Creamy Mushroom Gravy

by Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s just because I’m a southern girl, but I think that a good batch of gravy is pretty much the best thing in the world. It’s so perfect and creamy and anything that you add it to instantly becomes “comfort food”. Biscuits and gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy, cornbread stuffing with gravy… It’s all warm, hearty and comforting and I love it.

Unfortunately for me, sugar is not my friend anymore, and I hate the feeling that I get after eating Nutella by the spoonful. So I decided to create this healthy version that is just as smooth and delicious….

Paleo Parmesan Cheese

I’m not sure about anyone else, but cheese has a special place in my heart. It’s a delicious, creamy, tangy food that compliments other food so well. In terms of dairy, cheese is the thing that I just can’t give up. I’ve tried so many different nut cheeses that simply do not deserve to be called “cheese”. Because of that I was super skeptical of trying out a paleo parmesan substitute….
