My Favorite Blueberry Recipes

I am on my last few pints of blueberries for the season and this makes me VERY SAD! I have been spoiled for the past few years to be able to pick fresh blueberries from my MIL’s bushes!  Nothing’s better than eating them right off the bush! (No, pesticides are used so don’t worry!) Here…

Blueberry Power Shake

One of my favorite fruits is blueberries!  I hope you enjoy this yummy and healthy shake!  This is one of the ways that I get my daily dose of gelatin and coconut oil in my diet!  My 2-year-old son LOVES this shake, and I feel good that he is drinking something so healthy! About the…

German Chocolate Cake (Grain-Free)

Four months ago (and 9 months pregnant), I began to work on this recipe.  Apparently I teased many of you with the thought and picture of this recipe! I apologize!  😉 I promise it was worth the wait. At last, I am posting MY version of German Chocolate Cake! This is basically two cakes in one.…

REAL Watermelon Jell-O

Summer is here!!  In Louisiana that means heat, humidity and Watermelons!!  Washington Parish has some of the sweetest! (Yes, Louisiana has parishes not counties… weird I know)! Watermelon is one of my favorites, and I always anxiously await its arrival every Summer! Unfortunately, I could eat my weight in watermelon, so I often skip out…

Shrimp & Sausage Creole (Stew)

Crawfish are one of my favorite foods!  We live a few miles from an awesome restaurant where they serve boiled crawfish new orleans so my husband usually picks up crawfish a few times a month.  I normally just peel, devein and cook them in butter.  Then I finish them off with my Cajun seasoning and…

Homemade Chicken & Bone Broth

Chicken Stock going into the Freezer! Once you have had homemade stock, you will NEVER buy the canned or carton stuff again!! The bones and tissues of many types of animal may make good bone broth. Bone broth also contains other important nutrients, especially minerals, derived from these tissues. This may make bone broth a…

Watermelon Popsicles

I love watermelon but I find myself overeating it when given the opportunity!  My solution??  Make popsicles!  This is a great way to use up any extra watermelon so you don’t feel pressured to eat it all so hat it’s not wasted. This is a “No-Recipe, Recipe” meaning you could do this with any fruit or…

Fourth of July Cupcakes (The BEST Cupcakes EVER!)

This is not a new recipe but it is a great one!  These cupcakes are my FAVORITE and I actually prefer the dairy-free version using coconut milk and coconut oil.  The slight coconut taste makes these a big hit!  When selling foods at the Farmer’s Market, everyone LOVED these tiny treats! To check sweetness of…

Chocolate Dessert Pizza

At last, the Dairy-Free and Chocolate counterpart to the Dessert Pizza I posted last week!  I am not sure which one I like better! This is my first time making my “Sugar” Cookie (from the Cookbook), Dairy-Free.  The only change I made was using less fat or in this case, virgin coconut oil.  This made…

Happy Fourth of July….Dessert Pizza

This recipe will not disappoint!  Once again I am pulling out another “treasure” from the Satisfying Eats Cookbook!  This “Sugar” Cookie recipe is delicious and turning it into a crust was so easy! Feel free to use any fruit you would like or arrange the berries in any pattern. I thought the flag pattern would…

Blueberry Coffee Cake (Blueberry Buckle)

It’s that time of year, blueberry season!!  I am so blessed to have unlimited blueberries for the months of June and July!  My mil has 2 HUGE bushes (over 10 feet tall) that she graciously lets me help myself too!  This recipe is a great way to enjoy yummy blueberries! I also wanted to post…

Crock Pot Spaghetti Squash

This is a public service announcement!  Today, I watched a YouTube video of a blogger showing her fellow readers (viewers) how to cook a spaghetti squash and I couldn’t even finish watching the 3 minute video because I couldn’t tell if she was about to cut her hand off trying to cut through the hard,…

Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries

As most of you know, I have had a rough week. Not sure if it was a demonic stomach bug, foodbourn illness or what, but it was 7 days ofmisery!  I am feeling much better today, just getting my energy back and catching up on house work so not a lot of time to cook.…

Flavored Coconut Milks

I haven’t bought almond milk in over 2 months now.  Really not a whole lot of nutrients in it and lots of other ingredients that I don’t want to consume!  Trying to simplify my “diet” right now!  I have really enjoyed making my own homemade coconut milk and using it to create these naturally flavored Coconut…
