Paleo Poppyseed Dressing

Today I'm sharing our favorite salad dressing! I don't mind the plain oil and vinegar dressings, but my family isn't a huge fan of those. I have adapted the original non-healthy recipe and made it my own.
  • 3/4 cup honey or maple syrup (or half & half!)
  • 2 tsp dry mustard
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cups avocado oil (maybe olive oil would taste fine too, but I've never tried it)
  • 3/4 cup vinegar- (I use apple cider vinegar) 
  • 2 tsp poppy seeds

Mix all but poppy seeds and blend well in the blender. Then add poppy seeds and mix gently.

Enjoy on a delicious bed of lettuce! :)

  This  scone recipe  is one of my most recent   favorite   finds! They are so easy & quick to make. And oh so good with a cup of coffee!

Ingredients: Scones: 2.5 cups Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 (I have only used this flour- I haven't tried any others.

Marinated Chicken Thighs

         This is one of my favorite, easiest meals! It's great for company, too. Each time I've made it someone has commented on it. It's even Whole30 friendly, and can be either baked in the oven or grilled. I love this with roasted sweet potatoes-Yum yum! Whole30 Marinated Chicken Thighs from Just Jessie B. If you'd like to see a picture, click on the link. I did not take one. :) Ingredients: 1 1/2- 2lbs Chicken Thighs For the Marinade: 1/4 cup olive oil 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 2 Tbsp coconut aminos (or soy/tamari sauce if you prefer) 1 Tbsp citrus juice (lemon, lime, or orange) 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 tsp minced garlic 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp onion powder pinch of red pepper flakes Directions: 1.

Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust

It's been over a year since I've posted a new recipe! I'd say it's about time. But you know how you have seasons of your life when you just make your tried and true recipes over and over again, and other seasons when it's so much fun to try something new? Well, pregnancy for me has definitely brought cooking down a notch, that's for sure. We've had a lot of comfort food around here lately, and things I know are good and wouldn't make me nauseous. Anyway- that to say, I only have 3 weeks until my due date for #3. I have a few recipes to share with you that we love before baby girl makes her arrival, but I can't promise a consistent update of new recipes.  So- back to our recipe for today. Homemade Pizza! This Crispy Paleo Pizza Crust is the best I've ever made, and it gets the crispiest, as long as you roll it out thin. But even if it's thick, we still love it. So make it how you love it! We had a Friday night pizza night where
