Way back in 2013, shortly after I started this blog, I created and shared a recipe for rosemary and garlic braised oxtail. I gushed about how delicious it was and what a great use of a cheap cut of beef it was, kicking off a series of posts I labeled “Grassfed on a Budget.” Well, […]
I have long been enamored with everything French, beginning when I signed up to study the language as a 9th grader and culminating when I discovered the deliciousness that is French food!

I asked some of my blogger friends who create recipes that are compliant with the protocol for their perspective and got the resounding answer… YES! They buck the conventional wisdom that the nostalgic and sentimental dishes we consider comforting might be […]
In addition to being the month of all-things-pumpkin, October is Fair Trade Month, so I combined the two and created this recipe for paleo pumpkin spice cupcakes with two kinds of frosting to celebrate! These moist and delicious cupcakes are gluten free, grain free, dairy free, and nut free and they feature three different types […]
