I was a little kid when I first tried caramel, and I’ve been in love ever since. With caramel, that is. I try to eat healthy and avoid candy and all that stuff and blah blah blah… but when caramel is present I’m pretty sure wild horses couldn’t keep me from it. Come to think…
AIP Orange Macaroons
Just when I think I can’t come up with another recipe that uses coconut, I come up with one. It’s basically my superpower. Like this: “It’s a bird!! It’s a plane!! No… IT’S…….. COCONUT RECIPE GIRL!!” Basically my identity without exaggeration. Anyway, you know what goes great with coconut? Everything. Obviously. But also oranges. I…
AIP Strawberry Shortcake
During this season my mom always brings home lots of delicious and nutritious berries from the store when she shops each week. We love them for snacks and such, but if you’ve ever had a ton of beautiful red strawberries in your fridge you know they just sit there and basically beg you to cook…
AIP Waffles
This is one of those posts that I made the recipe, took photos, edited everything, and then went to Paleo f(x) and forgot about the recipe. I rediscovered it in my post drafts and had to get it posted; these waffles are amazing! These easy waffles are a great intro to cooking with plantains as…
Honey Lemon Paleo Gummy Bears
This recipe is in honor of my beautiful and wonderfully supportive mother. She absolutely loves gummy candy, and her favorite is gummy bears. Basically my mom eats Paleo Plus Gummy Bears. (There’s a diet book idea!!) My mom has also been growing our her hair, so she’s been trying to get more gelatin and collagen…
Mango Strawberry Kale Smoothie
Note: This is a sponsored post written for Perfect Supplements. All opinions and writings are my own. While we’re still getting a few chilly days here, spring has sprung in southern Wisconsin. And you know what that means; fresh berries and tropical fruits are appearing in the produce section! Warmer weather definitely screams smoothies, and…
Paleo Lemon Brownies
I was perusing through Pinterest the other day (so productive – lol) and I saw a pin that would change my life. Well, not really, but this was a very important pin. It was a picture of what the blog post author called “lemon brownies.” They were of course made with wheat flour but they…
AIP Apple Cinnamon Mini Muffins
There’s been a revelation in the world of AIP baking, and I cannot take credit for it. Rebecca from Lichen Paleo, Loving AIP has a recipe for No-Nut Tigernut Spread (aka homemade AIP nut butter). I was a little skeptical but I had to try making it because I knew it would be totally awesome…

AIP Banana Muffins (paleo, vegan)
I’ve made many, many versions of AIP banana muffins before I came up with the perfect recipe. But it was worth it; these delicious muffins are fluffy and soft and they rise and cook through and everything! Plus there’s no gelatin involved, so they’re vegan too! The secret to the amazingness of these muffins is plantain…
AIP Lemon Scones
I love lemon in any form. When I was little my grandma would make lemon loaf cake. Lemonade was always my jam. Now I like lemon water, but I thought I’d mix it up a little and make scones! These amazing scones are egg-free but you’d never know it. They’re luscious and lemony with a…
AIP Banana Bread Doughnuts
I’m not even sure that I need to say anything about this recipe. But because I’m told it’s good for search engines, here goes: These AIP banana bread doughnuts with creamy frosting are DA BOMB and you definitely cannot tell that they are free of grains, nuts, seeds, and (drumroll please)… EGGS! These fluffy doughnuts…
AIP Sugar Cookies
I have the best memories of making whole-wheat sugar cookies with Grandma before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I loved to eat the dough; so yummy! Last year I made some almond flour sugar cookies that were so delicious. This year though, I know that so many people can’t eat nuts, eggs, or seeds….
AIP Paleo Apple Cider Doughnuts
My dad and I were having a discussion last night about what food we would eat if we could be magically cured of gluten sensitivity. It didn’t take long at all for us both to decide that the food we would eat would be fresh apple cider doughnuts from the apple orchard. This is not…
AIP Pancakes
It’s taken me a long time to get this recipe right. I’ve had to throw away piles of mushy batter dozens and dozens of times in my attempts to make AIP pancakes. But I kept on trying because I am just that motivated. Or stubborn. Probably stubborn. Whatever the case, I finally did it….
AIP Brownies
See that picture? Those are AIP brownies. This is the 5th brownie recipe that I’m posting on the blog. And guess what: I’m not sorry. Not even a little. Why? Because brownies are awesome. But also because I want everyone to be able to eat brownies. I’ve got a brownie recipe for you if you’re…
