Great Grandma's Meat Pies

-





This recipe is dedicated to my great-grandmother who perfected this recipe. If she were here now, I’m sure she would have loved me sharing it with you guys!
So first of all, where does time go? It feels like yesterday that school was out and I was writing posts about summer recipes, and the next thing I know it’s time to get the books out again. Isn’t that crazy? Now it’s time to bring on the fall recipes!
Anyway, I’m putting a twist on one of my favorite family recipes: Meat pies. Oh my goodness! It’s heaven on a plate! šŸ˜€
Chicken wrapped in fresh dough and topped with slice of  garden-fresh tomato. What could be better than that? And a bonus is that the dough recipe is gluten free. That recipe once again happens to be a great one from my friend Hayley of Health Starts In The Kitchen (you can see it here!). Even though I’m not a Paleo or gluten free person,  I must tell you again to go check out this blog. The blog is updated regularly so there’s always something new for you to try out. 
So let’s break out the meat pies. The first bite and you’ll be blown away just like I was! 
Note: Even though I made my dough from scratch, any simple drop biscuit recipe will do.
Great Grandma's Meat Pies

You know how they say that you learn something new every day? Well, I just did! Every time I visit my good friends over at Bountiful Farms , I'm always learning something new about the produce that they grow. Over the course of time that I've been visiting them, I've learned a lot  about the food we eat, and I'm going to share some that recent knowledge with you today. On my latest visit to the farm, I was educated on a new type of vegetable that I'm going to talk to about in today's post. And that veggie on the agenda is... Winged beans!

My Favorite AIP "Cheese"

Every once in awhile, there comes a recipe that you make and it just blows you off your feet. Today I'm going to share with you an AIP-friendly, nut free and dairy free recipe that did just that! It's a short post, but I just got to get the word out there about how great this is. One day I was exploring for a unique and creative recipe to use some zucchini we had leftover. Where we live, we get great zucchinis all year round, so it definitely means incorporating them in a lot of different dishes. When I wasn't sure what to make, I happened to stumble across a recipe for "cheese" made out of zucchinis from a blogger I love called A Squirrel In The Kitchen . If you haven't been to her blog, please take a quick trip over to her and check out some of her recipes. Sophie is an autoimmune warrior and passionate foodie, and she makes some really delicious recipes. This one, and many others, are perfect for anyone looking for an AIP-compliant recipe to try.

So if you're ever in their area, make sure you stop in and grab some. Today I'm going to be telling you about another unique vegetable you can use in your dishes. In the past I told you about the interesting use of romanesco, but today's veggie that I'm bringing into the spotlight is cone cabbage! For this post, I'm going to give you a brief description about it and its nutrition, and then show you a recipe you can make using it. So let's get started, shall we? What is Cone Cabbage?

It's cone-shaped (obviously) and has a remarkably sweet flavor to it. This cabbage variety is perfect shredded to make coleslaw and sauerkraut, and also pairs perfectly with
