Cassava Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
The true test of a flour is the chocolate chip cookie. Yes, I know I’ve made french bread and pasta and pizza with cassava flour, but really, the cookie is the real test. The first time I tried these cookies I added some coconut flour. The resulting cookies was too tough. I decided to…
Bacon and Avocado Kelp Noodle Salad
When I was younger, my favorite cookout food was the pasta salad. No joke. Even when I went paleo, I could forego the bun and potatoes and chips and soda, but I always had to have a scoop of the pasta salad. Now that I’m a diagnosed celiac, cookout pasta salad cheats are out…
Paleo Multi Grain Bread (nut-free)
It’s ironic; before I went paleo, I actually hated bread. The reason being mostly that my family would always buy the “all-natural, 100% whole grain, no-high-fructose corn syrup” bread from the grocery store. Man that stuff was terrible. It might have been free of high fructose corn syrup, but I’m pretty sure there was…
Paleo Chocolate Cookies (paleo, nut-free, egg-free, seed-free)
When we first started paleo when I was 14, the food requirements weren’t too hard. Grain-free, legume-free, refined sugar-free. Now, things are a little more complicated. It seems like everyone is allergic to dairy, and so many people can’t have eggs, these restrictions being in my own family. I have at least one paleo chocolate…
AIP Sweet Potato Bread
I love finding new ingredients to play with. Especially fun new flours, because baking is one of my favorite hobbies. So when I got these flours in the mail from Anti-Grain, I was beyond excited. I guess you know you’re a paleo blogger when your day is made by receiving sweet potato, apple, and squash…
Pineapple Muffins – a guest post on Hold The Grain
Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits. I don’t know what it is, but I could eat whole pineapple in one sitting, except that my mother and friends love it just as much as I do. I also have an affinity for coconut. I just can’t understand people not liking coconut. To each their…
Paleo Lemon Biscotti with Poppyseeds
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…
Paleo French Bread (nut-free)
I love it when I nail a recipe on the first try. Sometimes I have to work and work for days to find the perfect chemistry for a recipe. Most of the time I’ll give up and come back later when I have more baking chemistry knowledge. You could say this recipe has been a…

AIP Scones with Raspberries
When I was 7 years old, and was absolutely obsessed with my Easy Bake oven. I loved to stir up the little mixes, scoop them into the pan, and push them into the oven. The seconds would tick by so slowly as I waited for my confection to bake. When the timer finally beeped, I…
Paleo Broccoli Salad
It’s finally warming up here in the Midwest and I am so happy! When the sun finally starts shining, I start thinking about fresh veggies and paleo broccoli salad. It’s too early to start planting anything, but the supermarkets are getting fresher produce. Our family loves to have crisp, flavorful salads at out summer…
Paleo Breakfast Bars with Raspberries (guest post on Eat Your Beets)
I’m so honored to be guest posting this delicious paleo breakfast bars recipe for Trisha on her amazing blog, Eat Your Beets! Go check it out and don’t forget to follow her; she’s awesome! Fruit-filled bars bring back such fond memories for me. We kids used to have sleepovers at…
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…
Maple Vanilla Chia Pudding (guest post from Hold The Grain)
From Heather: I’m so excited to have the amazingly talented Tess from Hold The Grain guest posting today! Doesn’t this vanilla chia pudding look so amazing? I found her blog by accident and I am so glad I did! Her photography is beautiful, and she’s got such a great mix of grain…
Paleo Pancake Bread with Blueberries
I feel like doing a major happy dance right now. Why? Because every time my mother goes grocery shopping, she gets fresh berries! In my mind, that means spring is here! I love cooking with berries. It’s so fun; how else can you add big sweet blue blotches to a loaf of paleo pancake bread?…
