Apple crumble. So easy, but arguably one of the most delicious desserts. Perfect topped with coconut cream and served with hot coffee. I ate this for breakfast this morning. Don’t tell anyone 🙂 This apple crumble is also AIP-friendly, so no eggs, nuts, nightshades, or seeds. But it’s still delicious! Shared at Fat Tuesday Also…
Spiced Paleo Pear Muffins With Crumb Topping
Sometimes an idea for a recipe just jumps into my head. We had these beautiful red pears in our fruit basket, and they were at the peak of ripeness. I thought they would be just fabulous in a spiced muffin. I was right! These fine-textured muffins are full of spices like cinnamon and sweet…
Crispy Fried Plantains
I feel almost guilty posting a recipe as simple as this one, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about cooking in the last year, it’s that simple is almost always best. I make these several times per week, and I have to hide them from my mom when I do because she also loves…

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
My dad loves this soup. I was totally shocked, because he hates squash. Like he will not touch a squash with a ten-foot pole. But he is dipping potato chips in it as I type. Not that I recommend that for health reasons, but still, I have never seen him even consider eating anything orange….

Paleo Lo Mein
This recipe is really quite easy; especially if you buy pre-chopped veggies. The pure flavors of Chinese lo mein are recreated in this recipe without noodles, soy or even sesame oil, which can be damaged by cooking. This lo mein is so delicious, and it was the best breakfast I’ve had in forever. And yes…
Fluffy Chestnut Flour Pancakes
I should be a commercial for chestnut flour. I just love it when I find a new paleo-friendly ingredient! I honestly don’t know why more paleo people don’t cook with chestnut flour. I adore it because it combines the best of three worlds: the nuttiness of other nut…
My Water Kefir Adventures (how to make water kefir)
My family officially thinks I’m weird. Not that they didn’t before, but now that I have mysterious-looking jars surrounded by Christmas lights sitting on the counter 24/7, it’s official. So what is the point of all this jar-hoarding? Well, for Christmas I was given a copy of Fermented by Jill Cicciarelli, which is a book…
My Kombucha Adventures (how to make kombucha)
Well, here it is; my promised post about my kombucha-making endeavors! Kombucha is essentially a fermented tea. The tea is fermented via a culture called a SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony of Bacteria and Yeast) It’s most likely a vinegar mother, but no one really know where it came from. Kind of exciting, right? Anyway, kombucha has…
Chestnut Flour Muffin
We have discovered another amazing grain-free flour: chestnut flour! Made from starchy chestnuts, it’s easy to use and has a slightly sweet, whole-wheatish (that’s totally a word) flavor that makes this bread taste so much like real bread that you’ll wonder if there’s wheat in it (but there isn’t)! This muffin is great with breakfast…
Paleo Beef Stew
Stew is probably my favorite meal to cook. It’s not quick, but the process requires only real, whole foods, a little know-how, and lots of love. Creating a great stew is like painting a picture, layer upon layer, to make the finished dish flavorful and complex; truly a masterpiece. This beef stew is full…
Paleo Fajitas
I regret to say that I cannot take any credit for this recipe. These fajitas are all Dad (the Grill King). I would have him write a guest post on this recipe, but he’s not exactly a blogger if you know what I mean. 😉 Anyway, I was blown away when I tried these fajitas….
Warm Buttered Kelp Noodles and Vegetables
I must share with you my latest successful creation, Warm Buttered Noodles with veggies. I decided to experiment one day at lunch and quite fell in love with the results! Mom was quite skeptical when she saw me adding nutmeg, but the moment she tasted it she was won over. Seriously, a pinch of nutmeg…
Paleo Cottage Fries (white potatoes)
We’ve always been a meat-and-potatoes family. Mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, grilled potatoes, you name it, we cook it. Once we went paleo we eliminated the Ortega steak fries and subbed in homemade wedges and such. I know potatoes are not always acknowledged as paleo, but they are a real food and great for active people….
