My Heart Beets

Paleo Strawberry Shortcake

by 3 Comments

How adorable are these little strawberry shortcakes?! They’re a dessert that you can really feel great about eating. They’re very subtly sweet – with most of the sweetness coming from the strawberries themselves. This dessert is meant to be just sweet enough. At seven and a half months postpartum, I still have some “baby weight” to lose. I… Read More

4-ingredient Coconut Flour Biscuits

by 7 Comments

I’m sharing a recipe for 4-ingredient coconut flour biscuits with you today! Just as a preface, I’ve had one too many cups of coffee today, so excuse my goofy mood. In addition to feeling giddy (um, jittery?), I’m also in the mood to make lists. So you’ll see a few of those in today’s post.… Read More

Indian Bean Salad

by 8 Comments

This Indian bean salad is my go-to dish for all sorts of occasions. I’m calling this a salad, but it can easily be considered a “dip” if you serve it with tortilla chips! Here are several reasons why you should make this your go-to recipe too: It’s EASY to make. It’s filling. Just about everyone likes it.… Read More

Curried Tuna Salad

by 4 Comments

A truth about me: for as long as I can remember, I have always loved canned tuna. I was that little girl in grade school who didn’t realize that bringing canned tuna to lunch wasn’t the “cool” thing to do. And truthfully, even if some part of me did know that on some subconscious level –… Read More

Instant Pot Ground Beef Bulgogi

by 16 Comments

When I first posted my recipe for ground beef bulgogi, I had no idea how popular it would be! I figure that since it’s a blog reader favorite, it only makes sense for me to adapt it to be Instant Pot-friendly, so that you can have it ready to eat ASAP. For this version, I doubled the… Read More

Maple Sage Sausage Patties

by 6 Comments

Once you start making your own breakfast sausage, you’ll never want to buy it from a store again. Not only are organic/healthy store-bought sausage patties overpriced, they’re also nowhere near as good as homemade patties. Plus, making sausage patties is so easy! You can make a bunch, freeze them and enjoy them over time. Have I sold you on… Read More

Spicy Sage Ground Beef and Green Beans

by 1 Comment

I am always trying to find creative ways to use ground beef. It’s a protein that I almost always have in the fridge because it’s so easy to cook at the last minute. The only issue with ground beef is that it can be boring… unless you spice it up! That’s exactly what I’ve done with… Read More
