Dairy Free Green Bean Casserole makes the perfect vegetable-filled, nourishing side dish for winter! I’ve already got my eyes on my Thanksgiving menu, and this gluten free recipe is sure to make an appearance.

It’s not only dairy free — it’s gluten free, low carb, keto-friendly, paleo, and Whole30. So unless you’re a vegetarian or vegan (I topped it with bacon because DUH), this casserole fits all sorts of lifestyles while still providing those earthy, warm, comforting flavors that we tend to lean on for wintertime gatherings.

The older I get, the more I appreciate a cozy, comforting bowl or soup or stew like this slow cooker gumbo.

Paleo, Whole30, low carb, and keto-friendly, this crockpot gumbo simmers away all day to create a perfect amalgamation of spicy veggies, chicken thighs, and hot Italian sausage. One big bowl of this Louisiana classic, and you’ll be glad you’ve got a whole crock of leftovers ready to go for the next day!

Cool morning, sun rising, a hot cup of coffee, and a slice of paleo zucchini banana bread. Sounds like nirvana to me!

With a plethora of end-of-summer produce and craving chilly-weather comfort foods, welcoming fall with this recipe simply makes sense.

And here are the deets on this zucchini banana bread: it’s paleo, gluten free, low carb, and dairy free. Smear each slice with some homemade ghee for a real treat!

Crispy SunButter Chicken (Gluten Free)

The Crispy SunButter Chicken recipe and the accompanying post are sponsored by SunButter®! All opinions and experiences are my own.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve done it. Crispy SunButter Chicken, breaded, fried to perfection, and drizzled with a hard-to-resist nut free sauce.

Sound good to you? This recipe is inspired by a dish — Peanut Butter Chicken — that pops up at Chinese buffets in the Midwest (I know, I know … I typically only go to those kinds of restaurants when the in laws insist that’s where they want to grab dinner with us).

Frankly, that PB chicken is dang good, so I decided to make my own paleo-friendly and nut free version at home. Heck yes, we’re diving into one decadent recipe!

Italian Sausage and Broccoli Soup

I can’t think of a better way to warm up than a comforting bowl of Creamy Italian Sausage and Broccoli Soup.

With mornings and evenings steadily getting cooler and we inch towards fall, my spouse had just on request for me: can we eat more soup this year? For someone who resists eating veggies like a 3-year-old refusing broccoli at dinner, Tjay is sure willing to overlook his vegetable misgivings as long as they’re swimming in broth.

This dairy free soup recipe is gluten free, paleo, keto, and Whole30 friendly – gotta love those recipes that check a ton of boxes!
