Lion and I took a few minutes this week to whip up some delicious zucchini bread muffins. I absolutely love to have these for on the go breakfasts and snacks throughout the week. While we don’t have sweet breads or muffins on the counter for breakfasts all the time – having them every once in…

Carrot Cake – Semi Homemade
Lion and I made this special little treat earlier in the year but somehow I never got around to posting. So – it’s a bit late, but still delicious. This carrot cake is fabulous dressed up with cream cheese frosting for nicer occasions. As well as delicious as a morning muffin warmed in the toaster…
Puffed Buckwheat Treat Bars
Today I thought it might be fun to make a healthy-ish treat with my two wee lairds. Bear and Lion were getting a bit restless and starting to pick at each other so I figured I better come up with an activity fast. What better activity than cooking!?! You get to measure, scoop, stir, get…
Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies
Today Lion and I took advantage of nap time to try a new recipe we found online. Our quest for a new recipe came after going through the pantry and realizing we have a very large bag of almond flour we need to use up. A quick google search of “almond flour cookies” gave us…
Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
What’s better after a long (unintentional) break from blogging than….COOKIES!?! I spend a fairly decent amount of time attempting to plan, prep, and execute healthy meals. Some days I am successful – other days we have breakfast for dinner, or brinner as we call it. With all of this planning, prepping, stressing, moderately successful executions…
Grammie J’s Thanksgiving Sweet Potatoes

Slow cooked alongside a roast. Yum, yum, and oh yeah…yum! But there is something special about the candied sweet potato pies, casseroles,…
Lion’s Cooking Show
If we are being honest we already have a version of this recipe on the blog – but Lion really wanted me to make a video of him making these muffins. What can I say – as long as the kitchen is in tolerable order I’m generally happy to make a mess of it cooking…
Grammie’s Pumpkin Bread
This wonderful pumpkin bread recipe is traditional in the fall but honestly I love it so much I don’t like waiting until the fall to make it. If you’ve got roasted pumpkin in your freezer from last falls harvest, or your local market has canned pumpkin available, you can whip up this delicious crowd pleaser…
Grain Free Breakfast Muffins
Bear and Lion are back in the kitchen whipping up some delicious breakfast confections this morning. To be honest I tried out this recipe last week to make sure it worked and to make sure the baking times were correct. After making a few adjustments to the original recipe we landed on this version –…
