This GAPS Hot Cocoa is our late-night beverage of choice even when we aren't doing GAPS. This rich, thick cup of Hot Cocoa is surprisingly sweet and leaves you feeling happy and satisfied, thanks to the high fat content and honey as a sweetener.

It's cold, rainy, or snowing and you don't want to use the grill. Maybe you're out of propane. Maybe you don't even have a grill. No worries! After making these Chicken Wings in your oven, you may never choose to grill them again. Oven-baked Chicken Wings are served in my house even more often than grilled now, thanks to the ease of cooking and the perfect crisp that results. Chicken Wings are one of the most flavorful cuts of chicken in my opinion, and additionally, Pasture-Raised Chicken Wings from small farms (like ours) are often more cost-effective than cuts like Chicken Breasts or Thighs.

Today, I'm excited to share a recipe that can take your family's pizza night to the next level. Kaitlyn recently found this recipe on the blog Tastes Better from Scratch. After devouring it ourselves, we decided that it was worth sharing with you. The recipe makes TWO 14" round pizzas! If that's too much, just halve the ingredients. We made our dough from scratch, but you could simplify the process by purchasing pre-made pizza dough.

This recipe has become my go-to for brunches or family supper nights! Yes, we frequently have breakfast for supper 😀

Kaitlyn made these drumsticks for our Fourth of July shindig this year and they were delicious! This recipe could be made using straight Sriracha or another hot sauce, but we mixed our Sriracha with mayonnaise to bring the level of spice down a notch for guests. Plan on 2-3 drumsticks per adult, and one per child.

This Oven-Baked Beef & Cheese Taquito recipe is simple and can be ready to eat in under 45 minutes. It makes 12 taquitos that can be served with toppings, but are also delicious on their own and easy to freeze and reheat for meals on-the-go. This recipe features grass-finished ground beef, but we've enjoyed making them with ground chicken too!

This Beef Barbacoa recipe was shared with us by Tracey at Big Picture Health, and we approve! "This traditional Mexican main dish is slow cooked using beef cheeks and brisket or goat meat. Try my version below using an electric pressure cooker to speed up the process and infuse Mexican flavors into every bite."

This egg casserole can be easily thrown together for a warm and cheesy breakfast! I (Kait) like to meal prep this for the week.

Shepherd's Pie, Shepards Pie, Cottage Pie - whichever you prefer to call it - is delicious. This recipe I shared has 3 steps: making the meat mixture, mashed potato topping, and putting the two together. And it's worth it. We make ours with Grass-Finished Ground Beef, but it could also be made with Ground Lamb as would be traditional for this dish.

Here's a simple recipe for Italian Meatballs using Ground Turkey and just four other staple ingredients. These meatballs are great by themselves, in spaghetti, and in our Italian Wedding Soup (link below.)

This is a delicious Italian Wedding Soup made with rice instead of pasta, significantly reducing the amount of gluten. You could omit the bread crumbs in the meatballs to make it 100% gluten-free if necessary. Fresh spinach is ideal, but we've also used frozen spinach when fresh is difficult to find.

This side dish is so good that I made it two nights in a row (and again on the weekend.) It's a quick and simple recipe that takes the classic potato to a whole new level. I'd made smashed potatoes before, but not like these. The term "crash hot potato" was new to me. It's the Australian term for these buttery golden potatoes.
