When my parents were married, my dad gave my mom a jewelry box with an inscription on the inside. It said, “A Pie a Week Keeps the Husband Sweet.” Needless to say, after more than 40 years of marriage, mom became an expert pie maker. I spent years baking with mom to learn her craft….

Traditional Stuffing with Parsley, Sage & Thyme

Paleo Animal Crackers
I loved animal crackers as a child. My mom would frequently buy them for me as a treat. I would play with them, bite a head off, play with them some more, dismember a bear… It sounds much more gruesome than it is, BUT admit it – you did it too! I wanted my children to…
Dairy Free Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer (Vegan/No Sugar Added)
I normally don’t take creamer in my coffee. Well, at least not anymore. I used to. Up until I changed my diet and couldn’t find the right sort of dairy free creamer substitute. I tried everything from dairy free coffee creamers to canned coconut milk to any and every dairy free milk under the sun….
White Cioppino with Kale (Seafood Stew)
It might not be officially fall, but it feels somewhat fall-ish here in Alaska. The temps have dropped, the leaves are falling, and I have the sudden urge to make Dairy Free Peppermint Hot Cocoa (a stevia sweetened version of it anyways) and wear my goose down vest. I’m sad to have to say goodbye…

Vegan Caramel Sauce
Caramel… sweet sweet caramel…. It’s something many of us haven’t been able to indulge in – in a very long time.
