These muffins knock my socks off every time I make them and they were one of the very first baked goods I tried when we were experimenting with the world of Paleo.

These little mighty balls pack a great punch of protein and yumminess and to me are so super good when they are really cold!

Every time I’ve made this (and I’ve made it a good number of times because it’s amazing) I use sweet potatoes after they have been baked rather than the butternut squash, and I never do the steps at the end (but I’m determined to try it that way one of these days).

With a hubby who was an apprentice pastry chef I basically never feel like I’ve made a dessert that can compete with his, but this is the exception.  Everyone LOVES this peanut butter pie and it might just become a Christmas tradition!

On black Friday we ordered an InstaPot and it is a GAME CHANGER!  We have had so much fun with it nearly every day since!  So far our very favorite recipe is this chili.  It has some unusual ingredients, but don’t skip any of them – you’ll see why!!

I have always been a huge fan of authentic rice pudding, but I’m not a fan of the store bought kind. The option to easily make my own with coconut milk makes me want to cry tears of joy!!

Okay – WOW!  I bought a bunch of hard-boiled eggs for some reason from Costco (some things aren’t meant to be purchased in bulk when no one else in your house eats them)!  I didn’t want them to go bad so I went out to see if I could find an egg salad recipe without mayo (one of my least favorite condiments).  I lucked upon this recipe and I tasted it and the angels sang from heaven above!  I’m currently loving it with a slice of Dave’s Killer Bread!
