I remember the first time we got a pattypan squash. It was last summer at one of our local farmers markets. Pattypans are sooo cute, and we love to saute them or roast them with some garlic and sea salt. Today was my day off though, and I felt like doing something a…
Ultimate Paleo Chocolate Macaroons
It seems like every third recipe that I post has something to do with chocolate. I really am a bit of a chocolate fanatic. Not just any chocolate, but real, dark, high quality chocolate. If the chocolate is good enough, I can even eat it with no added sugar. Just the pure goodness of…
Papaya Pepper
We are a very meat-and-potatoes family. Give us a nice roast, some baked potatoes, and lots of butter, salt, and pepper, and we are happy campers. Sometimes though, I like to sneak in little surprises. Like putting beef heart in stew, or adding liver to meatloaf (I actually haven’t gotten the courage to try…

Coconut Chia Cranberry Paleo Energy Bars
I am slightly obsessed with chia seeds lately. I know, I know, they’re not a superfood, but they do have some good fiber and they are so versatile for cooking. I have been eating chia puddings pretty much every morning, and I also love chia seeds in kombucha. Chia seeds are pretty…

A ton has happened in the last couple of weeks. My book has come out, I’ve hosted a couple guest posts, I’ve guest posted, and I’ve been on Low Carb Conversations (listen here if you haven’t yet)! Life is crazy amazing. All the craziness is also making me a little silly: Anyway,…

Fudgy Plantain Brownies (Egg-Free, Nut-Free)
NOTE: There is an updated version (sweeter, fudgier, better texture) here: Fudgy Plantain Brownies 2.0 This post is all about chocolate. I absolutely adore chocolate. The darker, the better. I’ve noticed that the longer I eat paleo/low sugar, the more sensitive my tastebuds are to sweetness. Instead of coffee (which makes me…
Strawberry Shortcake Paleo Pancakes
I have the best memories of Mom’s strawberry shortcake pancakes. She would whip up her amazing, fluffy, whole wheat pancakes, and then she would top them with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream. She only made it in springtime because that’s when strawberries are on sale. I always knew it was spring when Mom…
Chocolate Mocha Chia Pudding
I love coffee. I may have an issue. I have loved coffee ever since I was a cute little 7-year old asking,”Mommy, can I have some cofffeeee?” Of course, back then I would pretty much drink milk and sugar flavored with a few drops of coffee. Now, I am a little more hard-core. …
Beet and Carrot Salad with Basil and Raw ACV
When the weather warms up (finally!), I always start thinking about fresh produce. I thought today that I should probably make a treat recipe for the blog, but well, I could only think about fresh produce. Mom went to the farmer’s market a couple of days ago and bought some beautiful beets that I…
