Lemon Prosciutto Toast

A Weekend Toast. But seriously. Toast. This Toast. I made it twice in a row cause it was so mind-blowingly delicious. I know what you’re thinking… Yea, yea. Avocado toast. It’s tasty, but how great can it be? Trust me. It’s great. Also, I would encourage the fried prosciutto step. Don’t skip it. Prosciutto is…

Sourdough Herb Stuffing

Last year was my inaugural attempt at hosting Thanksgiving dinner. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it was pretty dang successful. One of the reasons for that was this stuffing. Or maybe it should be called “dressing” because it didn’t actually get stuffed into anything. I’m not sure what the correct…

Lemon Rosemary Deviled Eggs

This past weekend was the Easter holiday and I was very happy to host some friends and their adorable baby girl for brunch! I love all things breakfast, especially when they include sweets! Our guests were kind enough to bring some incredible gluten-free cookies to share. To break up all the cookie eating, we also…

Lemony Greek Quinoa Salad

I don’t typically post a lot of grain-friendly recipes on this site, but I choose to include a few because I always want to support clean, nutritious, whole-food eating regardless of our respective “diets”. Some people just really jive with a more vegan/vegetarian approach and there are a bunch of great meal possibilities for you plant-based folks! Here’s one of them that…

Olive Oil Lemon Muffins

I don’t bake with Olive Oil too often, but this recipe was just begging for it! Despite the use of coconut flour which can make baked goods pretty dense and oftentimes dry, these muffins come out luscious and moist due to the addition of the olive oil. They are also incredibly nourishing due to their…

Bacon Breakfast Sausage with Apple Balsamic Glaze

You’re at your favorite breakfast spot, ordering your usual breakfast plate and the server asks you that ubiquitous breakfast question, “Bacon or sausage?”. Was there ever a more difficult decision? I mean, bacon is delicious. We all know that. But breakfast sausage is pretty enticing as well. I say don’t choose, just have both! I…

Lemon-Walnut Pesto with Zucchini Noodles

I’ve been obsessed with vegetable noodles lately. They’re fast and easy and light! They also take any sort of sauce and make it wayyyy more exciting. Lamb Ragu and veggie noodles, curry meatballs and veggie noodles, basil cream and… you guessed it, VEGGIE NOODLES! Fortunately, us Grain-Free types have a multitude of alternatives when it…

Greek Salad with Lemon Mustard Dressing

This weekend was FANTASTIC.   I’ll break it down for you. My husband’s brother is getting married this coming weekend. This last weekend was the bachelor party. Which meant I was home alone Friday through Sunday. What did I do with the alone time? Pretty much anything I wanted. Friday night I went to yoga,…

Lemon Goji Cookies

Aren’t they cute?! I’m definitely on a cookie “kick” these days. Which is funny because I’m not a very “cookie” kind of person. I think it’s because they are a simple and inexpensive way to contribute to a party, give as gifts, etc… Not to mention that when I attend a holiday gathering full of…
