Paleo Cranberry Flax Stuffing with a Grain-free Bread Recipe
Christmas is a week away (as if you need a reminder) and you need a new stuffing recipe. Yes, you do. If you’re like most of the folks out there, including myself, you’ve done the same thing year after year, relied on the same recipes for the holidays… it’s time to spice things up!
3 Ingredient Chocolate Turtles
My Dad’s love for the caramel filled, pecan bottom, chocolate covered treat, otherwise known as the Nestlé Turtle, runs deep. Not as deep as his love for jujubes, but pretty close. It’s tradition that Dad get a box of Turtles every single Christmas. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember. Even…
Saturday Scenes: Family is Everything
Spending this last week and a half with my family has easily been the best Christmas present I’ve received this year. Heck, maybe even the best ever.

No bake Vegan Cranberry Cheesecake Squares
We made vegan cream cheese and now we’re going to do something awesome with it. Are you ready? It’s one of my favorite dairy-free recipes to date! You’re going to start by making a walnut-based crust. It’s just four ingredients, none of which are dried fruit. As much as I love the no bake crusts…

Everything Christmas: Last Minute Crafts + Recipes
I couldn’t go without sharing some of the festive crafts and recipes that I’ve been collecting over the past few months. That, and we got to the airport way too early this morning which has left me with plenty of time to dream of Christmas feasts and crafting parties. Is there such a thing as…
