Paleo Pink Lemonade

You won't find THIS rice pilaf in Athens or Mykonos! That's because it is made with cauliflower. A healthy alternative to potatoes or rice, no one will guess it is low-carb, grain-free, and Paleo.

My doctor requested an easy, healthy dark chocolate fudge. Well, here it is, luscious and so quick to make! If you're eating 75% chocolate thinking it's healthy, don't kid yourself.

Curried White Bean Dip, No Nightshades

Julia Child never dreamed of a soufflé this easy! Just blend and bake, no egg whites to beat. And Ohhh! The flavor!

I discovered that a blender makes a fine soufflé, so I put away my egg beater. This soufflé is not only ...

Paleo Sweet Potato Mini-Muffins

Today I had an irresistible craving for healthy muffins, not too sweet, with the rich flavor of sweet potatoes. I adore these for breakfast, snack, or dessert.

Sausage Stuffed Delicata Squash

Homemade sausage is easy, and far tastier than store-bought. It's quick to mix ground meat with herbs and spices. Spoon it into a squash and bake, for one of the easiest meals in town. And yummiest!
