The cool taste of peppermint patties always brings back memories of being a little girl and grocery shopping with my mother. I’ve always been domestically inclined, and when I was only 4 or 5 I enjoyed “helping” my mother do the family grocery shopping each week. After the food for our family of five was…

Hi friends! I am so exciting to be here guest posting for Heather today. I’ve got a delightful treat to share with you, and it’s perfect for Thanksgiving. Enter: Pecan Pumpkin Caramel Bars. The bottom layer is a crunchy pecan pie crust, topped with a pumpkin “caramel” filling, and doused in a rich chocolate ganache….
Paleo Pumpkin Doughnuts (egg-free) + Cook It Up Paleo name change
It’s good to be typing up a blog post again after being MIA for such a long while. I’ve got some announcements that I’m super excited to share with you guys, so I’ll just jump right into it – I remember the days when I started blogging and the Paleo movement was just a baby….
AIP Coconut Caramel Cookie Bars
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…
Paleo Peppermint Bark
I am so excited for Christmas!! Seriously though I’m feeling very self-righteous right now because I’ve got my Christmas shopping nearly done. That’s definitely not normal for me; usually I’m just starting shopping now. But enough about me let’s talk about peppermint bark! I love chocolate, both dark and white, and this combo of the…
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream – paleo, vegan, low carb
I just realized that I am posting an ice cream recipe in October. Kinda rebellious since the weather is cooling down, but that’s how I roll. Because who doesn’t want to sit inside as the trees turn yellow and red and chow down on deliciously creamy mint chocolate chip ice cream? Plus this recipe is…
Paleo Vegan Pumpkin Mini Muffins
It’s October. Which means one thing. PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!! I mean I’m sure October means other things too. But right now it just means pumpkin, because it’s my blog and I make the rules. Ok now that that’s established, let’s talk about these pumpkin muffins shall we? That’s a rhetorical question. We’re talking about pumpkin…
Paleo Skillet Peach Crisp
So it’s confession time: When I see ripe and delicious fruit sitting on our counter, what do you think I see? A healthy paleo afternoon snack with a dollop of almond butter? HAHA no. I see dessert. Not as in I’m so healthy I eat fruit as dessert, but I see the muffin or cake…
Paleo Chocolate Coconut Date Caramel Candies
I’m dealing with some guilt right now. Why? Because this post has been sitting in the archives in my blog post drafts for weeks. Now that kind of thing happens a lot, but this is CHOCOLATE COCONUT PALEO CARAMEL SLICE. Please forgive the all caps, this is just that important. I actually feel like I’ve…
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…
Paleo Chocolate Protein Bars
Sometimes I find paleo products that I just love to use in everything; one of them is of course cassava flour and my two new obsessions are all the Date Lady products and Vital Proteins’ new collagen whey protein powder; both are so versatile and amazing! These amazing chocolate protein bars combine the Date Lady…
Paleo No Bake Brownies
So something momentous happened a couple of days ago that has nothing to do with brownies. And actually it has nothing to do with me. Well actually it sort of does. But not really. Heather, quit babbling and tell me what it is! Ok fine, if you’re going to be like that. My little sister,…
Paleo Strawberry Ice Cream (dairy-free, coconut-free, egg-free)
Wisconsin is Amish-central, and we have an Amish farmer right down the road who grows fresh strawberries. They’re juicy, sweet, delicious, and make supermarket strawberries seem like wax imitations of the real thing! My family love ice cream, and when I made this super-simple recipe for them, it was gone within just a couple of…
Paleo Protein Brownies (egg and nut-free)
Let’s talk about big words. Here’s a ton of big words: “My sufficiency has been serensified. Any more would be obnoxious to my superfluity.” Apparently this is something that my grandparents say occasionally when they don’t want any more food; we found this out on a recent vacation we went on with them. I now…
Egg Free Paleo Pancakes (low-carb)
Not to brag, but also, to brag, my cooking skills have come a looooong way. Not like I was a good cook as a small child though, just that I went from becoming a bad cook or no-cook kind of cook to the allergy-free baker I am now. For instance, my first cooking experience was…
