The Crust + Crumble The crust and crumble for these Paleo pumpkin bars are made with the same ingredients. It’s a crumbly mixture made with blanched almond flour, coconut butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar and some cinnamon. The magic happens when you press the mixture into the bottom of the pan because when it bakes it turns into this cookie like crust. Then, you just sprinkle the remainder of the loose mixture on top, and it’s like a crumble topping....

this recipe Quick + Easy BLT Chicken Salad We love how quick and easy this chicken salad comes together! You can use leftover chicken to make this as quick and easy as possible, or make a batch of shredded chicken in your crockpot. Just add your chicken and some bone broth or salsa and cook it on high for three hours or on low for six hours. We love having leftover chicken just so we can make this BLT chicken salad!...

Fortunately, this shredded beef stew recipe is one of the latter. Erica had the idea to make a stew but we didn’t have any plans for exactly what would go in it. With some experimentation and a little luck, we ended up with this: Don’t you want to grab a spoon and dig in? Instead of using traditional chopped stew meat we used a chuck roast we had on hand and shredded the roast to create a shredded beef stew....

Berry Season – My Favorite Season I think summer produce (and sunshine) are what make this my favorite time of the year! Blueberries are my favorite, and Justin’s mom has a bunch of mature blueberry bushes that yield the juiciest and most luscious blueberries! They are perfect for this spinach blueberry salad! We’ve made this with blueberries, but I have to think that you could easily substitute other berries like blackberries or raspberries and end up with a real tasty dressing!...

Meatballs For Breakfast One of my favorite things about making these meatballs is that they are the perfect make ahead breakfast! When we make them, I love how easy breakfast is for the rest of the week! Just re-heat these butternut breakfast meatballs and enjoy the easy morning. They are also easily packed and enjoyed once you get to your office if that’s your thing, too. Just Add Some Greens Since these butternut breakfast meatballs have squash in them in addition to the protein, they’ve got fiber built in which makes them filling and a great way to start your morning....

this recipe Simple Yet Elegant These cranberry orange crumble bars are really a statement piece to add to your holiday menu. They are gorgeous and elegant looking, yet simple. The crust and the crumble on top are actually the same thing, so you just make one big batch rather than a crust and a topping. So easy! Oh yeah, and they make a pretty yummy breakfast for leftovers if there are any left!...

this recipe Prepping Your Crockpot All you have to do is place all of the ingredients in your crockpot in the order listed below in the recipe. If you have a crockpot with the removable basin, you can prep it the day before, and then just store it in the fridge overnight. The next morning before you head out the door, return the basin to the crockpot and cook on low for eight hours....

The Best Way To Snack Healthy Snacking is hard because it can easily lead to succumbing to convenience, and I think we all know that often times convenience ends up being a less healthy option than what we would go for if we had planned well....

How long to cook scallops in the air fryer? It will depend on the size of your scallops of course, but most will cook within 6-10 minutes. If your scallops are fairly small (about the size of those pictured in this blog post), they will cook in 6-7 minutes. If you have larger bay scallops, you’ll need to cook them longer (about 10-12) minutes. The key is to watch the scallops closely around 6-7 minutes and remove them once they are just turning white in the center....

Not only are these Paleo banana pancakes tasty, they also require only three ingredients. Yep, just three! One bowl and three ingredients…that means you can probably go make them right now! You should do that! YUMM…and if you’re wondering what all that action is on top…you can see that my new favorite pancake toppings are cashew butter and a little drizzle of honey. Have you ever tried it?! It’s like a peanut butter banana sandwich back in the good old days....

this recipe Nut-free baking Eating nuts can really be a slippery slope for us. All of the sudden we look down and realize we’ve eaten half a bag of nuts, and then our stomachs pay for it. You know what I’m talking about, right? It’s way too easy to eat too many nuts. Baking without traditional flour easily lends itself to using nut flours, which is great, but can similarly lead to eating too many nuts....

Dairy-Free Pesto We like adding pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds to our pesto to give it a little extra texture in the absence of cheese since we opt for a dairy-free version. For this recipe, we went with pumpkin seeds for a lower carb option, and also for their health benefits. In this post, Dr. Mercola touts pumpkin seeds as “nutritional powerhouses” for their nutrients and antioxidant properties. We think they’re pretty tasty too, and you won’t even miss the dairy in this salmon pesto kale bowl!...

The idea for this salad was inspired by a recipe we found last year for a kale winter salad from the blog A Tasty Love Story. We tried it for the first time around Thanksgiving last year and it immediately became one of our favorites. We loved how fancy it looked and all of the amazing flavor it packed in. For our twist we added a couple of different kinds of kale, some shaved brussels and switched up the almonds for sunflower seeds....
