Healthy Food for the Troops – How We Can Help

March 26, 2012

As a military wife, I’m concerned about the foods our troops receive while deployed. Because the food often travels thousands of miles, it can be full of preservatives, additives, coloring, sugars – the list goes on. It can be a challenge for our troops to eat a nourishing diet while protecting our country. Instead of [...]

There’s a lot going on in the background here at Deliciously Organic. We’re constantly testing recipes, taking photos, editing, and doing further reading and research.

Apple, Cherry and Blueberry Crisp

February 29, 2012

  At the edge of each season, I start fixating on what’s to come. Warmer weather, cooler weather, the leaves changing, cold winds.

  Life’s moving a bit too fast for our family lately. Deadlines, school studies, and my husband’s endless hours at work led us all to exhaustion and a bit of frustration.

Granola Bars (Grain Free, Paleo, Gluten Free, Gaps)

Coconut Hot Chocolate with Almond Whipped Cream

We often discuss organic, unprocessed foods in our house. As I learn, I’ve made a point to share with my kids so they can make healthy choices for themselves. My youngest daughter is 9 years old and has become pretty passionate about eating unprocessed foods. She regularly declines food at

Coconut Bars

I love the versatility of coconut. The water in the middle of the fruit is full of electrolytes and makes for a refreshing drink. The meat can be dried and flaked to make any number of dishes. The dried meat can also be powdered for flour, or the oil can be pressed out for coconut oil. [...]

Dark Chocolate Cream Tart

January 10, 2012

Chocolate pies and tarts are always welcome at our table. Almost every birthday or holiday comes comes accompanied with a chocolate filling, cookie crust, and billows of whipped cream. For our holiday celebration a few weeks ago, we wanted to keep eating grain-free, but still enjoy our chocolate and cream dessert. I played with the [...]

We are off to be with family for the holidays, but I wanted to share one last recipe before Christmas. A moist, sweet gingerbread cake filled with the flavors of cinnamon, ginger, molasses, and topped with billows of freshly whipped cream. Positively delightful. Merry Christmas!

Eggnog (Dairy Free, Paleo, Primal)

December 19, 2011

As a kid, I looked forward to the eggnog my mom would buy at our local grocery store. My brothers and I would sprinkle it with nutmeg and drink the thick sweet liquid while listening to Christmas music.
