February is birthday month in my family; My twin brother and I are going to be 20 (!!!) and my little sister is going to be 16! I remember when I turned 16 and I thought I was sooooo old and mature. And so now I guess my little sister is old and mature as…
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…
Perfect Coconut Flour Brownies
So let’s talk about coconut flour. That’s the point where I can feel your eyes glazing over because seriously who wants to talk about the isolated fiber of a coconut? Me, that’s who! Why? Because I am a nerd. But also because the discussion involves brownies. Oh, are your ears perking up? Do you mean…
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…
Sugar Detox Coconut Butter Truffles
My family and I have this running kind-of-joke that some of the desserts that I cook are not sweet enough. In reality they’d probably like me to add probably 2 extra tablespoons of maple syrup to a recipe, but that extra 32 grams of sugar isn’t something I usually think the recipe needs. I think this…
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…
Paleo S’mores Cake
I’d like to tell you that this post is inspired by the fact that it is bonfire season (and indeed, I’d never miss a good bonfire), but really it’s because I’m obsessed with making homemade marshmallows with gelatin and stevia. So much so that I am currently clean out of gelatin. I just love being…
Paleo Sandwich Thins (nut-free, egg-free, vegan, low-carb)
The day after I got back from Paleo f(x) my dad grilled delicious beef burgers and we ate them with lettuce leaves as usual. But while we were eating Dad made a comment that he missed burger buns; and that was all I needed to get the wheels of my brain turning. I was super…
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…
2 Minute Coconut Flour Bread + Paleo Mug Muffins 2 is here!
It’s HERE! Paleo Mug Muffins 2, that is. That first Paleo Mug Muffins ebook was full of amazingly delicious recipes (if I do say so myself), and if you don’t have it, I highly recommend it! But I had a lot of folks asking if I had some more allergy-free options, like nut-free muffins,…
