Alright, alright, so maybe it hasn’t quite yet won these accolades, but, I can assure you that this was pretty much out of control good. I never could imagine that lasagna could be edible if you took out the two most important ingredients: noodles and cheese. But alas, not only was it edible it was incredible! I hope you’ll agree!!!

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family. After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still a lot of junk in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo,, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes. You can find Jennifer at her blog, Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest.
