Paleo Pumpkin Pancakes

Pumpkin may seem a little overdone this time of year, but I’ll admit it: I’m one of those crazy pumpkin fanatics. I won’t put pumpkin in everything — but I’ll certainly try it in a whole lot of things! I love apple and other fall flavors too — I’m an equal opportunity fall treat lover — but there’s just something wonderful about the blend of pumpkin and cinnamon with a hint of nutmeg, ginger and…

Breakfast Sausage

I’m baaaack!!! Wow, it’s been way too long since I’ve posted a new recipe! But saying the past couple of months of my life has been a whirlwind would be the understatement of the year. Over the past couple of months, I accepted a new job in a new city (this opportunity was completely unexpected, by the way — it literally came to me), left the station I’ve worked at for the past seven years,…

Friday Favorites: Steve’s PaleoGoods

For all the talk about meat on a Paleo diet, it can be a challenge to find a good, clean beef jerky. Most have sugar or some other kind of additives in them that make them undesirable. (more…)

Piña Colada Smoothie

Smoothies are such a great way to start off a summer morning or enjoy a healthy snack on a hot afternoon. I don’t make smoothies that often, but sometimes they simply hit the spot when I want something light but satisfying. There are so many yummy smoothie possibilities, but in the summer I think it’s fun to use refreshing tropical fruits. I love most of them, but pineapple is my favorite. When I…

Strawberry Spinach Salad with Simple Balsamic Vinaigrette

Sweet Cinnamon Almond Butter

Before I started eating a real-food focused diet, the extent of my experience with nut butter primarily centered around peanut butter. I’d occasionally had some almond butter, but generally stuck to and preferred the peanut. (more…)

Apple Crisp in a Mug

One of the blessings and challenges of being single is that when I prepare a meal or a treat, I am generally the only person eating it. Sometimes that’s great. I’ll get multiple meals from leftovers or have a meal to freeze for a day when I need something quick. Or if I have something really, really good — I don’t have to share it. ;)

But when it comes to treats, single living can really…

Strawberry Granola Parfaits

It’s berry season! I *love* fresh berries! Strawberries and the month of May simply go together in my mind.

One of my all-time favorite quick treats is a bowl of strawberries with some whipped coconut cream on top. Easy, totally healthy and oh so refreshing!

The treat I’m going to share with you today is inspired by my love of berries and cream — and it’s perfect for Mother’s Day!

Salsa Meatloaf

I’ve posted several treat recipes lately and while they’re delicious and fun to make — they’re not the sole focus of this blog. So here comes another meal option!

This is the third meatloaf variety I’ve shared in the several months of For the Joy of Real Food’s existence, which may seem like a lot. But I’ve come to appreciate meatloaf for its simplicity, deliciousness and versatility — there…

Whipped Coconut Cream

Today I’m going to introduce you to a simple, yet delicious recipe that’s one of my favorites.

I love canned coconut milk and use it in a variety of ways in cooking and baking. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, I don’t mind having dairy on occasion, but I don’t use it all the time and coconut milk makes a great substitute.

But did you know it can solidify into a delightful cream? It does!…
