Um, Spiriteds, what’s gorgeous, delicious, sweet, and tart, all in the same recipe? Raspberry Coconut Fudge, that’s what! I promise there is an actual recipe in today’s post. But I honestly obsess over the COLOR of this fudge. Like, where am I even? Some English cottage, dining on a pinky-purple dessert of delights, and daintily sipping my tea from a delicate cup? Well, maybe not so dainty or so delicate, but you get the idea. I’ve had an apparent sweet tooth lately and decided Creamy Paleo ... continue reading...

Paleo Ginger Garlic Zoodles
Spiriteds, I won’t lie. I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about ginger and garlic together. I paired them for Paleo Pad Thai and loved the final result. But I typically like ginger in sweets. Would I like it again in a simple paleo zoodle recipe? The answer is a resounding YES!!! And, so, today I bring to you Paleo Ginger Garlic Zoodles. I was inspired by Fooduzzi’s Easy Ginger Garlic Noodles recipe and wondered, could I possibly paleo-ize this recipe and tailor it for our food allergy ... continue reading...
Gluten-Free Easy Cloud Dough
If you want a super-easy, hands-on activity for your preschooler (or maybe second grader), may I highly suggest Easy Cloud Dough? It is exactly like it sounds. Easy to make and easy to use in sensory play activities. It's also gluten-free! I have a confession, though. While I totally found a version of this in Asia Citro’s ridiculously amazing book 150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids, I managed a similar recipe WAAAAAY back in the day when Toodle was two. Back then, I didn’t even know “sensory ... continue reading...

Mixed Berry Sparkling Water
It’s possible I have been going a little crazy over here with the sparkling water recipes. I have no excuse, other than how delicious they are. And the fact that, as one IGer pointed out, sparkling water tastes better than regular water. It is certainly more exciting. However you feel about tap water, one thing is for sure. This Mixed Berry Sparkling Water recipe is all things TO DIE FOR. I was doing an impromptu Aldi run for terribly important things like blueberries and generic cola for ... continue reading...
Raspberry Lime Sparkling Water
Spiriteds, we’ve been immersing ourselves in sparkling water the last several recipes. If you are wondering what I'm talking about, then dive into Blackberry Lemon Sparkling Water and Blueberry Sparkling Water recipes. Because today we are diving into Raspberry Lime Sparkling Water. Like Strawberry Lime Sparkling Water, this recipe is delicious with fresh or frozen fruit. Frozen raspberries make excellent ice cubes in the middle of summer. And they melt into a tantalizing flavor. For added ... continue reading...
Strawberry Lime Sparkling Water
Spiriteds, we are in our third sparkling water recipe, and I must confess, this one was a toughy. Not because it isn’t delicious, but rather because strawberries are ubiquitous. They are in everything from smoothies to cakes to granola to alcoholic beverages. Thus, I thought it would be a breeze to throw this Strawberry Lime Sparkling Water recipe together. I was super wrong. Because although I love the strawberry, I am picky about what I pair it with. If you are the same, then keep ... continue reading...
Blueberry Sparkling Water
Spiriteds, have you every combined blueberries and ginger together for something amazing? And then mixed that combo in with some lime-flavored sparkling water? Because I totally did that recently, and basically blew my own socks off. Where has that combo/trio been all my life? My feet are firmly planted in summer right now, and I’m soaking up every sunny moment I can. Because this Iowa girl needs her sun wherever she can get it. However, when the weather starts to cool again, I will be finding ... continue reading...
Blackberry Lemon Sparkling Water
Get ready to pucker and rejuvenate! Today’s Blackberry Lemon Sparkling Water recipe is the perfect thirst-quenching drink for summer. It’s the I-don’t-need-to-drink-pop (can you tell which region I live in?) -and-it’s-too-hot-for-another-cup-of-coffee-but-I-want-a-pick-me-up beverage of choice. Spiriteds, have you discovered sparkling water? Is it in your lives already? Sparkling water was an acquired taste for me, brought on by epic summer get-togethers with a friend who always has some on ... continue reading...
Tropical Fruit Power Smoothie
There’s a little history behind today’s Tropical Fruit Power Smoothie. So settle in, Spiriteds. Because you know I can’t tell a short story. Every day for six years Mom put a tropical punch or fruit punch juice box in my lunchbox. By the time I got to lunch, the drink was warm. Six years, Spiriteds. Kindergarten through 5th. And for over 20 years afterward, I couldn’t drink anything that would resemble either of those beverages. K-Hubs and I would go to a wedding, and if the punch was that ... continue reading...
Paleo Avocado Soup
Happy Father’s Day, Spiriteds! Whether you are celebrating with a special dad today, cherishing the memory of a special dad, or reflecting on a complicated relationship, past or present, I’m with you. And I wish you enough today. I hadn’t planned on posting a recipe on Father’s Day, but scheduling made it so. And I had to laugh because although today’s post is about Paleo Avocado Soup, it was always going to be about K-Hubs, our resident slicer/dicer and calm in our Spirited storm. Because ... continue reading...
Paleo Greek Salad
A vegetable salad WITHOUT lettuce? Yes, they do exist. Okay, so that kind of salad isn’t exactly novel. But, this Paleo Greek Salad IS. It’s so novel and it doesn’t even know it. Red onion, cucumbers, olives (black or Kalamata will do), avocado, tomatoes, a homemade dressing, and not a single piece of lettuce in sight. Also, if you think cucumbers are the most boring vegetable in the history of the modern world, well, shut the front door, sit the heck down, and munch away on this salad. Because ... continue reading...
