I am notorious for my terrible fudge-making skills. I’ve probably tried to make a fudge recipe at least five different times, and failed every time. It was a very depressing time in my life. One time I even tried a traditional recipe for fudge that I found online. It didn’t set up AT ALL. It…
Ultimate Paleo Chocolate Macaroons
It seems like every third recipe that I post has something to do with chocolate. I really am a bit of a chocolate fanatic. Not just any chocolate, but real, dark, high quality chocolate. If the chocolate is good enough, I can even eat it with no added sugar. Just the pure goodness of…
Coconut Chia Cranberry Paleo Energy Bars
I am slightly obsessed with chia seeds lately. I know, I know, they’re not a superfood, but they do have some good fiber and they are so versatile for cooking. I have been eating chia puddings pretty much every morning, and I also love chia seeds in kombucha. Chia seeds are pretty…
Fudgy Plantain Brownies (Egg-Free, Nut-Free)
NOTE: There is an updated version (sweeter, fudgier, better texture) here: Fudgy Plantain Brownies 2.0 This post is all about chocolate. I absolutely adore chocolate. The darker, the better. I’ve noticed that the longer I eat paleo/low sugar, the more sensitive my tastebuds are to sweetness. Instead of coffee (which makes me…
Plantain-Chia Seed Paleo Breakfast Cookies
Do you ever go to the store looking for green plantains for a recipe only to find that the only plantains they have are way too ripe for any baking recipes? So annoying. When I don’t have green plantains around to fry up or make into baked goods, I actually crave them. Weird, I know….
Chocolate Chip Paleo Biscotti
I have a teensy weensy confession: This is the first time I have made biscotti. So I guess you could say I’ve had some beginner’s luck, because these are REALLY. GOOD. Like delicious. Crisp and chocolatey. There are so many ways you could eat these: With morning coffee With afternoon coffee With evening (decaf) coffee With…
Chestnut Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies 2 Ways
There is a new family controversy afoot. Yesterday I got a reader request for a chestnut flour chocolate chip cookie recipe. I thought, ‘Wow, why didn’t I think of that!.’ So I did a quick Google search for ideas, then set to work. The resulting cookie was thin, chewy, and fairly nutty. …

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 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…
