Homemade Ketchup: Whole30 and Paleo

I don’t think there’s another topping as versatile as ketchup. When I was able to add tomatoes to my diet, homemade ketchup was the first thing I made! After years of eating plain burger patties with just salt, this delicious, red sauce changed everything!! Ketchup has always been one of my favorite sauces. I’d eat burger dripping, fries covered, meatloaf smothered, scrambled eggs drizzled in ketchup. Between my husband and…

In this post, I’ll walk you through using unflavored beef gelatin for added protein. We love Great Lakes brand gelatin because it’s full of protein and amino acids. It also makes awesome jello and mousse. This gelatin is GAPS approved and has no taste! Preparation…

Oven Roasted Bell Peppers and Zucchini

With spices like garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, these oven roasted bell peppers and zucchini slices are a fantastic side for burgers, steak, or a zesty chicken dish. Plus, they make your house smell awesome! One of my favorite things about oven roasted veggies is there’s no need to babysit them. A…

Homemade Creamy Balsamic Vinaigrette Recipe

One of my least favorite things about homemade salad dressings is that they separate and are really oily. Well, I was making homemade mayonnaise one evening and realized I’d never tried to use my immersion blender to mix my salad dressing. Problem solved!! My search for a thick and creamy, paleo, homemade, clean salad dressing was over. This homemade creamy balsamic vinaigrette recipe comes together in a few minutes and can…

Instant Pot Paleo Sweet Potato Chicken Curry Recipe

After 20 months of eating only 15 foods over and over, I was thrilled to expand my diet. It took another 8 months or so for me to really dive into deeper flavors and recipes. This recipe was such a treat for our family with rich flavors, creamy consistency, and some (optional) heat. Better yet, it’s a one pot meal, yay for fewer dishes!! This recipe is paleo and Whole30 compliant.…

Paleo Pumpkin Brownies

These brownies are delicious, and it’s not just me who thinks that. Sometimes I think that my tastebuds have evolved and I wouldn’t know what tasted conventional and what didn’t. BUT- these brownies have been taste tested by my dad who’s the biggest chocolate and dessert connoisseur and by my husband who’s a sweets fanatic. My paleo pumpkin brownies easily replace the fudgey, thick, rich boxed rivals. They’re probably better! Dietary…

Oven Roasted Potatoes

So, potatoes aren’t the healthiest food, but they are cheap, filling, and high calorie. They’re not paleo, but they are Whole 30 compliant. Since our son (and I) can’t eat any grains at all, and feeding him is a (nearly) all day deal, gaining potatoes as a safe for him was a huge win. Our grocery budget rejoiced. My high calorie needs and extremely clean and limited diet needed a…
