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. The bottom layer is a crunchy pecan pie crust, topped with a pumpkin “caramel” filling, and doused in a rich chocolate ganache….
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…
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 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,…
Sugar Detox Coconut Butter Truffles
My family and I have this running kind-of-joke that some of the desserts that I cook are not sweet enough. In reality they’d probably like me to add probably 2 extra tablespoons of maple syrup to a recipe, but that extra 32 grams of sugar isn’t something I usually think the recipe needs. I think this…
Paleo Protein Brownies (egg and nut-free)
Let’s talk about big words. Here’s a ton of big words: “My sufficiency has been serensified. Any more would be obnoxious to my superfluity.” Apparently this is something that my grandparents say occasionally when they don’t want any more food; we found this out on a recent vacation we went on with them. I now…
Chocolate Coconut Protein Bark
The more collagen I buy or get sent, the more amazing uses I keep thinking for it! I’ve done protein bars, protein waffles, and even protein pancakes. But the thing that I’ve never done is this (drumroll please…) protein CANDY! Protein candy? How is that even a thing? Well, when you consider that most protein bars…
Paleo Lemon Brownies
I was perusing through Pinterest the other day (so productive – lol) and I saw a pin that would change my life. Well, not really, but this was a very important pin. It was a picture of what the blog post author called “lemon brownies.” They were of course made with wheat flour but they…
No Bake Paleo Magic Cookie Bars
There was a period of time in my childhood that I have decided to refer to as the Magic Cookie Bar Era. What that means is that every time we would go to a get-together, playdate, party, or potluck, my mother would make her amazing 7 layer bars, or magic cookie bars. Come to think…
Paleo Cookie Brownies (egg-free)
I was surfing the web (read; Pinteresting) the other day and came across a cookie-brownie-cookie dough bar recipe that looked totally amazing. It was called Cavity Brownies, and was basically a chocolate chip cookie, crust, a brownie layer, and a cookie dough top layer. I was intrigued and knew I had to make a paleo…
Paleo Fudgy Brownies
I am constantly on a quest for perfect brownies. It’s not a bad life. To me, perfect brownie means fudgy and dense on the inside, and bit crispy on top. No fluffy, cakey brownies for me, thank you very much! My Plantain Brownies fit that bill quite well, but I developed this recipe in case…
The Best Chewy Coconut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
I didn’t always love coconut flour. The first recipe I ever made with coconut flour was a pancake recipe; it called for an entire cup of coconut flour and yielded absolutely the worst pancakes I have ever eaten. After that traumatic experience I took a break from coconut flour in my paleo eating. I’ve since…
Paleo Sweet Potato Brownies
Well, today is my 19th birthday; it’s been exactly 1 year since I became an adult. I feel kind of old, but my parents just laugh at me when I say that 😛 😉 It’s hard to believe that I started this blog fully 3 years ago; I remember I worked food service and blogged…
