Yeah, cookies are off limits right now, but if you aren’t crazypants like we are, with the whole no-sugar diet thing, you can go check them all out. But don’t tell me how awesome they are, because I’ll cutchoo. The only sugar we’re allowed to have (and only because we CrossFit) is one serving of […]
Paleo Elvis Pancakes
Anyone who knows anything about Elvis knows one of his favorite meals was a deep fried banana and peanut butter sandwich with bacon. Now, let’s preface this with the fact that I’ve actually had one of these before. I’ve also had an Elvis burger (at The Ram Brewery in Chicago) which is pretty much one […]
Spinach and Artichoke Fritatta With Caramelized Leeks
Oh, IT Department, you slay me! I put in for the java issue I was having at noon on Sunday and they didn’t fix it until 3:30 pm yesterday (Monday). Since I’m more computer literate than most and married to a man who works IT/Systems for the government, we’re a pretty tech savvy family and […]

I have a confession: I ate this whole thing on Saturday morning. By myself. Well, except the obligatory taste testing Mike does on all my recipes to deem them worthy of posting. In my defense, the four cups of veggies cook down to about half. So, um, I only ate 2 cups of hasbrowns. Guess […]
Acorn Squash Breakfast Hash

But when I gave up bread, I just started to eat my eggs differently: hard-boiled, scrambled, omelets. The runny-eggs-over-medium just weren’t the same without the bread. But […]
(Hangover) Breakfast Pie
Remember this post? Where I had a few friends from college over for the weekend? Well guess what college friends like to do? Needless to say, Sunday morning I woke up feeling like a fresh piece of microwaved ass. Luckily I live in the Midwest now where there are a plethora of hangover cures: biscuits […]
Sunday Morning Grain-Free Crepes
These kind of happened by accident. I was attempting to make these coconut flour pancakes and though they tasted delicious, they sure weren’t fluffy. So Mike and I both worked in the kitchen this morning, adding and trying and tasting until we found the perfect crepe. And though it’s technically Saturday, I named these Sunday […]
