recipes to share
We love food. And Candy has approached these recipes with simplicity in mind to share that love with you.
Each one takes an ancestral approach to ingredients. Some are paleo, come are keto, some are on the fringe depending how you practice paleo (dairy or no dairy for example). She’s also started selling all-natural almond and cashew butters! And she’ll even come cook for you in an Unwind and Dine!
We’d love to hear what you think about them and know what else you’re looking for on your journey!
Autumn Pumpkin Chili
Pumpkins are loaded with nutrients - B Vitamins, magnesium, calcium, potassium, Vitamin A and more. Great for a cozy night on the couch in the fall.
Chicken Salad
Who knew you could make mayo homemade?! This one is SO GOOD! Great for summer parties or weekly lunches. Protein - and no process! Winning!
pumpkin soup
Mmmm…this one again is loaded with nutrients, and is great for a party or a cold winter night. You can even freeze it and pull it back out for guests a few weeks later!
italian chicken vegetable soup
What distinguishes this soup? Turmeric. Resources suggest turmeric serves as an anti-inflammatory and strong antioxidant. Add that to the yummy veggies included = winner!
Meatballs
She’s done it! This meatball offers a way to introduce liver without being able to taste it! For breakfast, lunch or dinner, these are filled with protein and all the nutrients liver has to offer!
Sweet potato and beet soup
When I adjusted my nutrition to ancestrally rich food, I found it imperative I have root vegetables to curb the sugar cravings. Sweet potatoes and beets have been two satisfying additions.
tuscan egg bake
I’ve experimented with all kinds of breakfast options. This one is a winner. Make ahead. Freeze. Healthy, fulfilling breakfast at the office every morning = winning!
Pumpkin Zucchini Almond Bites
I had my doubts, but what a way to create a fall favorite with healthy ingredients. If you love pumpkin cookies, these aren’t the powdered sugar type, but even our sugar loving Mom LOVES these!
Blue Cheese & Parmesan Turkey Burger
A perfect summer bbq recipe - for those doing keto or those who simply love to eat! No condiments necessary, but delicious with avocado and tomato!
tuscan spaghetti squash
Vitamin C, K, Folate, Magnesium, I could go on. Artichokes are powerhouses with nutrients. Pasta doesn’t have the same appeal after experimenting with spaghetti squash.
salmon patties
I questioned it too! But yes, these are fabulous. Honestly, they are good for any meal of the day. It’s recommended a fatty fish like salmon is included in your diet at least three servings per week.
Acorn squash and carrot soup
A fall heart and home warmer. Packed with micronutrients from Vitamin B to manganese, this is a crowd pleaser!
Dill Dip
This has been a family favorite for years. Now we make the mayo from scratch instead of buying it and we use farm fresh eggs! You can use it as a dip or a dressing for a healthier fat.
Guacamole
Great with a lettuce wrap or if you’re up for chips an excellent addition! Avocados are a beautiful source of healthy fat for the body and look great at parties.
Garlic herb crockpot chicken
If you’re looking for a versatile chicken recipe, this is it! You can eat it by itself, on a salad, in a soup, on a lettuce wrap, however you use shredded chicken it’s adaptable! Bonus: Garlic is rich in Vit C, B6 and manganese.
Blueberry Almond Butter Bites
Protein. Vitamin E. Potassium. Magnesium. Almonds pack a punch and are a great alternative to the legume (peanut) butter we normally reach for! Tastes just like a blueberry muffin!
King cups
These are a keto friendly “buckeye/peanut butter ball.” Named after Mr. King who daily challenges us to experiment with keto and Paleo friendly recipes. These freeze really well!
Coconut cashew rounds
We discovered these after trying to reproduce Aldi’s cashew crisps. They aren’t quite the same, but terrific for quenching a sweet tooth in a healthy way!
Cashew Butter Cookies
Imagine the peanut butter cookies you used to make as a kid - but a version that doesn’t leave you feeling lethargic and sugar laden after eating them!
Roasted beet quinoa salad
If you’re looking for friendly carbs with a root veggie, this is your recipe. The combination of flavors is like a party to your senses. It gets even better after sitting overnight in the fridge!
Power Bites
These make for a great fast snack when you need protein and bit of sweet. They are a beautiful blend of texture and taste for any time of day!
Pumpkin Cookies (vegan)
I know. I doubted them too since I’m not vegan - but these are so tasty! They taste like autumn and are perfect for a fall day! Give ‘em a go! You won’t regret it.
No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Cups
These are a great small treat that freeze well! It’s not your normal round cheesecake - which is what we like!
Almond Flour Drop Biscuits
These are a take on Red Lobster’s cheese rolls. And they are so versatile - and freezable! Enjoy!
