Crazy for Kale

Posted by Matthew on Apr 18, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 57 comments

Don’t miss the end of the post, there’s a GIVEAWAY! One of our boys’ favorite vegetables is kale. I think it probably started when we made Kale Chips for Eat Like a Dinosaur, and then our oldest (a born leader) declared his absolute love for the vegetable. Since then the other boys have followed along like little ducklings in support of his declaration. I mention this vegetable often when talking about their favorite foods on the podcast, so when Hallie asked us to review her Crazy for Kale ebook and submit a recipe for round-up I was shocked to see that the only recipe I...

Chocolate Trail Mix Detox Cookies

Posted by Stacy on Jan 12, 2013 in 2013, Featured | 10 comments

What do you call a ball of ingredients that’s packed with protein & healthy fat and missing the sweeteners that would make it a cookie? How do you tell people, “Warning, this cookie is not your typical cookie. Do not think this recipe will remind you of Toll House.”? I don’t know, no matter what I call this people are either going to complain I shouldn’t make cookies on a detox or that it’s not sweet enough – so, let’s just forge ahead anyway and encourage the nay-sayers to MYOB. The cookies are called Chocolate Trail Mix Cookies because...

Egg Nog Three Ways

Posted by Matthew on Dec 17, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 22 comments

So I may have mentioned this before, but I have some food addiction problems. One of them is a terrible addiction to egg nog. Stacy and I often joke that if egg nog was in stores year round, I’d weigh 400 pounds. I chug the stuff, drink it by the quart and still desire more. Yes, I’m aware that this is no good for anyone, least of all me. But that stuff is really great. So much so, we want to use it in everything. Today, we present to you a TRIO of recipes using a simple dairy-free egg nog recipe. You’re welcome. So, why not make my own? It’s not that hard and it...

Thanksgiving Leftovers Brussels Sprouts Frittata

Posted by Stacy on Nov 24, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 4 comments

I don’t know about you, but my fridge is overflowing with leftovers from hosting Thanksgiving. Yesterday we had cold turkey meat dipped in mayo and a sweet potato biscuit on our way out the door to catch sales (p.s. thanks to Black Friday sales, Athleta is my new obsession). Since this morning was my family’s last day visiting I wanted to make a nice brunch. I opened my fridge to figure out what I could make and had a ton of storage containers stare back at me. I found most of a bag of fresh cranberries sitting there, waiting to be used. My mom has gone strictly gluten-free and is...

Apple Pie Balls: Nut-Free Larabar Wannabes

Posted by Stacy on Nov 5, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 18 comments

We thought we’d seen everything with this blog. But, when we posted the Banana Bread Balls we were quite surprised by the amount of traffic and comments we got from people excited about a replacement Larabar – especially with it being nut-free. Obviously, we make these because Finian and I do our best to stay nut-free on the autoimmune protocol. But there’s another reason quite a few were excited. Evidently, it was recently revealed that Larabars are owned by a company who donates money to the not-labelling-GMO-cause (Prop 37). And from what you tell us, quite a few of you...

Banana Bread Balls: Nut-Free Larabar Wannabes

Posted by Stacy on Oct 25, 2012 in 2012, Featured | 26 comments

For 3 months now, I’ve been nut-free because I’m only eating Autoimmune-compliant paleo foods. And for 3 months now, I’ve been missing the convenience and tasty treat a Larabar always offered me while on-the-go. A few weeks ago, however, I saw a Banana Bread Larabar at the store and a light bulb went off (as I stood there, eyes glazed over and frothing at the mouth longing for my long-lost-friend: the nut). With the magic of bananas, I could recreate this flavor of their awesome bars without nuts! No, seriously, I did. And they’re fan-freaking-tastic. If you were a...
