I hope everyone had a wonderful and memorable and Christmas! Christmas is my favorite holiday of all time. I had a couple more Christmas posts planned, but what with all the festivities it just didn’t happen. One of my favorite Christmas presents was a doughnut pan, and I simply had to cook with it immediately!…
Paleo Sugar Cookies (with egg-free option)
I recently did a poll on my Facebook page: 19 comments later, I was fairly surprised by the results: I was expecting everyone to ask for pizelles or or something really fussy like that. But what everyone really missed was a good old-fashioned paleo sugar cookies recipe! Here’s a tally of the top…

Pumpkin Crepes with Roasted Apple Butter
I love crepes. And pumpkin. And apple butter. Putting them together = perfection. In my book, crepes always go with apple butter because one of my friend’s moms always serves her crepes with apple butter, and the results are pretty amazing. This apple butter contains no added sugar, and it is so full of flavor…
Pumpkin Fudge
I am obsessed with all things pumpkin these days. Can I just eat pumpkin for every meal? So delicious, and so many ways to use it too. I am also a total chocolate lover. Especially dark chocolate. So I decided mixing pumpkin and chocolate couldn’t be a bad idea. I was right. This pumpkin fudge…
The Perfect Paleo Snickerdoodles
I hate computers and I love the Internet. Two days ago, something weird happened on my website and ALL my recipes disappeared. My pictures were still there, but all of my cute little recipe forms were gone. I called my host FIVE times, my amazing tech-savvy aunt twice, I emailed my theme author, and I…
Paleo Butternut Squash Brownies
It’s fall. There. I said it. I WILL NOT say what season is coming after fall. Nope, the W-word is not in by vocabulary until December. Right now, I just want to enjoy fall. Can I just have fall and eat pumpkins and apples and squash and and cinnamon spice and the weather never…
Dairy Free Cheesy Potato Casserole (with AIP option)
Up here in the Midwest, we love food. We especially love eating food with friends. The average joe’s paridise up here is a nice big potluck. And the most favored food here? Cheese, of course. You know you’re in the Midwest when you find a huge dish of cheesy potatoes at every potluck, get-together, and…
Double Chocolate Mocha Cookies
I love making cookies, for many reasons. I love that I can lick the spoon. I love that I can make them allergy-friendly. And the I love that I can put whatever I want in them and the world won’t judge me. I am also a coffee lover. I’m not an excessive coffee drinker, but…
Paleo Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
I feel like fall has come. I was so happy with nice hot summer, and then BOOM – Labor day was here, school started (yay for advanced biology!), and the temps dropped about 20 degrees. I really can’t complain; I really enjoy the 60’s to 70’s temps, and the leaves are just starting to…
Paleo Crusty Bread
I have been on a quest for a good paleo bread for a long time. I wanted a paleo crusty bread loaf that had that “real bread” look, texture, and taste. When I made a savory soup or paleo pasta dish, I often wish for something to mop up that last bit of sauce with, or to…
Paleo Bagels
This recipe is for the bagel purists. There are so many recipes on the Internet for paleo bagels, but most of them are just savory muffin batter baked in doughnut pans. Forgive me, but that just isn’t a bagel. I feel like if you’re going to eat bread, or a bagel, or a pancake, or…
Perfect Paleo Flatbread
It’s not often that I make a recipe more than once before posting it, but this recipe has gotten made in our house three times in the last three days. And there are only four pieces left as I type. I keep finding excuses to make it, and we all find excuses to eat it….
Paleo Banana Bread Bars (No Egg Whites)
When I made this paleo banana bread recipe, we were overrun with bananas that all decided to ripen together. Like a few pounds of them. No one in our house really likes to eat bananas just by themselves; oh no; we must have freshly baked banana bread. Even my dad, who really doesn’t like…
Paleo Apple Cherry Muffins
I love making treats that are relatively guilt-free. These muffins are only fruit-sweetened. I am known in my family for not making things sweet enough, but my family, including my teenage brother, loves these muffins. I have been making so many treats for my blog lately, they are starting to clutter up our fridge. …
No-Fail Avocado Fudge
I am notorious for my terrible fudge-making skills. I’ve probably tried to make a fudge recipe at least five different times, and failed every time. It was a very depressing time in my life. One time I even tried a traditional recipe for fudge that I found online. It didn’t set up AT ALL. It…
