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…
Bao / Pork Buns
Last year Lion and Bear fell in love with the animated film Abominable. They love the adorable Yeti, the great music, fun characters, and of course – the scenes of Yi’s grandmother Nai Nai in the kitchen making pork buns! Almost from the very first viewing Lion has been asking if we can have pork…
Seitan 2 ways
I have recently (in the last year or so) discovered seitan whilst going through a divine cookbook Mostly Plants by the Pollan family. After reading the cookbook cover to cover I diligently placed markers into all the recipes I wanted to try first! This particular recipe was number one on my list – and let…
Bears Winter Stew
With fall settling over us, and winter quickly approaching, it feels like it’s time to start making and enjoying warm slow cooked meals. Today Bear and Lion wanted to help cut and cook – and I wanted to take adorable pictures of them cutting and cooking – so we decided on Bears Winter Stew. Plenty…
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…
Pesto Presto!
Today in the Wee Laird’s Kitchen we took a little culinary trip to one of my favorite places – Italy! I have made pesto many times over the years – with many variations on the traditional pesto recipe – but Lion’s recipe today might just be one of my favorites. Simple, quick, and super delicious!…
Banana Nice Cream with Strawberries and Dark Chocolate
I must admit, I love traditional ice cream, heck I love just about all dairy products. However, I know having excess amounts of sugar and heavy cream isn’t the best thing for you. That’s why I love this recipe! It has all the wonderful satisfying qualities of a great ice cream with so much less…
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 –…
