Paleo and Primal Pumpkin Recipe Roundup

October 1, 2013 · 1 Comment

Happy first day of October! Can you believe we’re in the last quarter of the year? I sure cant. 2013 is speeding by and will be gone before we know it. Since most of us are getting into Fall baking, especially with pumpkin, I’m bringing you my roundup of delicious pumpkin recipes today. But these aren’t just any pumpkin recipes, they’re all Paleo or Primal recipes! Once you start scrolling through the pictures you’ll think I’m lying, but I swear I’m not. They’re all grain and refined sugar free, and only a couple of them call for butter, which can easily be swapped out for coconut oil if you don’t do dairy.

You’ll definitely be seeing a few of these on my blog soon.

Pumpkin Spice Creamer

September 14, 2013 · 5 Comments

How do you like your coffee? Usually I just add plain creamer to mine, decaf please. But when the cooler weather of Fall sets in, and the holidays along with it, I like to get a little festive and use flavored creamers instead. We’re enjoying some beautiful Fall like temps in Southern Indiana right now. That, along with all of the delicious pumpkin recipes that are starting to show up on blogs, put me in the mood for some pumpkin spice creamer.

No-Mato Pizza Sauce

Remember that awesome tomato free No-Mato Sauce I shared with you a few days ago? Today I’m going to show you how to turn that awesomeness into a pizza sauce, and it couldn’t be easier!

I cant rave about the basic sauce enough. For those who are allergic to tomatoes, or get severe heartburn after eating them, the sauce that this recipe starts out with is almost a blessing. The more I experiment with it, the more amazed I am. I’ve made spaghetti sauce out of it, and now pizza sauce so far. I’m still experimenting with bbq sauce and ketchup, but I know they’ll be fantastic as soon as I get the seasoning part perfected. I have all kinds of recipes running through my head, tomato-free chili, salsa, soup, zucchini lasagna… the possibilities are endless.

No-Mato Sauce ~ Tomato Free Pasta Sauce

September 4, 2013 · 10 Comments

You heard that right, a sauce that mimics tomato sauce, but without any tomatoes. I didn’t believe it either when I first found the recipe, but after making it I’m happy to say that it is possible.

Let me back up a little and explain how my quest for a tomato-less sauce came about. For years I’ve suffered from GERD’s. The medical term for heartburn. Not just any heartburn though, I’m talking the severe stuff. So bad that I’ve been on the strongest prescription medication they have for it for the last 6 years. Even with medication though I still suffered. Since going gluten free, I have greatly reduced my heartburn, but still had flare-ups. After starting a food journal about a month ago, I am finally starting to pinpoint the foods that give me the most trouble. Unfortunately one of them is tomatoes, one of my absolute favorite foods.
