The cool taste of peppermint patties always brings back memories of being a little girl and grocery shopping with my mother. I’ve always been domestically inclined, and when I was only 4 or 5 I enjoyed “helping” my mother do the family grocery shopping each week. After the food for our family of five was…

Hi friends! I am so exciting to be here guest posting for Heather today. I’ve got a delightful treat to share with you, and it’s perfect for Thanksgiving. Enter: Pecan Pumpkin Caramel Bars.

Paleo Pumpkin Doughnuts (egg-free) + Cook It Up Paleo name change
It’s good to be typing up a blog post again after being MIA for such a long while. I’ve got some announcements that I’m super excited to share with you guys, so I’ll just jump right into it – I remember the days when I started blogging and the Paleo movement was just a baby….
Paleo Caramel Brownies
February is birthday month in my family; My twin brother and I are going to be 20 (!!!) and my little sister is going to be 16! I remember when I turned 16 and I thought I was sooooo old and mature. And so now I guess my little sister is old and mature as…
AIP Coconut Caramel Cookie Bars
I was a little kid when I first tried caramel, and I’ve been in love ever since. With caramel, that is. I try to eat healthy and avoid candy and all that stuff and blah blah blah… but when caramel is present I’m pretty sure wild horses couldn’t keep me from it. Come to think…
AIP Orange Macaroons
Just when I think I can’t come up with another recipe that uses coconut, I come up with one. It’s basically my superpower. Like this: “It’s a bird!! It’s a plane!! No… IT’S…….. COCONUT RECIPE GIRL!!” Basically my identity without exaggeration. Anyway, you know what goes great with coconut? Everything. Obviously. But also oranges. I…
Cassava Flour Sugar Cookies
I have made these cookies like 5 times in the last 5 days. They just keep disappearing, so I have to make more. I mean it’s not like we’re eating that many cookies of course. Definitely not. But the few cookies we have eaten, IN MODERATION, of course, have been delicious. Perfectly sweet, chewy, dense…
Paleo Peppermint Bark
I am so excited for Christmas!! Seriously though I’m feeling very self-righteous right now because I’ve got my Christmas shopping nearly done. That’s definitely not normal for me; usually I’m just starting shopping now. But enough about me let’s talk about peppermint bark! I love chocolate, both dark and white, and this combo of the…
Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream – paleo, vegan, low carb
I just realized that I am posting an ice cream recipe in October. Kinda rebellious since the weather is cooling down, but that’s how I roll. Because who doesn’t want to sit inside as the trees turn yellow and red and chow down on deliciously creamy mint chocolate chip ice cream? Plus this recipe is…
Perfect Coconut Flour Brownies
So let’s talk about coconut flour. That’s the point where I can feel your eyes glazing over because seriously who wants to talk about the isolated fiber of a coconut? Me, that’s who! Why? Because I am a nerd. But also because the discussion involves brownies. Oh, are your ears perking up? Do you mean…
Paleo Skillet Peach Crisp
So it’s confession time: When I see ripe and delicious fruit sitting on our counter, what do you think I see? A healthy paleo afternoon snack with a dollop of almond butter? HAHA no. I see dessert. Not as in I’m so healthy I eat fruit as dessert, but I see the muffin or cake…
Paleo Chocolate Coconut Date Caramel Candies
I’m dealing with some guilt right now. Why? Because this post has been sitting in the archives in my blog post drafts for weeks. Now that kind of thing happens a lot, but this is CHOCOLATE COCONUT PALEO CARAMEL SLICE. Please forgive the all caps, this is just that important. I actually feel like I’ve…
Easy Paleo Lemon Cake
I love my family. One of the things I love about it is that we all really enjoy spending time together, even if a hangout is a teensy bit short-notice. But we always need some dessert; so I love having quick recipes on hand. A lot of times we will make gluten-free brownies but I…
AIP Strawberry Shortcake
During this season my mom always brings home lots of delicious and nutritious berries from the store when she shops each week. We love them for snacks and such, but if you’ve ever had a ton of beautiful red strawberries in your fridge you know they just sit there and basically beg you to cook…
Paleo Chocolate Protein Bars
Sometimes I find paleo products that I just love to use in everything; one of them is of course cassava flour and my two new obsessions are all the Date Lady products and Vital Proteins’ new collagen whey protein powder; both are so versatile and amazing! These amazing chocolate protein bars combine the Date Lady…
Paleo No Bake Brownies
So something momentous happened a couple of days ago that has nothing to do with brownies. And actually it has nothing to do with me. Well actually it sort of does. But not really. Heather, quit babbling and tell me what it is! Ok fine, if you’re going to be like that. My little sister,…
