Some of you may already know that I home school our kids. There are a number of reasons we have chosen to go this route, but in the interest of saving time and not boring you, I won't go into them in too much detail right now. One big reason why we pulled our kids out of school was because one of our children was exhibiting "A.D.D.-like" behavior. His teacher at the time told me she "didn't want to scare me" but that she saw many signs pointing to Attention Deficit Disorder in our child. Now ... continue reading...
Olive-Stuffed Sausage
I adapted this recipe from the Paleo Comfort Foods cookbook. I am not a fan of green olives, but for some reason, when they're wrapped in sausage they strike my fancy! I made these for a snack the other day for the kids and I. They all approved. *Note to self (and anyone else who may not think about things thoroughly all the time...): Make sure you buy pitted green olives--these are hard to eat when you have to munch around a pit! The first time I made these, I made that mistake. The ... continue reading...
Homesteading Fun: Homemade Candles!
These were so fun to make, and a great simple Christmas gift for friends or family. First, I bought microwaveable soy wax (hey, soy is good for something!).

No-cook Chocolate pudding…Paleo style!
I'll be the first to admit it. Sometimes I crave chocolate. Ok, I often crave chocolate. And if there were a Kit Kat or Whatchamacallit sitting next to me, I would probably cave. So I don't have any of that stuff in our house. I know my weaknesses! I created this recipe over the summer when I was craving something chocolatey. It's so simple it's almost wrong. No-cook chocolate pudding? Yes, please! No-cook ... continue reading...
Choconut Macadamia Peppermint Bark
I was reminiscing of ol' holiday treats, and wondering if it would be possible to create a cleaner version of one of my personal favorites...peppermint bark. Thanks to a genius basic recipe from Mark's Daily Apple, I was able to recreate a delicious substitute that every single person in our family loved! This recipe made a 9x9 square pan, which actually ended up being plenty for the 7 of us. It took us a few days to finish off, even though part of me wanted to eat the whole thing in one ... continue reading...
