare, extremely delicious, and always a hit. My favorite part is that they can be prepared a day ahead then just placed in the oven …
Halibut Ceviche
Summer is the season of all things cold here in Phoenix, at least for me. When it’s over 100 degrees, the last thing I want to eat is something hot most days. Ceviche is a food I have long enjoyed but hadn’t had the courage to create myself. Well, I finally did it! The result …
Smoked Salmon Dill Pear Bites
I absolutely love entertaining. As always, I keep things super simple while still staying fun and delicious. These Smoked Salmon Dill Pear Bites fit the bill perfectly. I developed these on a random morning when I forgot my lunch at home and had to stop at the store. I was planning on making my Salmon …
Restaurant Style Salsa
I just love going out for Mexican food. Everyone’s favorite part is always the appetizer of chips and salsa. Their salsa is always amazing! Well, being gluten free and corn free…the days of enjoying their chips and salsa are long gone. However, I won’t let that stop me from enjoying the deliciousness and it’s so …
Gazpacho
I absolutely love Gazpacho, but it wasn’t always this way. For some strange reason while I never thought twice about eating spaghetti sauce or ketchup, the thought of a cold tomato based soup weirded me out. I don’t know why but I hope I’m not the only one out there that had this struggle. However, …
Classic Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs are a classic American dish for get-togethers and picnics. Especially for events like Easter and 4th of July. They are affordable, simple, delicious, Paleo, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free (as long as you keep them on the opposite side of the table from the breads.) As a universal favorite, everyone can enjoy them without even …
