Real Food Recipes

As a busy mom, the majority of my recipes are seasonal, simple and require little time in the kitchen. Because of food sensitivities, we eat 100% whole food, Paleo/Primal style—which means all recipes are gluten, grain and soy free. The majority of them are also raw, dairy-free, and GAPS/SCD-legal.

Because we eat seasonally, I often post more than one recipe per article for whatever food is being harvested that week. This means that as you browse the recipes, you will see certain headlines listed more than once. For example, in All Aboard the Turnip Truck, there is a both salad recipe and a side dish recipe using turnips and turnip greens, and in Date Night!, there are 3 different ways to enjoy fresh dates.
