I have the best memories of Mom’s strawberry shortcake pancakes. She would whip up her amazing, fluffy, whole wheat pancakes, and then she would top them with fresh sliced strawberries and whipped cream. She only made it in springtime because that’s when strawberries are on sale. I always knew it was spring when Mom…
Chocolate Mocha Chia Pudding
I love coffee. I may have an issue. I have loved coffee ever since I was a cute little 7-year old asking,”Mommy, can I have some cofffeeee?” Of course, back then I would pretty much drink milk and sugar flavored with a few drops of coffee. Now, I am a little more hard-core. …
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…
Plantain Biscuits
I love plantains. I adore them. I have dreams at night of Plantain Land, where all I ever have to eat is plantains. Ok, so maybe I don’t dream about them, but plantains are definitely a staple in my diet and cooking. Why do I love plantains so much? Well, for one, they are so…
Paleo Banana Mug Cake
Happy Easter everyone! Sorry the blog has been a bit slow lately; I’ve been hard at work on the cookbook! I am obsessed with mug muffins. I really feel like there is no end to what you can do with them. They also have healthy protein and fat from the egg, so they’re fairly nutritious. …
Paleo Ice Cream Bars
Oh yes I did. These are ice cream bars. They are for all your spring/summer picnics. They are for when your kids’ friends come over hungry. They are for those times when your family is begging you for crud food. They are for those nights when all you want to do is eat ice cream…
Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes
We all love lemon poppyseed anything. Like anything. Especially muffins. My little sister Julia will eat three lemon poppyseed muffins in a row if we turn our back. This recipe is dedicated to her because she is also the family pancake lover. This recipe is definitely the best of both worlds! Shared at Fat Tuesday,…
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. …
AIP Apple Crumble
Apple crumble. So easy, but arguably one of the most delicious desserts. Perfect topped with coconut cream and served with hot coffee. I ate this for breakfast this morning. Don’t tell anyone 🙂 This apple crumble is also AIP-friendly, so no eggs, nuts, nightshades, or seeds. But it’s still delicious! Shared at Fat Tuesday Also…
Spiced Paleo Pear Muffins With Crumb Topping
Sometimes an idea for a recipe just jumps into my head. We had these beautiful red pears in our fruit basket, and they were at the peak of ripeness. I thought they would be just fabulous in a spiced muffin. I was right! These fine-textured muffins are full of spices like cinnamon and sweet…

Fluffy Chestnut Flour Pancakes
I should be a commercial for chestnut flour. I just love it when I find a new paleo-friendly ingredient! I honestly don’t know why more paleo people don’t cook with chestnut flour. I adore it because it combines the best of three worlds: the nuttiness of other nut…
Chestnut Flour Muffin
We have discovered another amazing grain-free flour: chestnut flour! Made from starchy chestnuts, it’s easy to use and has a slightly sweet, whole-wheatish (that’s totally a word) flavor that makes this bread taste so much like real bread that you’ll wonder if there’s wheat in it (but there isn’t)! This muffin is great with breakfast…
