These dairy-free mashed potatoes are super creamy, don’t use any unusual ingredients, and are paleo, vegan and Whole30-friendly. Let me start by saying that if you can have dairy and don’t want to follow the recipe below, use: Butter instead of coconut oil. You can also use more butter in place of the olive oil […]

First off, let me start by saying no, I do not know how to slice a loaf of bread.  And yes I get made fun of because of that fact quite frequently. It’s a bit of a sore subject, so let’s move on… I have a thing for muffins.  OK, so I also have a […]
