Lots of amazing things are happening in my neck of the woods! I can’t tell you about everything yet, but here are two things that I am ready to shout to the world: 1) I am on Instagram!! It’s officially my new favorite social network. If you want to see a behind-the-scenes part of…
Paleo French Bread (nut-free)
I love it when I nail a recipe on the first try. Sometimes I have to work and work for days to find the perfect chemistry for a recipe. Most of the time I’ll give up and come back later when I have more baking chemistry knowledge. You could say this recipe has been a…
AIP Scones with Raspberries
When I was 7 years old, and was absolutely obsessed with my Easy Bake oven. I loved to stir up the little mixes, scoop them into the pan, and push them into the oven. The seconds would tick by so slowly as I waited for my confection to bake. When the timer finally beeped, I…
Paleo Broccoli Salad
It’s finally warming up here in the Midwest and I am so happy! When the sun finally starts shining, I start thinking about fresh veggies and paleo broccoli salad. It’s too early to start planting anything, but the supermarkets are getting fresher produce. Our family loves to have crisp, flavorful salads at out summer…
Paleo Breakfast Bars with Raspberries (guest post on Eat Your Beets)
I’m so honored to be guest posting this delicious paleo breakfast bars recipe for Trisha on her amazing blog, Eat Your Beets! Go check it out and don’t forget to follow her; she’s awesome! Fruit-filled bars bring back such fond memories for me. We kids used to have sleepovers at…
Plantain Brownies 2.0
Many of you may remember my first attempt at plantain brownies: Were they delicious? I thought so. I have a pretty low “sweetness threshold” though. Other people were saying that they weren’t fudgy enough and not sweet enough. Since I only have 2 recipes for brownies on my blog (the other one is…
Maple Vanilla Chia Pudding (guest post from Hold The Grain)
From Heather: I’m so excited to have the amazingly talented Tess from Hold The Grain guest posting today! Doesn’t this vanilla chia pudding look so amazing? I found her blog by accident and I am so glad I did! Her photography is beautiful, and she’s got such a great mix of grain…
Paleo Pancake Bread with Blueberries
I feel like doing a major happy dance right now. Why? Because every time my mother goes grocery shopping, she gets fresh berries! In my mind, that means spring is here! I love cooking with berries. It’s so fun; how else can you add big sweet blue blotches to a loaf of paleo pancake bread?…
AIP Breakfast Bars with Applesauce and Raisins
I have kind of a thing for bars. I don’t know what it is, but I just love the idea of being able to grab a delicious bar and eat it and be fueled. The problem is, most paleo-friendly bars are either not very good, or they are a big loaf of nuts and seeds….
Cassava Flour Pizza Crust (paleo thin crust)
My family loves pizza. Before paleo, we loved to have make-you-own-pizza movie nights. Mom would make her famous herbed pizza dough, and then we would all roll out our little circles of dough and top the crusts to our hearts’ desires. We went through a lot of paleo pizza dough recipes to find one…
Creamy Butternut Squash Lasagna (AIP, guest post on The Paleo Mom)
My family has a long history of casseroles. My favorite supper as a child was my grandmother’s tater tot casserole, which involved beef, cheese, tater tots, and of course the ever-present cream of mystery soup. I also loved my mother’s chicken and rice casserole, which for me was more of a rice casserole with a…
Paleo Soft Pretzels (nut-free, with AIP option)
I have had a soft pretzel a total of one time in my entire life. I was at a baseball game (the only one I’ve ever been to). I believe our team won, but I can’t remember. The soft pretzel is what I remember. I never was a pretzel-lover, but that soft pretzel was something…
Paleo Apple Strudel (nut-free)
Mother’s day is coming, and I’ve been thinking of the apple strudel that Mom always used to make for Mother’s Day brunch before paleo. She would use homemade dough and apple filling that she would make in the fall and freeze for later use. The result was a sweet apple pastry with a flaky dough that…
Carob Chip Cookies (AIP)
I’m going to be totally honest with you guys. I don’t like carob. Not that I dislike it in and of itself, but I dislike the fact that it tries to be chocolate. One Direction will never be The Beatles*, and carob will never be chocolate, even in carob chip cookies. That said, carob can…
Paleo Swedish Meatballs with Roasted Veggies
I know I do a lot of “special occasion” recipes, but I think it’s also important to post delicious recipes that you can eat every day. My family eats a lot of ground beef and veggies because we find that there’s so many way to prepare them deliciously and we feel so good eating this…
Taco-Spiced Paleo Deviled Eggs (guest post on PaleOMG)
I’m so excited and honored to be guest posting these paleo deviled eggs on PaleOMG! I’ve never been quite sure if I liked deviled eggs. They always sounded like a great idea, but the reality always seemed to disappoint. I decided to try and make some myself, subbing avocado for the mayo and adding some…
