I remember when I was probably 6 years old we were building our new house and living with our grandparents while we were doing so. Every once in a while for a special treat Grandma would get though little mini vanilla doughnuts for us to enjoy with breakfast; they were so delicious! These vanilla doughnuts…
Chocolate Coconut Oil Fat Bombs
Once upon a time, I bought a gummy bear mold with intentions to make homemade gummy bears. But when the mold came I realized I had no gelatin. But I’d already spent a whopping $10.89 of my hard-earned cash, so I had to do something with this mold while I waited for my Vital Proteins…
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 Berry Pop Tarts
I have eaten exactly 5 pop tarts in my life. The reason I know that is when I was 11 years old, my friend and I loved horses and wanted to attend a week-long horseback riding day camp at a local ranch. The problem was that the day camp cost about $300 per person, and…
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…
Paleo Vegan Chocolate Cake
As I’ve mentioned before, February is the month of birthdays in our house. We always have a big family birthday bash with cake and presents for everybody. As the allergy-free cook of the family, I was put in charge of making the birthday cake. No grains, eggs, or dairy are allowed in said birthday cake!…

Low Carb Pumpkin Bars
I am of the opinion that pumpkin should not just be relegated to fall and Thanksgiving! It’s so much fun to incorporate this delicious squash into my food all months of the year. Pumpkin is also a high-nutrition, low-cal addition to baked goods; and canned organic pumpkin in available all year round; why wouldn’t we…
Sunbutter Chocolate Valentine’s Hearts (paleo, vegan, coconut-free, nut-free)
My sweet little sister turns FIFTEEN this Valentine’s day; it’s crazy because I remember when I turned fifteen; I felt so old and mature – lol. And let’s not even talk about the fact that I’m going to be nineteen this month; yes we won’t even mention it. Anyway, my sister is sensitive to gluten,…
AIP Banana Muffins (paleo, vegan)
I’ve made many, many versions of AIP banana muffins before I came up with the perfect recipe. But it was worth it; these delicious muffins are fluffy and soft and they rise and cook through and everything! Plus there’s no gelatin involved, so they’re vegan too! The secret to the amazingness of these muffins is plantain…
Salted Toffee Brownie Doughnuts – egg-free
Valentine’s Day is coming quickly, and I love any excuse to eat chocolate! That was pretty much the extent of rationalization that I needed to make these doughnuts. I also just bought myself some water chestnut flour, and I have to say that when it comes to egg-free paleo baking, water chestnut flour is a…

Low Carb Chocolate Muffins
Ah February. For most, this is the month of Valentine’s day, but for my family, it’s also the month of birthdays! It’s my birthday this month, by brother’s, my sister’s, my dad’s, my grandma’s, my cousin’s, and even our dog’s! So the fact that it’s also Valentine’s is a bit of an afterthought in our…
AIP Lemon Scones
I love lemon in any form. When I was little my grandma would make lemon loaf cake. Lemonade was always my jam. Now I like lemon water, but I thought I’d mix it up a little and make scones! These amazing scones are egg-free but you’d never know it. They’re luscious and lemony with a…
AIP Banana Bread Doughnuts
I’m not even sure that I need to say anything about this recipe. But because I’m told it’s good for search engines, here goes: These AIP banana bread doughnuts with creamy frosting are DA BOMB and you definitely cannot tell that they are free of grains, nuts, seeds, and (drumroll please)… EGGS! These fluffy doughnuts…
21DSD Apple Muffins
I’ts day 16 of the 21 Day Sugar Detox! I’m feeling like I have good energy, but man, I really want chocolate. Less than a week to go! In the meantime, I am loving these cute little apple muffins. I’ve been doing a lot with green bananas lately, but the green apples need a little…
