You all know how much I love avocado, so I thought this post was only natural. I whipped this up last night when I was feeling the need for avocado dressing on my salad. It actually didn’t work on salad as well as I had hoped, but as a dipper for crudites there’s nothing better!…

Happy Easter everyone! I had some free time this afternoon and felt like baking; so I whipped these up! I am not that good at baking, but these turned out remarkably well! They are light and sweet and perfect for an Easter party or just an early spring treat. Hope you enjoy them! Strawberry…
Paleo Chicken Curry
For my birthday, Mom and I went to this amazing Thai restaurant in Madison and porked out on their to-die-for chicken curry. I wasn’t originally aiming to replicate it when I made up this recipe, but it tastes almost exactly like it! I love this curry because it’s easy and it doesn’t have non-staple ingredients…
Chocolate Avocado Smoothie
Perhaps I should have called this post “How to Get a 12 Year-Old to Eat an Avocado” or something like that because I just made it for Julia and she slurped it right up! I love it because it’s super-creamy and full of amazing fats. You don’t taste the avocado; it just adds a great…
Quick “No Oats” Paleo Hot Cereal Mix
It was the morning of my 16th birthday. I was surfing the Internet looking for fun recipes when I stumbled across a paleo porridge recipe. It looked amazing and I had everything. I made it and I couldn’t believe it, but it tasted exactly like the regular oatmeal that I’d been missing for so long!…
Bacon Wrapped Steaks
Ok…..so like I’m not trying to brag or anything but Dad says this is the best meal he’s had in a long time! It all started this morning when Mom asked me if we should have bacon wrapped venison tonight; I always like my deer meat so I was all for it. Then I ended…
Chocolate Orange Paleo Brownie Mounds
I had the hardest time naming this recipe. I was originally aiming for a chocolate-coconut pavlova with raspberries, but the result of my pavlova attempt was too substantial to be called a pavlova. Then I realized that we didn’t have any raspberies! So I made lemonade out of lemons and recalled that oranges and chocolate…
Paleo Crackers with Dill
I whipped up these fun crackers yesterday afternoon and even Julia lapped them up! Mom raved about the dill and said they were the best paleo crackers she’s ever had! I love them because they don’t totally exhaust our resources of almond flour, yet the recipe makes lots of crackers. I also love them because…
Paleo Gingerbread Cookies (without molasses)
I was in the mood to make Christmas cookies this weekend, so I decided to recreate a gingerbread cookie recipe that Mom used to make. It did not have molasses, but used butterscotch pudding mix. Man they were good… In order to replicate that flavor, I used lots of vanilla and a healthy dose of…
Paleo Truffles
In practicing my food photography, I needed a new recipe to try out my skills on. That’s the origin of this fudge-y truffle recipe. Conventional recipes for truffles use butter and cream, but I had just made some homemade coconut butter and thought that it might work well. The coconut butter was easy to make…
How to Make Coconut Butter
The following recipe is for coconut butter. The version is made with shredded coconut and therefore very economical. I think it’s delish and I love it with fruit or celery for a snack.

“Just Right” Paleo Cranberry Sauce
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! As I hope you can tell from the picture above, I have been practicing food photography, so hopefully the pictures on my blog from here on out will be better :). It would seem this recipe comes late, but the truth is that it’s so easy to…
Paleo Chicken Tetrazzini
Paleo Chicken Tetrazzini! When we were not paleo, Mom used to make this with cream soup and pasta; we called it “special spaghetti” and we just loved it! My version is just as delicious, and the kelp noodles actually got all tender and tasted just like angel hair. We ate ours with butternut squash, cooked…

Paleo Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Swirl
Ever wonder if it’s possible to make a healthy cinnamon roll? I did. I looked up recipes and even concocted one of my own, but it was a lot of work and left a lot to be desired when it came to flavor. Then, it hit me. Why not make a plain cake with a…
