I remember the first time I had paleo carrot cake. It was actually a recipe from Make It Paleo by Bill Staley and Haley Mason. It was delicious, and I have been in love ever since. I loved the idea of putting a vegetable in dessert. It practically makes it a salad. I’ve had paleo carrot…
No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies
I sent out a poll on my Facebook page a couple days ago: Within 24 hours, I had lots of votes. The race was close, but the No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies eventually won the day with 12 votes to 10 for the meatballs. I must admit that you who voted chose well. These no bake…
Coconut Panna Cotta (AIP)
My local health food store just got young thai coconuts in stock!! I was sooooo excited!!! As you can tell from my use of multiple exclamation points!! I’ve always wanted to make something with a fresh coconut. So I bought one. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with it, but…
Paleo Cereal Flakes (AIP)
I’m sure that most of us paleo people have heard of Julian Bakery by now. Paleo bread, paleo cereal, wraps, pizza, etc., etc. I recently tried their Paleo Coconut Flakes and really liked them, but I will not buy Julian Bakery’s products because of some drama that went down earlier this winter. I won’t rehash…
Green-a-licious Smoothie (a guest post from Macy of Paleo Crumbs)
Note from Heather: I am so honored to have Macy Diulus guest posting on my blog. I found her blog through Facebook, and as soon as I took a look at it, I was pretty much obsessed. This girl is amazing. She is only 16, has gastroparesis, but has a blog with amazing recipes and…
Cassava Flour Rolls
Ahhhh bread. I love bread. Bread hates me. But I still want to eat it, and so does my family. Sometimes a good beef stew in the winter just isn’t complete without cassava flour rolls smothered in butter. Maybe even some raw honey…. … … … Sorry…..zoned out there for a minute. Seriously though, I’ve tried…

Paleo Berry Cobbler (AIP)
Here in the Resler house, we love our cobblers and crisps. We have one at least twice a month, and it’s our company dessert of choice. Crisp is so easy to throw together, but it tastes like pie; what’s not to love? This paleo berry cobbler recipe is great because it’s so low in sugar…
Chocolate Espresso Snack Bars
I have a confession. I am not perfect paleo. Go ahead, unlike me on Facebook, unfollow me on Twitter and Pinterest; I won’t cry. Too much. I am totally gluten free and mostly dairy free and 95% paleo, but I have one vice, and that vice is… wait for it…. protein bars. Think Thin…
Chocolate Triple Berry Muffins
It’s almost spring!! Well, sort of. Kinda. Not really. But an early sign of spring here in the Midwest is when the berries go on sale at the supermarket. I just got some of this awesome tigernut flour from Organic Gemini. Tigernuts are not actually a nut; they are a starchy tuber. Tigernut flour adds…
Paleo Pierogies- a guest post on Predominantly Paleo
There are some foods that hold a certain nostalgia. For me, pierogies is one of those foods. It all began when my aunt and uncle would serve us kids frozen pierogies, fried up in butter. Then my dad started making them for us. For me, pierogies became Dad’s treat, something that we would get when…

We have pasta for your lasagna. This amazing pasta involves my latest obsession: Otto’s Natural’s Cassava flour. I got my sample pack in the…
Blueberry Breakfast Cake
I don’t think it’s a secret that I love to bake. And my family loves me for it. At least for the things that turn out well. While I love to create delicious confections, I also want to insert as much nutrition as I can and as little sugar as I can get away…
Orange Poppyseed Paleo Teacakes with Thyme
This paleo teacakes recipe reminds me of when I was a little kid, and I and my friends would play this game where I was the grumpy “Miss Manderly” teaching my friends to act like proper ladies over teatime. Most of the time the “tea” and “teacakes” were simply imaginary, and the fun in the…
Spaghetti Squash Carbonara with Butternut Squash
I love to bake. Like love it. Breads, cookies, muffins, pies; if it has sugar; I love to make it paleo. But it’s the new year now, and I’m pretty sure everybody is pretty sugared out from the holidays. I was in the mood for something comforting and creamy when I made this carbonara,…
