Super Easy Cinnamon Chicken (GAPS legal)
My family loves this chicken recipe! The best part about it? The BROTH that you can make after you’ve taken the meat off of the bones. Mmmmm! It is SO good to drink! It’s like cinnamon toast in a cup! 🙂 This is yummy paired with a sweet side dish, like sweet potatoes or butternut squash, or a spinach salad with a honey vinaigrette.

Greek Garlic Fries
I’m sorry to all of the GAPsters and Paleo people out there. Yes, I’m posting FRENCH FRIES. Well, Greek Fries! See, we went to an adoption conference up in Redmond, Washington back in February. I texted a friend to ask what we could eat in the area that was at least gluten free. She sent me the name of this restaurant, and recommended that we get the Garlic Fries and the Shish Tawook. We did, and ohmygoodness. I craved these fries after that one time trying them. We went up to the Snohomish/Lake Stevens area in April, so that my husband could sing at his old high school again. While we…

Pomegranate Curry Cod {GAPS, Paleo, Real Food!}
I wanted to create a dinner recipe that would be suitable for Valentine’s Day. This is it! The red pomegranate seeds and the pink salt make it a festive, lovely dish! The flavors are very good–who doesn’t love curry?!?! If you’re not into the idea of cutting up a pomegranate and squirting yourself in the eye (or squirting your ceiling like my friend Erin did to ours! Ahem! :)), then you can buy the pomegranate seeds in the refrigerated section at Trader Joes (and I’m sure other stores have them, too). Make sure to use pink salt! Use it on everything you serve on Valentine’s Day! Fried eggs & pink…
