Lots of amazing things are happening in my neck of the woods! I can’t tell you about everything yet, but here are two things that I am ready to shout to the world: 1) I am on Instagram!! It’s officially my new favorite social network. If you want to see a behind-the-scenes part of…

Plantain Brownies 2.0
Many of you may remember my first attempt at plantain brownies: Were they delicious? I thought so. I have a pretty low “sweetness threshold” though. Other people were saying that they weren’t fudgy enough and not sweet enough. Since I only have 2 recipes for brownies on my blog (the other one is…
Carob Chip Cookies (AIP)
I’m going to be totally honest with you guys. I don’t like carob. Not that I dislike it in and of itself, but I dislike the fact that it tries to be chocolate. One Direction will never be The Beatles*, and carob will never be chocolate, even in carob chip cookies. That said, carob can…
Paleo Carrot Cake Bars (nut-free)
I remember the first time I had paleo carrot cake. It was actually a recipe from Make It Paleo by Bill Staley and Haley Mason. It was delicious, and I have been in love ever since. I loved the idea of putting a vegetable in dessert. It practically makes it a salad. I’ve had paleo carrot…
No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies
I sent out a poll on my Facebook page a couple days ago: Within 24 hours, I had lots of votes. The race was close, but the No Bake Chocolate Chip Cookies eventually won the day with 12 votes to 10 for the meatballs. I must admit that you who voted chose well. These no bake…
Chocolate Espresso Snack Bars
I have a confession. I am not perfect paleo. Go ahead, unlike me on Facebook, unfollow me on Twitter and Pinterest; I won’t cry. Too much. I am totally gluten free and mostly dairy free and 95% paleo, but I have one vice, and that vice is… wait for it…. protein bars. Think Thin…

Orange Poppyseed Paleo Teacakes with Thyme
This paleo teacakes recipe reminds me of when I was a little kid, and I and my friends would play this game where I was the grumpy “Miss Manderly” teaching my friends to act like proper ladies over teatime. Most of the time the “tea” and “teacakes” were simply imaginary, and the fun in the…
Paleo Sugar Cookies (with egg-free option)
I recently did a poll on my Facebook page: 19 comments later, I was fairly surprised by the results: I was expecting everyone to ask for pizelles or or something really fussy like that. But what everyone really missed was a good old-fashioned paleo sugar cookies recipe! Here’s a tally of the top…

Pumpkin Fudge
I am obsessed with all things pumpkin these days. Can I just eat pumpkin for every meal? So delicious, and so many ways to use it too. I am also a total chocolate lover. Especially dark chocolate. So I decided mixing pumpkin and chocolate couldn’t be a bad idea. I was right. This pumpkin fudge…
The Perfect Paleo Snickerdoodles
I hate computers and I love the Internet. Two days ago, something weird happened on my website and ALL my recipes disappeared. My pictures were still there, but all of my cute little recipe forms were gone. I called my host FIVE times, my amazing tech-savvy aunt twice, I emailed my theme author, and I…
Paleo Butternut Squash Brownies
It’s fall. There. I said it. I WILL NOT say what season is coming after fall. Nope, the W-word is not in by vocabulary until December. Right now, I just want to enjoy fall. Can I just have fall and eat pumpkins and apples and squash and and cinnamon spice and the weather never…
Double Chocolate Mocha Cookies
I love making cookies, for many reasons. I love that I can lick the spoon. I love that I can make them allergy-friendly. And the I love that I can put whatever I want in them and the world won’t judge me. I am also a coffee lover. I’m not an excessive coffee drinker, but…
Paleo Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
I feel like fall has come. I was so happy with nice hot summer, and then BOOM – Labor day was here, school started (yay for advanced biology!), and the temps dropped about 20 degrees. I really can’t complain; I really enjoy the 60’s to 70’s temps, and the leaves are just starting to…
